Sculpted to Perform, Protect and Look Great at WHAT’S SUPER ABOUT SUPER FIT™? Giro’s proprietary, three-size Super Fit system can achieve a fit that works for 98% of the population, but feels like it was made specifically for you. The fit is based on data from human scale factors and nearly 20 years of crafting helmets for the best riders in the world. Giro is in a class by itself. Giro’s R & D is legendary, and the testing and rider feedback are unsurpassed. No helmet fits better or is safer. All of this and Giro helmets look like pieces of modern-art sculpture. Come by and try one on. It’s Your Head The most ventilated helmet Giro has ever created Giro’s obsession with performance yields results—Super Fit technology provides a near-custom fit, while inimitable Giro styling stands out in the pack. The Ionos sets the standard in terms of design and performance. Ionos $225 A snug, comfortable fit is one of the most important factors in choosing a new bicycle helmet. Every brand has a slightly different shape and feel. Road helmets tend to be lightest and most vented. Mountain helmets weigh slightly more but are more substantial, with visors and more coverage for the back of your head. Visors help deflect wind, rain, sun and even branches. They’re usually worn for mountain biking, but are also useful on the road. Retention systems on the backs of helmets improve stability while leaving room for ponytails or long hair. Vents with internal channels force fresh, cool air around your head and push hot air out of your helmet. Visit our shop to try different models for the best initial fit. We can help you choose the right helmet at the right price. Once you’ve chosen, keep in mind that your helmet straps must be adjusted properly in order to be comfortable and effective. 1. Yoke buckles should rest just below your ears. Too low and your helmet isn’t secure. 2. Front and rear yoke straps must be evenly taut to keep your helmet level and covering your forehead. 3. The chin strap is tight enough when, as you open your mouth wide, the helmet presses against the top of your head. • 21 massive vents join internal venting channe channels els for 15% more cool air than other helmets • In-mold Composite Sub Frame provides structure, support, impact dispersion and penetration resistance A Giro lid for the dirt Giro styling and protection make the Flak a must-have.
