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: good one
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
nice helmet, the box arrived on time and no problem with the product... good buyCustomer Review: Helmet-No Death
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I wore the helmet during the recent 39-mile Bike NY Tour. I didn't fall, and consequently, I didn't get to see if the helmet would prevent my death. But, knowing I was protected, I rode faster than I ever have and was whizzing down the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge at a brisk 24 mph to wrap up the race. If I do fall, I will get back to you and let you know how it worked to save my head. Of course, should it fail, I will not be able to write a further review.Customer Review: A good buy
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
A comfy and economical helmet that fits surprisingly well. Only flaw I'd say is the weird angle of the side straps. Nevertheless, a great deal for a sub-$30 helmet.Customer Review: excellent helmet
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a very comfortable helmet with a nice fit. Most of the helmets you'll find in this price range don't fit well. Believe me, I've tried a number of them. But this one fits me great. My wife has the same model and it fits her well too, thanks to the dial-fit system.
One small piece of advice: It has a more rounded appearance from the front than most bike helmets do. So if you don't like the thought of a "round" look when someone's looking at you straight on, this might not be the helmet for you.
Customer Review: Great fit, great price

I really like this helmet. It's from a name brand company who has made many contributions to the innovation of bicycling helmets. It fits well - it has the "dial" fit system (every helmet company has their own name for it). It's easy to adjust, comfortable, comes with extra padding (I guess in case your head doesn't fit perfectly). It's one size fits all.
It didn't come with a visor and I do not see an option for one. I guess just get some sunglasses. The helmet is very compact and very light. Amazing value.
