I can confirm. I shouldn't have a head right now. Thanks Giro for the fixture. Helmet cracked, head didn't. and I may or may not have so much faith in it that im still using it.
Good helmet. I can recommend it! Only thing which is missing is bug net in vents ( i had it in my old Uvex). Considering some DIY... Good review! Thanks!
I have one of these helmets, the visor seems to wobble more now than when i first bought it. I have never removed the visor, so the fittings can't be worn out. do you have any idea what this could be?
I'm on my 3rd Giro Fixture helmet now, its saved my head & life twice. The worst crash I had was when I was thrown over my bars and my head was slammed, at speed into a deer cattle grip. The right side of my temple was smashed against the steel bars of the cattle grid, If I had not been wearing my helmet I would have been dead, of that I'm certain, the helmet cracked and did its job. Considering the cost its a no-brainer (excuse the pun) PLUS I have a huge head & Giro do this model in XL, so its one of the few helmets that fits my oversized skull. I can wear a beanie under neith and have room for my sunglasses. I prefer a helmet that protects all of your head, including the back and the temple regions. Road helmets do not offer enough protection. Plus this helmet is a MIPS.
I got one and my head was too big for it. I normally wear an xl around 61-62 cm but this hits the corners of my head so if your head is in the larger side just be aware.
i have the same helmet but without the MIPS tech.got it last year. super light and was the best fit. and the price was great under a grand!! thanks for the vid
I'm curious why you have secret sounds in the background of this video. Is a marketing tool to concentrate the message in some points? Of course, the helmet is great. A little tricky to use a headlight with it.
Hi, could you help me with a sunglass model, that you wear at review? (When talking, not the biking one) I also have this helmet by the way, and I'm really happy with it. Mine is without MIPS
John Bruder we’ve not had our hands on the Radix but from what we can see online, the Radix looks similar in terms of its product positioning. It looks like it’s a lot more ventilated that the Fixture too. We will do our best to get our hands on one for a review soon.
@@romanordunez3095 there is a bike shop in my town, went there yesterday to get gloves for me and my sister and helmet for me, my mum and sister, it was 54.99 but very good price for protection, comfort and fit!
Hi! We don't do a lot of road riding ourselves. The helmet is comfortable and offers good protection and it is well ventilated. If that is what you're looking for it should be fine!
Bought one it arrived but I keep thinking that there is to much space between my head and the actual helmet (specially in the back), is it normal ? My head has 57 cm, the helmet is from 54 to 61. Maybe it's a bit to big for me.
The front straps are full of slack for me. I feel like a good headwind might flip it back off of my head. Otherwise I really like the fit and look. Not sure if I'm keeping it though.
is the piece big enough for a 60cm head ? the shell is 61cm ? i wonder if people with 54cm heads would feel weird because of the shell being this much bigger and having to adjust only the straps
Renato Queiroz it’s a one size fits all helmet but even that size curve will have its limitations. The best option is to try it on. The helmet is adjusted to fit via the boa at the back of the helmet and but just the straps.
@@WILDAIRSPORTS yes but I wonder if the shell is big enough to fit bigger heads. if it doesnt fit the shell would be attached to the top of the head because of the straps, and not really covering it, know what i mean ?
@@Renatomovement The helmet looks good and It's very cheap but I had to return it to the store because straps were too short or my head is to big. In my opinion the helmet is not big enough for bigger heads.
@@InTeR-ReTnI That's what I'm running into. Something about the placement and fit of the strap is off. The helmet itself fits great on my large head, especially with the dual system. I'm keeping mine because it's the only one that fits and that is in my price range.
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It a protection system designed to reduce the rotational force on your head and protect your brain as a result.
Unless one exclusively rides on the equator at midday, the visor is far too high to afford any realistic protection from the sun. Its lack of adjustability is shameful, and the reason why this is not a good helmet.
@@CommanderCrabapple this is not a comparison EP, this is a review of a specific item for a specific (South African) audience where context of the brand and its history is important for various reason. Perhaps we will look into doing a few comparative review EP in the future.
@@CommanderCrabapple oh and, no, not one review on our channel has been paid for by a brand.

This helmet saved me in a big way today, the helmet cracked, my head did not.

Awesome.
Hi. Who would you suggest to order from online in SA?
Me too. 😅

yay now you get to justify buying a newer nicer helmet and you can smash the old one with a hammer!!!!!
Good helmet. I can recommend it! Only thing which is missing is bug net in vents ( i had it in my old Uvex). Considering some DIY... Good review! Thanks!
Just ordered one... Thanks for the review.
Ordered one today. Thanks for solid review... and glasses fit is important for some of us, so thanks for including that.
Just subscribed :) Awesome to see fellow South Africans making a mountain biking channel
Cheers Mark! Welcome to the community!
thanks for the review i was just looking at this helmet
Glad we could help!
Cheap with a nice aggressive design. I'm about to buy this baby.
S3rj you won’t be disappointed👌
Just got it today! Rode a few miles and it’s way better than my non mips Bontager in terms of it fits very comfortably
Same
I just bought one online, can't wait!
Nice GD, you wont be disappointed!
Just bought one too .
I‘m so STOKED!!!

ur sooo underated!!!

Thanks for sharing!
The XL version is 61 to 65CM.
Dang it! BIG HEAD GANG lol
What's your favorite/recommended method(s) for attaching a GoPro camera to this helmet? Thanks!
We use a normal sticky mount on the top rear of the helmet.

From XC to let's See under a grand? Like $1000

Not sure what you're referring to there?
Subliminal messaging? They actually use that in marketing all the time.

Hello
@@bwh. hahahahah
I just ordered this today.
Awesome! Enjoy! Hopefully you don't need it too much🤣
Can't wait for mine to come in soon, ride safe and play hard!!
Got mine yesterday, fits perfectly
@@nathankemp3965 Did you ordered yours from the Giro website
@@romanordunez3095 there is a bike shop in my town, went there yesterday to get gloves for me and my sister and helmet for me, my mum and sister, it was 54.99 but very good price for protection, comfort and fit!
Cool video.
Had mine since last year and hundreds of miles. Great helmet, just wish the bill was a bit longer.
Glad to hear you've enjoyed it!
Can the pads come out for wash??
Whv5065 Halim yes they can🤟
Can I use it as a road helmet ?
For sure! It may not be as aerodynamic as most road helmets but the protection is adequate.
Which color do you have there?
The black Fixture.
Does it have a GoPro mount?
No.
But it's ridiculously easy to adhere or strap one of them to the helmet, as indicated by all the GoPro mounts I've seen on Amazon.
What kind of shorts do you use in the video?😃
William Rundquist those are the Fox Rangers👌
How is this for road riding?
Hi! We don't do a lot of road riding ourselves. The helmet is comfortable and offers good protection and it is well ventilated. If that is what you're looking for it should be fine!
Great review! Appreciate it.
Thanks for watching!
I just got this helmet and the visor seems to come off and on very easily. Is it supposed to be like this?
Yes it's designed that way so it will break away in a crash
I wish they made them in small size. I bought one and it fit but looked ginormous on my head.
@@maxmaxed2887 So this helmet at size universal was too small for you? Asking because of my 60cm-sized head.
@@maxmaxed2887 Thank you!
I’ve just got mine and came to this video for the exact same reason, looks absolutely huge but fits fine
This or the radix?
Just got one, its super light
Yes! Very much so!
Which one is better, this giro or the bell nomad.
Hi Diego,
We have not tested the Bell so we cannot comment.
Thank you for your question!
isnt this the same helmet as the cormick but with a visor?
They do seem to have a very similar shape. We're not sure if they are an identical shell though.
Bought one it arrived but I keep thinking that there is to much space between my head and the actual helmet (specially in the back), is it normal ? My head has 57 cm, the helmet is from 54 to 61. Maybe it's a bit to big for me.
That is how the fit works. Should be all good!
The front straps are full of slack for me. I feel like a good headwind might flip it back off of my head.
Otherwise I really like the fit and look. Not sure if I'm keeping it though.
Thanks for sharing!
You can adjust the slack from the panel behind the GIRO logo in the back yes?
My local bike shop is run by South Africans and it’s the best
Good to hear! Where are you based?

Namib ... or sa can’t tell...

just wanna let you know... you just sold me on this helmet, was this or a 50 dollar bell mips helmet and ya know what.... fuck bell!
More of an advertisement nothing negative only positive points ... can’t trust this sorry

Thanks for your contribution Ersatz. Visor length hasn't bothered us personally but that is good to note if it's an important factor for a buyer.
I was interested in a review, not third party advertising.
