Review by AnonymousA great looking helmet that is well made providing comfort and safety.by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastSummit , NJI use this helmet riding a road bike. I usually bike 40 miles a day five days a week. I like its style and look. It's very comfortable. Provides enough airflow to keep your head cool. Definitely a solid piece of equipment with safety in mind. I don't have a criticism of this helmet. If it looks good. Well made. Comfortable. Engineered for safety what's not to like.

Review by AnonymousPad fail! by AnonymousFLA6 of 8 customers found this review helpful.Probably be my last Giro helmet. Pads failed after just a couple of months and Giro had been unresponsive with replacements. I like the helmet and the style, but is it too much to ask for helmet pads that don't fall apart almost immediately? I know you guys can do better and make pads that can take some mileage and God forbid, a machine washing. Makes an otherwise nice piece of kit seem second-rate. Also if you are on the fence about sizing, go up. The upper limit on the medium is optimistic.

Review by gordonnice helmetby gordonCycling EnthusiastModesto, CA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I bought a medium size and it fits my head perfectly; much better than a one-size-fits-all helmet. Used exclusively for road biking. It could be improved if it had screening to keep bees from entering the vents.

Review by zbassdudeNew and Safeby zbassdudeDaily CommuterPortland, ORLove the fit of Giro, works great for my big head. MIPS is extra reassurance that I have one more line of defense if I were to ever crash.

Review by AnonymousIts become my helmet of choiceby AnonymousCompetitive Racerutah4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.I needed a quick replacement a few years ago and Agilis was on sale. I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and weight and bough another the following year. This was my fourth Agilis and I am just as happy as with the first. Its an incredible value, good on weight and ventilation and Giro quality is (in my opinion) excellent!

Review by MatthewExcellent MIPs Helmet: Incredible Priceby MatthewCycling EnthusiastSouthern California, CAI needed an extra helmet in "white" and the Giro Agilis has proven to be exactly as comfortable and well-fitting as my other top-of-the-line Giro helmet. I can't recommend this helmet enough if this is the price point you are looking at. You could probably do a blind test, and I wouldn't be able to tell which helmet I was wearing.

Review by JimIt's SO good looking!by JimCycling EnthusiastRhode Island2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Wanting to upgrade to a MIPS helmet. I was immediately drawn to the styling of the Giro Agilis Matt Portaro Grey/White/Red model. For me, the shape of the helmet and the subtle graphics break up the embarrassing "bulb-head Dork" look of most ventilated helmets.
The more I use it, the more I love it. The thin foam cushions and the ratchet adjusting dial make it very comfortable. For sizing, I found that their instructions (based on head circumference) worked for my tall skinny head. One word of caution about chin strap length: I'm perfect, but I had to adjust the strap out to its very end limit. Some other "tall heads" might find that the strap is not long enough for them.

Review by AnonymousMost comfortable helmet I've ownedby AnonymousCycling EnthusiastNorthern Virginia5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.I am an ex-roadie, but now I'm primarily a commuter (pre-Covid) and sometimes roadie. This is by far the best fitting, most comfortable helmet I've owned or tried on. I have not had a chance to wear it in hot weather, so I can't speak to the airflow, but it looks like it would be good.
It's going to be on the heavy side if you're counting grams, but I've worn it on fairly long rides (2+ hours) and forgot it was there.
This is my first MIPS helmet. Thankfully, I have not tested it's crash worthiness.
The only reason I didn't give it an Overall rating of 5 is principle - I don't think I've ever rated any product a perfect 5. However, in terms of Value, a definite 5.

Review by Ranger DanA well designed helmetby Ranger DanCycling EnthusiastIndiana1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Giro has many styles of one size fits all helmets. This one is size specific and fits very comfortably. It has great webbing around the top and snugs for a comfortable fit. The back comes down to the base of the skull and around the ears. MIPS is always a benefit. There is plenty of ventilation and is an overall great helmet.

Review by RenaudGreat MIPs helmet from a reliable manufacturer at affordable price by RenaudFlorida Comfortable fit. It sits a little lower on the forehead than my Rudy Project helmet, but tightens up snugly so doesn't bang against sunglasses. Great price for MIPs technology. This model has several color choices to match your kit. Wish it had a bug shield, but otherwise I'm very happy with it.

Review by CincyCyclistComfortable, high visibility helmet for a good price.by CincyCyclistCycling EnthusiastCincinnati, OhioThe real proof of a helmet comes in its ability to protect in a crash, and (thankfully) I haven't had to test the Giro in this regard. I like the high visibility of the yellow-green color. The internal suspension makes the helmet very comfortable, and easy to adjust for those days when you need to wear a hat.

Review by AnonymousLove This Helmet!by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastPhoenix, AZThe sizing is perfect for as a narrower fit seems to work well for me. I bought the Neon color and boy is it nice and bright, exactly what I was looking for. It has the roller adjustment in the back and that provides plenty of adjustment.
I have worn Bell Z20 helmets for a few years and find this one to be both comfortable and lightweight, AND it has MIPS - all at a bargain price. Not missing my Bell a bit. It looks good too!

Review by MBExceeded my expectations!by MBCycling EnthusiastIdaho2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Fits me very well and is actually comfortable. It feels like it's part of me rather than some alien thing sitting on my head. Chucked my older generation helmet in the recycle bin, Agilis was a huge improvement. Purchased a size Med. and fit my hat size 7 3/8 or 59mm head with a little room for proper adjustment and still room for a thin skull cap when it's cool.

Review by AnonymousGood value for moneyby AnonymousDaily CommuterHouston, TX3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.I'll start with the only disappointment - the chin clasp. Smaller, narrower, than previous clasps on Giro helmets I've owned. With gloves difficult to unclasp The positives: The "large size" fits my 7 5/8 head, with cycling cap, quite comfortably; good value ($$) for a MIPS helmet; plenty of ventilation; the matte white color looks good and ample locations to attach a helmet light. I'm quite pleased with helmet. I recommend.
