Giro

Fixture Mips II Helmet

Good replacement, comfortable

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

Medium large

Bought this to replace an original model Fixture which saved my head in a crash. Couldn’t find the same exact model so bought the new fixture. It seems more comfortable of a fit and hopefully will protect my melon as well as the last one did.

Stay safe

My boyfriend and I like to bike. He has bikes for us both at his place. He also has helmets that we sometimes wear. A few weeks back when we went for a ride a asked for my helmet. On the ride I noticed how terrible the fit was. I then looked and realized 1/2 the straps were missing from the helmet. I am not a helmet zealot and rarely wear one but if i do have one one i would like it to be useful. So the next trip to ll bean i tried a few on and found the fixture in red fit well so i bought it. I took it too his house and wore it on the next ride nice fit and comfortable. I wear it pretty often now.

Good helmet

Perfectly fine helmet. Only issue is the dial to tighten the fit sits under the helmet a bit, making it difficult to adjust. My wife has the next level up of Giro and her helmet feels more comfortable.

Light and well vented

While i previously did not own a helmet my wife had a helmet that she would Periodically wear. Mostly she wore it when biking with her parents, who wear helmets. It was red and very plain with few vents was likely the first helmet ever made. I actually think it is older than she is, probably a hand me down a from a much older sibling who likely never wore it. Not only is it heavy, it has a white foam interior and an impossible to adjust buckle land looks pretty dated. When she wears it she does not have much to say good or bad. When we would ride just the two of us she almost never wears it. Occasionally when I would ride alone she would remind me that i was more than welcomed to wear her helmet. i did end up wearing it for some additional protection last fall when there were wet leaves. It was actually nice peace of mind however it was of poor fit and I was terrified that was the way all helmets fit and did not pursue getting one of my own. This past weekend i was going out on a long ride and my wife handed it too me saying “it will make me feel better”. So of course i wore it. I forgot it was on and did not duck low enough under a tree branch and hit it hard enough that it broke. when I returned home from a ride i told her i broke her helmet and suggested i would get her a new one. I found the fixture 2 in red in stock at ll bean and ordered it. I tried it on and was impressed with how it fit. My wife couldn’t believe how much better it was than the old. it is so well vented light and comfortable you she forgets she has it on. My wife is now asking when i will get my own. Any questions just ask my wife.
