Giro Venti Bike Helmet, White
I enthusiastically give the Giro Venti five stars!
I had a wreck on Tuesday, 11 May 2010. I had only started wearing it the day before. It is the only one I could find big enough for my head. I bought it for a police bike school I started on the 10th. My employer was too cheap to buy it, so I did. On Tuesday morning, I was following some other officers down a hill doing over 30 miles per hour. There were two speed bumps. I made it over the first one, then wrecked on the second. I do not recall the wreck. I ended up in the hospital over a week for my head injuries, but they were not covered by the helmet. What was, my right temple and the base of my skull, were not injured at all. The doctors told me that I would be lucky to be alive if I hadn’t had the helmet.
The reason I am glad I had it is because most helmets did not come down as far. I would have probably lost my right eye and had a good brain stem injury with a normal sized helmet. $40 seemed a little high when I paid it, but now I know that it could have cost me my life otherwise.
Something to think about if you have a big head.
My Score: 5 / 5 Stars
So yes, I have a big head and it’s not easy to find a helmet that just fits and makes me feel secure. I haven’t been on any long treks in warm/hot weather yet but I believe it’s vented as best as possible to keep my noggin cool.
My Score: 5 / 5 Stars
I’m so glad I found this helmet– my head is too big for most baseball caps, and I’m thrilled that I found something that fits.
My Score: 5 / 5 Stars
It’s so comfortable that I sometimes forget to take it off after getting off my bike. And, under the heat of the sun, it is cooler to wear than wearing nothing and probably cooler to wear than a baseball cap. I can’t say much about crash survivability … I hope that it never comes to that test. Meanwhile, I’m sure that wearing a helmet is safer than wearing no helmet. My Local Bike Shop recommended this for my larger than average size head.
My Score: 5 / 5 Stars
this helmet is great for the price, vented, lightweight, adjustable in size, perfect for my slightly larger than average cranium!
My Score: 5 / 5 Stars
