Giro Isode MIPS Adult Recreational Cycling Helmet

I actually liked this helmet a lot. It is light and sturdy. Seems like it would withstand the impact. The color combination I got was cheaper than others and I think overall I am very happy with price as well. The color came out to be fantastic. So no complain overall. I really love the form factor it doesn't block my view when I am in an aggressive position in race bike, so that is a great plus. The helmet only comes in one size it fits me great, no problem for me, but I don't think it would fit someone with large head. I am not very happy with the seller though. Seller first send me a helmet that is cracked. So I had to ask for a replacement. Amazon send me a replacement. The replacement was actually fantastic. Now, once the replacement came in, I compare it with the first one and I noticed quite a few differences in terms of design and materials. And the first helmet was shipped on a plastic bag. The second one came in a proper giro packaging. I am not sure what to make of it. Either the seller is selling counterfeit product or the manufacturer quality control is really unreliable.

Just started to cycle more and saw that that there is a new technology called MIPS which helps with multi directional impact protection. Well, I figured i should upgrade from older Bell helmets from Costco from early 2000’s. But when I started looking, there were plenty of ones over $100. I knew Giro was a very popular brand so when I saw this model with MIPS at this price point, I was willing to try. I like the micro adjustment knob in the back. Really feels like it tightens down on your head but you can loosen to what feels good for you. Seems to get decent ventilation. Only part I didn’t like over my old helmet is a small visor. I must have had an older mtb style helmet with a small visor. Didn’t think it would make a difference but when heading into the sun, a small visor helps. But I really like the helmet and getting MIPS at this price is great. Hope to never have to use it but worth getting the upgraded tech in case of a crash. Safe biking everyone.

I’ve used Giro helmets for over 10 years and been very pleased with the fit and weight; I can’t stand to feel any weight on my head I can feel. Giro helmets are generally very light feeling and this one is no exception. What is exceptional about this model is the price, design, the fact it meets the current standards, attractiveness, and affordability! Previously Giro Helmets I’ve owned have challenged my budget. This one is a super bargain!

Great value, great helmet, lightweight. Fits big head guys like me

Just getting back into bicycles. I never wore a helmet as a kid when riding bikes, but I know it's the safe and smart thing to do now. And I'm used to wearing helmets since I also ride motorcycles. This one is equipped with MIPS, which I'm familiar with because of motorcycle helmets, and influenced my purchase. I barely notice this thing on my head. It's lightweight but feels high quality. The fit and finish are excellent, as I expect from this brand and the research I've done on it. The chin strap works well with me and doesn't rub or make me uncomfortable. The adjustable, universal fit dial makes this helmet so easy to wear. I haven't tested its protection, luckily, but I have confidence in this helmet to keep me safe if I ever crash. I've ridden in mild weather so far and the helmet is well-ventilated without making me feel cold. I don't think it would every make me feel warm, but I don't need it to. Outfitted it with the Isode II MIPS helmet light, which fits perfectly into a rear vent. That with the flouro yellow/green color makes me feel very visible on the road. Overall, love this helmet. Glad I took my time, read reviews, and found this one.
