Product Description
The Giro Encinal 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 Encinal 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 21 vents that allow cool, fresh air in and stale, warm air out. The Encinal 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 Encinal helmet is a lightweight 270 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.

 Great helmet if it fits July 31, 2008
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 June 22, 2008
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 June 11, 2008
light and fits well. the only issue is the straps for the chin that may be hard to adjust
 llllllllHelmet review January 7, 2008

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 January 4, 2008
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.
