Giro Fixture II MIPS Mountain Bike Helmet for Men, Women, Kids, and Adults – Matte Ano Blue, Universal Youth (50-57cm)

Let me start off by saying that I've been roaming through various models of different brands, and snowballing through all the reviews ultimately choosing this brain bucket. And there's a few here that complain about the Virginia Tech 2 star safety rating. Let me say this, I see no discernable evidence to suggest that outside of an extreme discipline of riding, a helmet makes any difference in ones safety. On the contrary, there IS evidence that points to riders being more prone to risk taking with a helmet on rather than off. So the two star rating, outside of taking a rock to the head or flying over the handlebars at Mach Jesus is a moot point and this brain bucket will and does provide ample protection for 99.99999% of spills. Having said that, my 1 year old and I have recently started riding around The neighborhood and local bike paths on my daily rider with the little Thule Yepp shotgun seat. I have a rather stylish Giro Scamp for her enormous noggin so as any good parent should, I wear mine to set the example. On to the helmet. I have a long face with a big forehead, but the circumference of my dome measures at a whopping 55 1/2cm and every helmet I ever tried sits so high on my head leaving me looking like a proper dweeb. If I'm going to eat it, then I'll do so in style. I know it shouldn't matter, but alas, it do. The Giro Fixture 2 sits nice and low around my ears covering the back of my head entirely and the adjustment dial in the back provides a good range to make it snug, and comfortably I might add, it is super lightweight, remarkably comfortable (though a cushion for the chin strap would be a welcome addition), and it channels air through the vents efficiently keeping me and my receding hairline nearly sweat free. The clasps are easily adjusted and it boasts a lovely aerodynamic profile that on a solo ride, I forget that it's on, even after a few hours in. As far as shading goes, I wear sunglasses every single day ride, but it does help provide some coverage. Other reviewers have posted the damages sustained on a spill and I have confidence that In My commutes, what brain cells I have left are in good hands. In other words. This is a solid all arounder that's good enough for who it's for, and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Took a chance on this helmet during Black Friday, and bought it for my girlfriend. It's not an exact match, but she has a teal bike and I didn't want to get her a black, white, or pink helmet. We both just got bikes, and I assembled and tuned them while she was out of town; I wanted to surprise her with the bike being finished, some upgrades, and helmets so we could get riding right way. I wasn't sure if she'd like the color, but she loves it. In fact, she loves the helmet. She says it's light but feels high quality, and she feels safe and confident riding on the road while wearing it. She really likes the blue color, and how easy it is to dial in the fit. Plus, it's designed to work well and be comfortable with a ponytail, so she likes that as well. The chin strap is easy to adjust, and now that she has it set how she likes it she barely notices the helmet when it's on. I explained MIPS to her as I'm familiar because of motorcycle helmets, and she likes that safety feature a lot. Finally, she loves that it has a visor, and says it's placed perfectly to block out the sun but not affect visibility.

This is a fantastic helmet! I had a Thousands brand and it was so hot, had practically no venting. I immediately noticed how well air flows through the vents on this. Plus, being an avid urban e-bike rider, there’s no messing around, MIPS is a must! I have a huge head. 7 5/8 to 7 3/4 New Era fitted hats is what we’re dealing with. I tried on every helmet at the local sports stores and discount box store. Nothing fit. After doing some ChatGPT research, I was led to this brand and through some price filtering I settled on this specific Fixture II. The adhesive quality is great, everything is flawlessly smooth between the foam and cover. Great design too with the color and visor, which has great ease of use- use snap it on or off. On the inside, plenty of padding perfectly placed and the adjusting wheel feels like it has great precision. Super happy to find this brand and couldn’t be any better value for the money.

I took my new helmet out on a 13 mile bike ride and I am sold - it really was a great price, too! It is comfortable and lightweight. It allows air in to keep the head cool. I love the color too...a rich, berry pink! I was sized for an adult small helmet at REI and this universal youth size fits perfectly. It offers a lot of adjustment in fit, so someone in an adult medium should fit easily as well. Now to convince my husband that he should get one...the bright green? Haha

Fits my large head with room to spare. The straps are spaced wide enough that I don’t feel them near my ears. I’ve heard people complain about helmet straps that are irritating and these seem good. Being a budget helmet there’s not much padding inside so it might flatten quickly at the forehead area and be an issue later. But I’m happy with it so far.

I am writing this review only for people with very large heads, particularly if they are odd shaped like mine. My head measures 63.5 centimeters around. This helmet is adjustable up to 65 cm. That is certainly accurate. My head is weird, maybe yours is too, so I am here for those of us with long narrow noggins. I was born in 1961 with a prematurely fused skull, most babies are born with a "soft spot", which closes eventually after birth. I was born with an elongated head, shaped kind of like a submarine. (Yes I got teased in school). So this helmet will go on my head, but it is uncomfortably tight and does not "settle" on my head, because of its rigidity. It sits up way too high, I can place my thumbs up in the sides very easily. So I am going to give you measurements, front to back, and side to side, interior of course. It is 9" x 7" at the opening, and it slopes inward down to 8" in the first 2 inches of depth. Bottom line, if your head is shaped normally but just BIG, you'll probably be delighted with finding a helmet of this quality that fits you. If you have an odd shaped head like mine you may need to go somewhere that you can try on different helmets until you find one that works. I gave 5 stars because this is clearly very well made, just not a fit for me.

I have recently become serious again about bike riding. I had a Giro years ago that saved me after coming off my road bike at 30mph and landing on my shoulder and head on the road. i have a great deal of respect for a quality helmet, It has been almost 20 years since that fall and I miss riding and feeling like a kid - and staying in shape too , so I decided to get back onto a mountain bike and get back at it. Product change over the years, bikes, gear ect. some for the good and some not so good. I read many reviews and asked different folks about helmets. I decided on the Giro again, brand recognition is one reason, saving my head from a serious concussion is another. I received the helmet a day early, out of the box it fit perfect, and the neg reviews about the straps not adjusting properly is unfounded. Chin strap is adjustable, straps fall naturally around my ears and the adjustment knob on the back is good for more warm head gear during the winter rides. As a foot note - I am 68, I was in my first bike race in 1971. The only helmet available at that time was a Styrofoam plastic thing that was supposed to cushion the fall, things have come a long way in 50 years - Thank God I always keep a helmet on my head when riding and this one is easy to wear, I didn't really notice it after a few miles. Good design, very light and very cool (I bought the white)

This helmet has an adjustable knob and is meant for people with very big heads. I believe it is adjustable between 58-65 cm circumference around your head. It has MIPS which is very important safety wise, and it feels comfortable while also keeping some of the sun out of my eyes. Would highly recommend. Price is very fair in my opinion.

My son is 1 year and 8 months old and it fits him perfectly. He wears it almost without complaining

Super, sehr bequemer Helm. Das Gewicht ist gut (leicht). Der Helm sitzt super und bei jeder Fahrt dabei!
