5.0 out of 5 stars Totally saved my head!!, September 17, 2008
This review is from: Giro Xen Bike Helmet (Misc.)
This helmet is awesome! Fit is excellent if you pre-measure your head or try one on at the dealer. Nice style, coverage, and very good air-flow. I took a HUGE spill off my bike this past weekend.....a sweet superman over the bars and the first thing to hit the rocks was this helmet. I put a nice dent in the outside, cracked the helmet all the way through, but I got up and walked away with not even a headache. The helmet is finished, but my head is totally intact so I can ride another day. It did exactly what it was designed to do. Plus, if you break your helmet under normal use, Giro will kick you down 30% off of a new one. Not a bad deal when it saves your head!

5.0 out of 5 stars First impressions, February 13, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
The helmet is going to be used in a hot climate so ventilation is very important. The large air scoopes seem to offer good air flow and you can feel the air flowing though the helmet.

The helmet fit is excellent and the retaining mechanism work very well. I think once the temps warm up a headband will have to be used to wick away the sweat as it is a very snug fit at the front.

Construction seems good, although I hope not to put it to the test, and the adjustable visor is very useful for rides around sunset.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish, functional, affordable, July 14, 2007
This review is from: Giro Xen Bike Helmet (Misc.)
I own this helmet in the sage green. It's a great helmet that has a lot of ventilation and is very light. There's really not much else to say. I bought this from a brick and mortar store, so if you're worried about how it will fit/feel you may want to visit your local bike store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent helmet!, December 1, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Giro Remedy Bike Helmet (Sports)
I have a big head and the large fit me well. The helmet breaths very well, I was no hotter than when I just wore a standard helemt without the face shield. it is light and comfortable. Fortunately I've not needed the face shield yet, but I push myself a little more becuase I feel so protected. And the comfort is amazing. A must have for any serious mountain biker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I wanted., June 15, 2009
By 
This review is from: Giro Remedy Bike Helmet (Sports)
This helmet does exactly like any review says. It protects your head completely.

It was a little snug on my head at first but once I wore it a couple times it loosened just a little. It breathes realistically well for a full face helmet.

Some things I didn't expect:

It is much lighter then I would have expected, which is great. No reason for the carbon one honestly.

Also, I live in an area with lots of bug life. And you know when you hear that buzzzZzz right next to your ear and it scares the crap out of you cause you think its a bee. Well its even worse when riding a difficult trail, but thankfully this thing blocks your ears from that, another great thing I never expected.

Great product overall =]

Giro Athlon Mountain Bike Helmet (Medium, Matte Black/Charcoal)


Customer Rating :
Rating: 5.0

List Price : $135.00 Price : $121.50
Giro Athlon Mountain Bike Helmet (Medium, Matte Black/Charcoal)

Product Description

The Giro Athlon Mountain biking helmet crushes the racecourse with speed and style - and features the new Roc Loc 5 fit system. After more than ten years of refinement, this ground-breaking fit system provides an entirely unique use experience with an unmatched level of comfort, stability, adjustability and weight savings. With Roc Loc 5, you can easily dial-in both fit tension and adjust vertical position with a single hand. Just twist the dial for a tighter feel on tough terrain, then back it off a notch and relax across the flats or a warm climb. Even with these remarkable features, Roc Loc 5 is still 40-percent lighter than its popular predecessor, Roc Loc 4. Roc Loc 5 systems is: 1) Micro Dial. The heart of the Roc Loc 5 is this ratcheting, micro-adjusting dial. A simple, two-finger twist of the Micro Dial opens or closes the retention system and each click is audible. 2) Three-Position Vertical Fit - It's never been easier to change vertical positions and fine-tune fit. We incorporated a three-position bracket that features 15-millimeters of precise up/down movement. Like the Micro Dial, this system can be adjusted without removing the helmet. 3) Carefully crafted ergonomic arms are shaped to be as comfortable as possible, yet work flawlessly with Giro eyewear (what we call Super Fit engineering). 4) Dual Pods - These two panels are designed to firmly grasp the back of your head while comfortably cradling the occipital lobe. Strap management - with Roc Loc 5, your helmet straps are woven through the fit system, so they are always in the perfect position. Complex Internal Design - Dozens of small parts work together seamlessly to provide exceptionally user-friendly adjustment. Minimal and Light, yet Strong - Although this fit system is 40% lighter than its predecessor, it's much stronger. In testing, Roc Loc 5 performs flawlessly, even after 6,600 cycles (equivalent to 3 years of riding with 3 round trips per day).


  • Upper and lower in-molded hardbodies
  • 19 wind tunnel vents
  • Superior channeling for great air flow
  • Painted POV visor
  • Roc Loc 5 fit system

5.0 out of 5 stars Love It!, November 12, 2011
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
OK so pretty much all helmets are the same in my opinion when it comes to protecting your head. I like this helmet because it is very comfortable. This is my mountain biking helmet so it is heavier than a road helmet but still comfortable. The helmet is very cool and fits nicely. It is very secure feeling and several steps up from my Trek Vapor helmet. I have a Giro Prolite and Ionos helmet and Giro makes a quality helmet.

Bought this helmet after hearing good things about it from a frined. I have used it for 6 months without problems. Thankfully no crashes to test it out. I use it for both mountain and road biking. No issues with quality.
