You only know if a helmet is good if you crash in it and survive - I did! I went down really hard (fractured thumb, cracked and bruised ribs, bad case of road rash and an emergency room visit) but I was conscious and in total control of my faculties the whole time because of the helmet. I cracked in two places but held together incredibly well. I'll never buy anoter brand or helmet. I am now a "confirmed" Ghisallo fan...maybe it was the saint herself (Ghisallo is the patron saint of cyclists) who looked down on me with favor....BUY IT!!!

I got this helmet at the end of the season 2 years ago. At the full price I would have balked. I liked the fit system, good for a triathlete to make an adjustment on the fly. It is light, with lots of venting, and a comfortable fit.
It is pretty durable. I will keep this until I break it.

Catch this thing on sale for $50 at the end of the season and its a STEAL. Pay the full $100+ and its not so much the bargain, seeing as around $125 get you a much nicer helmet.

Overall this is a great helmet. Rarely do i have sweat make it past the coolmaz pads and into my eyes. Theres anough air ciculation to keep my lid cool even in FL summers. And it doesnt make you look like a mushroom head. While the Giro Atmos may be a little more low profile, you pay a lot for it.

I'd buy it again, hands down.
