Product Description
The Giro Indicator Sport Bike Helmet is constructed with in-mold technology that fuses a tough outer microshell to the helmet's EPS foam liner. The fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, making the helmet lighter, cooler and tougher. The Indicator utilizes Giro's Acu Dial system, which combines single-handed adjustment with a full-fit band for a quick, sure fit. This Giro helmet features a snap-fit visor, and 20 vents that allow cool, fresh air in and stale, warm air out. The Indicator sport helmet comes in Giro's Universal Fit Adult U size (54-61cm), carefully sculpted and size-specific to simplify the fitting process. Giro's Indicator helmet is a lightweight 285 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.

About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty musch anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

 Good fit, good protection. September 5, 2008
I bought this helmet for the fit and the price. Two weeks after I bought it, I took a flip over the handle bars of my mountain bike, and landed full force on the top of my head. Although my neck suffered a bit from the compression, the helmet did a great job of protecting my skull.
Since it is recommended to replace the helmet after a significant crash, I purchased the same model again.
The only drawback is the "mushroom" look, due to its width. However, in this price class you'll be hard pressed to find a better looking helmet.
Great product with a very minor flaw September 1, 2008
This is a great looking helmet (the pattern on the black helmet looks great! It sort of looks like a carbon fiber pattern.) and it really can fit just about anyone with the universal fit system that it uses. I use mine for mountain bike riding and it's excellent. The only flaw that I have found with this helmet is that the little self stick pads they give you (to personalize the helmet fit and comfort to your head) tend to fall off if you don't use the helmet for a few days, and you have to stick them back on. It's really not a big deal, but can be annoying at times. If it wasn't for this minor nuiscance, I would have rated it a full 5 stars. This helmet has plenty of vents and my head stays cool, even on those hot sunny days. Overall I'm really happy with this helmet, and also the price is great. I've seen bike helmets that cost 3,4, and even 5 times as much, and I don't see much of a difference between this Giro helmet and the super-expensinve ones. I highly recommend this bike helmet for anyone who is looking for a good looking, great fitting helmet for an excellent price! Giro hit the nail on the head with this one!
LId me August 2, 2008
Good helmet for down town runs and light riding near the house. Comfy and good fit.
 Nice helmet at a nice price. July 23, 2008
After buying my first road bike I realized I needed a helmet. My budget was $50 or less (at my wife's urging), and after looking at numerous models on line, I decided on the Indicator based on all of the positive reviews. I have to say I have not been disappointed. It fits well, feels comfortable and is very light. I think all bike helmets look dorky when worn but this one is not bad and I actually forget I have it on once I hit the road. The bottom line is it protects my head and for the price paid I feel I got a great deal. If you want a decent helmet that won't break the bank, give this one a try.
Great helmet July 21, 2008
I really like the look of this helmet because my old Bell helmet made me look like a dork. This helmet is light, highly affordable, streamlined, fits very well and is easily adjusted. I highly recommend this helmet to anyone who is looking to not have to take a second mortgage out just to buy a great helmet.
