      Comments about Giro Saros Bike Helmet:

      I really like the helmut, great fit with the dial adjustment on the back. It was comfortable enough that I forgot it was there when I was riding. Got knocked off the bike and hit the ground hard helmut first. Broke the helmut, but saved my skull and I walked away unharmed.
      Purchased another helmut just like it the next day.

          Comments about Giro Saros Bike Helmet:

          I splashed out for a new helmet after i received my dividend for last year. Previously i have been using helmets in the 40-75 dollar range. What a difference although it was double the price well worth it. Comfortable to wear very lightweight, you hardly notice wearing it except for the chin strap.

          Next step up is the over $200 pro helmets and this helmet easily compares to them, makes my rides more enjoyable lots of air vents and alot less sweat from up top.

            Nice helmet in the price range that makes sense for most people. I can't imagine paying $200 plus for the top of the line when this helmet is available.

              I have had this helmet for about 9 months and have had no complaints. Recently I put this helmet through the ultimate test when a pace line went sour. My head slammed into the pavement in dramatic high speed fashion. Because of the helmet I escaped without serious head trauma suffering only a mild head ache and broken helmet. Thanks Giro!
