About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.
Sports reviews of Giro Flak Multi-Sport Helmet
Customer Review: Great Helmet
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This helmet suprised me, in that it was actually very comfortable and sleak. Keeps your head cool and secures nicely. The belts under the helmet are also of good material (silky and comfortable).Customer Review: It protects the noodle
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
It fits quite snuggly. I got the matte black and it scuffs like crazy :( I set it down and next think I know it looks like it's scratched from here to Timbuktu, but hey, it still works. The scuffs don't rub off, that's the complaint.Customer Review: Sturdy all purpose helmet, picture is a major false advertisement though
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I was looking for a bike helmet that was better made and differently styled than the standard bike helmets out there. This is a nice, multi-sport helmet that is heavier than a standard bike helmet so not the helmet to buy if weight is an issue. It's also a little hotter inside this helmet than a standard bike helmet but that is to be expected from this type of helmet. Appears to be made from higher quality materials as well. I agree with the one negative review, huge disappointment in the color. I couldn't see most of the reviews very well since I ordered this on my mobile. I bought the Matte Olive and the color is definitely more of a charcoal color and you might see the faint iridescent green in bright light and you strain to see it. Nothing at all close to the photo. Also, no size chart? I have 21" head circumference and bought the medium which gives a comfortable, not-too-snug fit.Customer Review: How Green is my Helmet?
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I purchased this helmet based on the photo shown. My bike is a metalic sage-ish green so I was really looking for a helmet that would compliment. The helmet is great, very comfortable and light. As one reviewer put it does scuff like crazy, but my biggest disappointment was the colour. The colour is closer to charcoal with a bit of green, that the iridescent green of the photo. So be warned if you fall in love with the colour, that's not the colour this helmet actually is.
