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.
Good HelmetDecember 1, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The helmet is comfortable. I kind of forget I even have it on while I'm riding. It is affordable and good-looking. And it provides ample protection. The helmet is easy to use and easy to adjust, if necessary. Overall, it is a very good helmet.

I picked this helmet for a couple reasons - style and price. I think it's a great helmet for the price. Not 100% sure it does the job since I haven't crashed yet; but I suppose ideally, I'll never find out just how much protection this helmet gives me. My only complaint is the "one size fits all" sizing. It does technically fit; but I'm a small female and this helmet looks gigantic on my head. I suppose if I had wanted to pay more, I could have had a custom-fit helmet; so overall, I'm happy with the product.

I bought this helmet so I could ride on the street to train as well as to wear in my first triathalon. it fits well, especially after you use the extra pads it comes with to customize it. it is light, looks good, and stays wear I strap it on my skull. the straps coming down past your ears are the only part that was a bit annoying, but after one ride I never noticed it again. a great helmet, at a great price
Great HelmetAugust 1, 2008 Fits well, easy and quick adjustment. Feels lightweight and doesn't get too hot when you're out in the sun. I'm assuming it protects my head, but I haven't tested that yet...
great helmet for an excellent priceJuly 31, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was pleasantly surprised with this helmet considering it was $30.00. Its lightweight, breathes well and fits like a glove (love the head harness system). I initially purchased it because I am a female with a small build (and a small head) and the reviews stated that the helmet ran a bit on the smaller side. Its really lightweight, could be a pro or a con. That being said it seems durable, although hopefully I will never have a real test of that.
Pro: *Cost *Good Air flow *Fits well * Looks cool
Cons: * Could use a sun shade * adjustment knob is a little hard to turn, but you shouldn't have to adjust it that ofter.
