Description of Giro Transfer Sport Bike Helmet

In-Mold technology reinforces this helmet in crucial areas, resulting in a light and tough helmet perfect for all-around use. 20 sweeping vents keep your head cool under pressure. The simple Acu Loc fit system offers a wide range of adjustability for the best fit.

The Giro Transfer Sport Bike Helmet is constructed with in-mold technology that fuses a tough outer microshell to the helmet's EPS foam liner. The fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, making the helmet lighter, cooler and tougher. The Transfer utilizes Giro's Acu Dial system, which combines single-handed adjustment with a full-fit band for a quick, sure fit. This Giro helmet features a snap-fit visor, and 20 vents that allow cool, fresh air in and stale, warm air out.

The Transfer sport helmet comes in Giro's Universal Fit Adult U size (54-61cm), carefully sculpted and size-specific to simplify the fitting process. Giro's Transfer helmet is a lightweight 255 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.

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 musch anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

Sports reviews of Giro Transfer Sport Bike Helmet

Customer Review: One size fits most
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

I needed a helmet after mine cracked from an impact so I chose this model. However, my former 2006 Bell Furio fit me well and was offered in 3 size ranges (and cost more). This helmet somehow manages to align a hard spot toward the back with my skull. It seems to be the shaping, and the old helmet had the hard shell ever so slightly spaced from my head. I used the pads supplied with the Giro Transfer to help avoid this contact and adjusted as much as possible, but if the padding of my hair thins any more things could get uncomfortable. Best to try on before buying. The design brings the front pretty low on the brow, which takes getting used to as well.

Customer Review: Nice Helmet
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This helmet is stylish and sporty. It is easy to fit and adjust to the head. The price is good and it affords the same protection as the expensive ones. I would highly recommend it.

Customer Review: Great for Big Heads
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I was worried that this helmet might not fit properly due to my extra large hat size. I was very pleased that it fit perfectly with only the slightest adjustment, which was very easy to make. Looks very cool as well. An excellent purchase. Quick delivery from 3rd party seller.

Customer Review: Way too small for an average adult!
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars

I ordered this helmet because the price was great, I liked the Red, White & Blue colors and free shipping! It arrived fine, but when I took this universal fit adult helmet out of the box it sat on the top of my head and there was no way it was going to fit. Even if I took everything out of the helmet it was way too small. It looked like a child's helmet. Thinking that perhaps my head was bigger than average I asked my very normal sized wife to try it on. It was too small for her too. So, I'm thinking that a child's helmet was packaged incorrectly in an adult box. Anyway, maybe universal fit is not the way to go. I returned it the next day and I'll look for helmets marked S,M,L.
