GiroAeon Helmet(Return to Product Page)

This helmet is so lightweight I don't even feel it on my head. Often while riding I have to touch my head to make sure I have it on and didn't forget to wear it. Not sure how it will fair in a crash it is so light weight but I hope to never find out. The only thing they could have done to improve this is unsnapping the fasteners takes applying some pressure. It could be made easier to unsnap the lock. I think over time this will become easier from simple usage. If you want to feel like you're riding without a helmet but with protection this item is a must buy. Trust the reviews on this site, most people give it 5 stars and that is what it deserves.

I initially saw another cyclist wearing this helmet at a Bike MS ride this summer. I thought this helmet color would work great with my carbon Bianchi bike. It matches close enough to give a good contrast with my bike. I actually found the Giro cycling gloves which matches this helmet locally that puts it all together. The professional styling of the helmet looks great and the fit is very good.

This is a great helmet for the hot, humid summer days we experience here in SE Virginia. It has excellent ventilation, it's light and the large size fits my 59cm head quite nicely. However, after three outings I've noticed an odd quirk - a strange, whistling or humming sound. I'm not sure what to call it. A wind tunnel effect? There is something about the configuration of the lower side openings that channels the moving air in such a way as to produce a sometimes annoying whistling sound. At other times it's a low moan, like a cold wind in the winter time on the beach. I haven't been able to tune it out yet. Perhaps over time I'll be able to, but for now it's a bit of a bother.

Exclusively road riding, it's warm here and my neck is ruined so having a super light helmet that's also very airy is great. Saving the 40 grams from my last helmet is definitely noticeable. Plus the on-sale price was unbelievable! I really like it!

I have been a big fan of Giro helmets over the years. I have three of these Aeon helmets and they are very light and well ventilated. Giro sizes are consistent and seem to always fit well. In addition, I had a recent crash that resulted in a shoulder fracture and a bump on my head. The helmet held up well and no injury to my head. Thank you Giro. Highly recommended.

I had this helmet about two months and today was riding and the locking mechanism just broke mid-ride. That was nerve-racking because I had to use the straps to tighten it to get home. I am unsure if it was just a bad helmet or poor design but have written customer service at BTD to see what can be done. Please note, this review isn't directed at BTD but rather at the helmet. Regardless, I won't be purchasing another one of these helmets and will go back to Specialized.

Like appearance, weight, fit and comfort, light weight, paint, value. Don't like nothing

Its the perfect helmet light and well ventilated. Highly recommended!

Light, well ventilated and comfortable, the look is too wide, a little mushroom-like. The cost is average for a helmet this light, good deal when on discount. Helmets are generally overpriced anyways.

I am replacing an Atmos helmet that I have had for years. The Atmos was a great helmet, but I recently broke it against a tree. It did its job very well. I was looking at Lazer helmets, but after seeing how the Giro held up and saved my head, I decided to stay with the same brand again.

I have heard some of the Roc Loc's have broken and they don't look as stout as my older series adjuster, but overall the fit and finish is great. I'll see how the adjuster holds up. So far I've used the helmet 18-20 times and have not had any issues. It has been plenty cold here this winter, and I can tell the ventilation of this helmet is going to rock this summer.

Good helmet very light also many vents . Really the right stuff for warm weather

I got the highlight yellow in large. I have a fairly large head and not all helmet brands will fit me. This one has enough room for a winter cap. Comfort and visibility are great. Ventilation seems good, but I haven't had any hot days to put it to the test. The adjustment dial is easy to use even with heavy winter gloves on. I got mine during a sale and it was much cheaper than competitors helmets, so it was an easy choice.

This helmet looks great; keeps you cool in warm weather, and adjusts really easily.

This is my second Aeon helmet. Nothing wrong with the first one. I actually love it this got another one to match my other kits.

It is super lightweight, fits me well and straps like a charm. I always forget I am wearing one.

It looks great too. Not the love it hate it helmet. Simply amazing.

Lightweight, best helmet I have ever owned.

Having owned many Giro helmets, I bought this without much hesitation mostly because it was so much lighter than the Atmos (which I also own). This is a very comfortable helmet and secures with one-hand. Compared to other helmets I have and currently own including the Atmos and a Specialized S-Works, the Aeon vents are smaller and don't allow the same volume of fresh air flow, in my opinion. If I lived in Seattle or Portland, this wouldn't be an issue, but in Texas last weekend, it was about 99 degrees in the shade and this helmet made me feel every degree.

It is still a great helmet, but the Specialized S-Works is as light and better ventilated - but more expensive and hard to find. I will wear my Aeon when it cools off!

Extremely light, good fit, beyond excellent helmet!

This helmet is super light, very comfortable and flows more air than any I've owned in the past.

Fit on this seems to be better than older GIRO models as I've always had a Bell helmet shaped head.

The new retension system used is easy to use and keeps it in place without being uncomfortable.

Great helmet

Will always buy Giro helmets. This was a replacement for one I crashed in. There is a spot in the back for a light to be secured (zip-tie). I got the bright orange helmet. Great for visibility.

The locking system is great, fit is perfect.

The latest retention/adjustment apparatus is a nice upgrade. The new straps are smoother against the skin. The ventilation is definitely a noticeable improvement with this design. Take it from someone who has broken a Giro helmet in 5 places while doing a header at 22mph...buy the best helmet available...save money somewhere else. This is a great helmet. And, it's available in bright orange...be seen.
