Giro Aries Spherical MIPS Road Helmet

As a 25+ year user of Giro bike helmets, I recently purchased their newest model, reported to be the safest helmet yet. Having proved the value of a previous Giro helmet in an endo crash, I'm sticking with a proven brand. The great price available at Western Bike Works was the frosting on the cake. The helmet is comfortable, with nearly identical head feel other prior high end road helmets. Haven't tried it in winter weather, but there appears to be sufficient adjustment to accommodate a beanie or wind shield.

I owned several Giros and by far this is the best helmet Giro has made. Fit is just perfection and adjustments are effortlessly. Weight is nonexistent. Would love to see more options in the color scheme

GIRO ARIES SPHERICAL MIPS ROAD HELMET is an excellent choice for riders of any level of skills. It is comfortable, excellent ventilation and the retention strap are very easy to adjust and manage. It is a top choice for any cycling style and particularly efficient when hot weather conditions. This is a highly recommended cycling tool.

Comfortable fit, suspension strap easy to adjust, lightweight and ventilation is excellent. Well designed helmet!

Very comfortable fit, well ventilated, no sweat dripping onto my forehead and sun glasses. The helmet offers me all the aforementioned and a top safety rating.

This helmet is very comfortable and has a nice shape and color to it. And Giro is top quality when it comes to safety.

I recently purchased a matte black Giro bicycle helmet, and I'm absolutely thrilled with it! The sleek, minimalist design looks sharp and modern, making it a standout on the road. The fit is spot-on, with Giro's adjustable ROC LOC system providing a secure, comfortable feel without any pressure points, even on long rides. It's lightweight yet feels incredibly sturdy, offering peace of mind with its top-notch safety features. The ventilation is fantastic'plenty of airflow to keep me cool during intense rides. The matte finish is not only stylish, but also resists scratches and smudges. Whether you're a casual rider or a serious cyclist, this Giro helmet is a perfect blend of form, function, and safety. Highly recommend!

I currently cycle about 150 miles per week and I love this helmet. It's incredibly comfortable and airy and most of the time feels like I'm not wearing a helmet at all. I also have some peace of mind knowing (as of the writing of this review) the second best road helmet rating in the Virginia Tech helmet ratings.

I recently purchased the Giro Eclipse Spherical MIPS helmet to replace a Kask helmet. Though my Kask fit well, this helmet is much more confortable from both a fit perspective and airflow. I use it for both long road rides and commuting. This helmet is incredibly comfortable and lightweight. Initial adjustment was very easy and getting it dialed in was great. It is definitely the most comfortable helmet I have worn. I highly recommend this helmet!

I am very happy with my purchase. I've owned many different Giro helmets and this one stands out and looks great! Feels like a few free watts for sure! True to size and great air flow. I will use mainly for road and occasional mtb.

I bought it because of looks, light weight, and very well received by reviewers.

It is amazingly comfortable that doesn't even feel a helmet is on, so well vented, very effective in trapping sweat, overall a very satisfying purchase.

Initially back adjustment dial and the plastic frame was scratching the neck, which was disappointing. But the issue got resolved after adjusting the plastic frame to match the shape of my head and loosening up the dial a little.

Purchased this helmet as an alternative to the POCs I've been wearing the last few years. The looks are great, it is light, and the venting is wonderful. But in my opinion there is a serious flaw that you all need to be aware of if you're, um, a bit larger.

The MIPS straps in the back hang very low compared to other helmets and the plastic is very thin with rough edges. If you just try on the helmet you don't notice this. But if you, like me, are a bit thicker but still ride with a fairly aggressive position, those thin straps will dig into your neck right below the base of your skull even when the helmet isn't strapped in with any pressure. You turn your head and these things become little plastic knives. In my case, after my first ride, it was simply hot spots and what felt like a scrape. Yesterday, after trying to stretch these and sand them (they are so thin you really can't do the latter) a 90 minute ride with climbing, where my head position was really stretched to look up the hill, it was so bad that I ended up with scabs on the back on my neck from these things. Talking to Giro didn't help and they had no adjustment suggestions. So into the trash this goes. If you are a bit in the larger side where you might have a bit more skin back there, avoid this helmet. Which sucks to say because it is otherwise super comfortable just trying it on and looks great.

Helmet bought to replace a Giro Aether MIPS that has seen lots of service. Fit is consistent with previous Giro MIPS/Spherical helmets, size small for 5'1" female.

Helmet is very light and well-ventilated. Very comfortable on all length rides; don't even notice it is there. Have already had some days in the low 80s in Eastern NC with high humidity, and airflow has been excellent.

Also purchased the RocLoc 5 LED light. Light installs easily and is surprisingly quite visible from the rear and sides when standing. Have long hair which fits well through the back of the helmet, and when on the bike and stretched out even a small bit, the hair all but covers up the light. Have tried securing the ponytail more tightly, but it still largely obstructs the light. The concept is great and probably works well for riders who are more upright and/or with shorter hair, but may not be effectively visible otherwise.

I got this helmet because a I needed a new one and looking at the recent safety rating it ranked at the top. After a recent crash my helmet looked fine but then later I saw the foam was cracked inside!

The MIPS system conforms nicely to your head and it quite comfortable - more so than my old conventional Rudy. I still blunder around trying to get the buckle engaged but hopefully that will be sorted with practice. It doe looks quite bulbous on the head. For looks the Kask Aero would be my choice but "safety first"!

Yes, this isn't an inexpensive helmet and you can get some great helmets for around a hundred dollars but if you want one of the best this might be for you. As they say, don't skimp on contact points. Helmets, shorts, shoes, and gloves that aren't completely comfortable aren't worth it no matter the value. This helmet just fits me well. No hotspots and secures so well with the dial on the back that you feel like you don't even need to buckle the strap. What I also really like is the ball-and-socket MIPS system. It really is next-level as it works without having the plastic slides inside the helmet which makes other helmets feel hot and can feel weird with a shaved head. Despite the ball-and-socket design, this helmet has a very low overall profile. In other words... you don't look like a mushroom head. I also sweat a lot in the brow pad design is better than most at wicking the sweat to the sides.

Over all I am very happy with the helmet, but I am disappointed a stainless bolt wasn't used for the back-strap adjuster; mine is rusting and has stained the area around it.

This helmet fits my head much better than any of my previous helmets. Comfy and lightweight. Great glasses garage that holds my Roka's and Oakley's well. Nothing digs into my skin, and I don't even notice it on my head when i'm riding.

So far so good. It seems aero and has an excellent safety rating. Only word of caution is it fits a bit tighter than other Giro helmets I've had in the past. Also, the Giro helmet cage is a extremely fragile so never pack it in a suitcase without protection.
