Product Description The Giro Indicator 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 Indicator 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 Indicator 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 Indicator helmet is a lightweight 285 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.
Good for the priceNovember 10, 2008 For a $30 helmet, it seems good enough. The size can be adjusted for both the chin straps and the back of the head. The only knock I have on it is that the extra pads that come with it don't stick well at all. They even fall out when I am wearing the thing (not sure how that happens). I ended up super gluing the remaining pads inside the helmet.
Street Bike HelmetOctober 17, 2008 Good Helmet comes with self sticking pads to get a good fit to form the shape of your head. I just don't like how the straps sit once helmet is strapped to your head. The straps are curled just below your ear lobe. I much rather they sat flat against my cheek. That's why I give the helmet 3 stars. I am sure the "Skid-Lid" is great for crash protection. I hope I don't get to find out....
Great HelmetOctober 14, 2008 Great product, for affordable price. Nice and easy to fix to my head size. very good buy!!!
Great value, lightweight name brand helmet.October 1, 2008 Great bang for the buck helmet. With free shipping it was a great value. Better than buying a $16 helmet at walmart that doesn't fit or look good. It is lightweight and fits very snug. I have no complaints, but it does look like it would break on a hard impact and a new one would be needed. The silver color is great as well as the black. Probably would not fit big headed people, so fatheads you look elsewhere.
Giro Indicator Sport Bike HelmetSeptember 30, 2008 The helmet performs as expected although I haven't crashed on it yet to see if it really holds-up. The fit was easy to adjust and doesn't slide back and forth on my head. I use it for my motorized bike riding so I go a little faster than road bikes on average. I do seem to sweat a bit under it but it's warm right now in California.
