The stubby visor might be a nod towards off-road styling, but underneath the Fathom is effectively a road helmet – lightweight and well ventilated. The visor is removable if you fancy matching your mates out on a road ride, and although it wasn't adjustable as advertised, we also didn't find that it mattered, given its small size.
The Roc Loc adjustment system found on Giro's helmets
is durable, intuitive and above all comfortable, making proper fitting simple.
The antibacterial pads prolong the time before that sweaty lid starts to smell
too.
It's not cheap, but it is
comparable to other high-end helmets. If red isn't your thing there are four
other options.
Good looks and fit make a
great high-end helmet on road or off.
