Giro Phase helmet


THE PHASE punches well above its weight offering good value for money and looks good enough to create helmet envy out on the trails.

Giro's Acu Dial 2 retention system uses an indexed clicker wheel to let you get the fit just right, and while the straps are fiddly to set up, they offer a good amount of adjustment that should cover just about every head shape out there. The cradle at the rear can be adjusted vertically between three different points changing the pitch of the helmet and further helping you to get the fit you need.

Out on the trail, the Phase sits nicely on the head and the 27 vents deliver a steady flow of air, helping to avoid any unwanted heat build-up. The quality feel, removable peak and superb level of adjustment make the Phase a serious contender at a great price.

PRICE 100$
