Great helmet if it fits

I bought one of these from another online retailer last fall. Initially, I thought it fit great (my first helmet, so I had nothing to compare it to), but eventually I began to notice a little side-to-side movement at all times. There was also slight forward to back movement when I popped my front wheel up to clear logs. It was very comfortable, but the universal fit was just too large for me.
After a handful of rides, I opted to sell it and buy a Giro Havoc (size medium) instead. The fit is much better for me. However, if you fall within the 54-61mm size, this would probably be a great helmet for you. Personally, I should have spent more time at the local bike shops trying on all the helmets before I went ahead and ordered a universal fit online. I'd suggest you do the same, then save a few bucks and get it from Amazon.
Pretty good buy for the price

This is a great helmet! The dial fit allows you to tune it so that it fits snugly. Enough openings to keep my head well ventilated. Highly recommend it.
a good helmet

Helmet was excellent in many ways but claimed to be "one-size-fits-all". It was purchased as a gift for my Son, but it was too small and squeezed the sides of his head.
Solid purchase

I bought this helmet as a replacement for another Giro helmet that helped me out . . . big time. Though I can't say for sure how this one will hold up, if it works as well as its predecessor, I'll have no complaints.
I dig the AcuDial system as it allows me to quickly fine tune the helmet's fit. This is especially helpful when it's cold out and I'm looking for a little more space to wear something over my ears and under the helmet.
