Strengths: Price, looks goodWeaknesses: Tensioner did not hold up. Not enough ventilationBottom Line: I bought this helmet summer of 2009. Last week the tensioner on the back locked up and broke just before a ride. Prior to that it was pretty decent helmet. Not enough ventilation for Florida summers, but not a bad helmet for the price.
Favorite Ride: Openroad 220

$45.00

Strengths: Colorful, InexpensiveWeaknesses: Fit, WeightBottom Line: The Giro Transfer fits snug and securely. However, the helmet fits slightly tight, especially for my head.
Giro offers the Transfer in wide variety of colors. Therefore, I have one matching each bike. Giro also built a quality product.
The helmet has good air circulation and plenty of vents. I used the it year-round in a Mid-Atlantic state.
Favorite Ride: Along the shore

Strengths: After reading the reviews on Nashbar, including a couple of Giro Transfer helmetted riders who crashed, broke their Giro Transfer helmets, and survived, that was good enough for me. This helmet's vents keep me cool and I do sweat heavily. Helmet fit me almost perfectly right out of the box. Just a small chin strap adjustment. The racheting locking mechanism on the back snugs up the helmet just fine.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Bought the Giro Transfer on sale at Nashbar. Nice helmet. Only comparison was an older Rhode Gear kids helmet, and the Giro is a huge upgrade. Never have put on a $100+ helmet, and really don't know what they offer, but the idea is to save the head injury in a crash, which the reviewers on Nashbar attest to - and that's good enough for me. Highly recommend.
