  • Fantastic choice for the space between a bike and a motorcycle.
I love this helmet! I got it specially for riding my road ebike because the thing is, a 17mph effort on a regular bike translates to 25mph of speed on an ebike. As a result, I find myself going much faster and for more extended periods of time on the ebike compared to my non-ebikes. With that in mind, I thought it would be wise to invest in a helmet that provides enhanced protection. I was drawn to the idea of a spherical helmet with a face guard, but I encountered two issues with such helmets. The first was the challenge of drinking while riding. It's quite tricky to position the bottle just right to take a drink, so spillage is a common occurrence. The second issue was the difficulty of spitting without hitting the face guard. This helmet addresses both of these concerns while affording me the added safety of a spherical design with a face guard. I particularly appreciate the detachable face guard as it can be completely removed during long and demanding mountain climbs to improve ventilation, and then easily snapped back into place for the descent and higher-speed flatland riding. To take a drink, all that's needed is to disengage the two lower hooks, allowing the face guard to swing up, enabling me to drink and spit with minimal interference (this can be accomplished while continuing to ride). Then, when it's time to descend, I simply pull the guard down, and it snaps back into place. It's fantastic! I often find myself climbing shorter hills with the guard partially disengaged like this because it's much more convenient than stopping to remove it completely. Additionally, the extra protection of the face guard is not as crucial during slower climbs. While it may not be the top choice for the hardcore downhill ripping crowd (although it does have CPSC, EN-1078, and ASTM-1952-DH certification), it's an excellent option for those who fall in the middle ground between cycling and motorcycling. ... show more

  • This is an amazing helmet. got it for Enduro riding
This is an amazing helmet. got it for Enduro riding. Perfect to go up hill and even better going down. Super easy to slide the jaw piece into the helmet. I would recommend it for any rider that likes pedaling uphill and going down fast.

  • It was nice to have a convertible full face and regular style helmet
The helmet is nice and It’s just as heavy like other full face Giro helmets we had. When the front part is removed it still weighs a little bit then normal but it does provide very adequate protection and vents. Seller being bicycle addiction I would have to rate them low. The box came a little bit beat up but the helmet was not even in its soft bag. The cover bag was stuffed in the corner and there are extra padding’s and stuff that usually are in the plastic bag with instructions were not in there. The pads velcro part were stuck on to the soft bag in the corner like it was just tossed in. So it looks like it was some kind of a demo display model maybe. It really wasn’t packed the way you would buy a brand new. They did not even check to see if it was all put together since the instruction bag was also not even sealed in the bag. There was no quality assurance when it was packed and shipped out. ... show more

  • Saved my skull, highly recommended
I have had this helmet for a few weeks and have some thoughts to share. I also just had a major crash in it, so here is my two part review: A) Unintentional Crash Test This helmet is serious business, and it saved me in my gnarliest fall ever. I had a spectacular moment of insufficient skill in Tahoe, literally two weeks after getting this helmet. I am not sure how fast I was going, but obviously it was too fast, a brief twitch on my front wheel, I got unlucky, hit a rock, and got crossed-up. I came over the bars so fast I didn't even have time to put up my hands, and was jack-hammered directly into the ground with the kind of bone crunching force that we all hope to avoid. I heard a crunch and a crack, and then I was rolling in the dirt, surprised that I was pretty much totally uninjured (other than some bumps and bruises). I cracked the helmet, but it did such a good job absorbing and distributing the blow that I didn't even get a headache. I will also note that I was wearing a neck brace, which definitely kept me from spraining my neck (or worse). If you are like me, and push your limits on your bike, you owe it to yourself to have a helmet that can save you when you find them. B) General Impressions This is a high quality helmet, it feels more solid than the Super 2R, like a proper DH helmet. It is a little warmer than a regular half-shell, but the extra protection it provides is great. The big feature for me is the removable chin guard, which works really well, and is in my estimation the best implementation of a removable guard helmet so far. I usually have to earn my turns, and biking uphill in a full face helmet is never really fun. I had a Super 2R for about a year, but the mechanism for removing the chin guard was cumbersome, and the chin guard itself was awkwardly sized and had to be strapped to a backpack to get it out of the way. With the Switchblade, I can pop off the chin guard in a few seconds, stick one end of it in the pocket of my shorts, and start riding up hill. It stays put in my shorts till I am ready to go down, then a few more seconds and I am good to go. It takes a little practice to get quick with putting it back in, and I definitely recommend checking your work, since it is possible to clip it back in wrong. I always try tugging up and down on the chin guard and feeling along the seam to make sure all the latches are in place and it won't pop loose. The fit is great, standard Giro, it comes with a two thicknesses for the cheek pads, and the lock dial in the back can be adjusted vertically to accommodate different head/neck shapes. The included visors are nice, the tiltable one is all I use, since I use a chin guard mount for my go-pro. It is so handy to be able to pop your googles up for climbs or when you want them out of the way. Its really nice to have goggles for descents instead of glasses. I really hope that more people start wearing these types of helmets, mountain biking is a dangerous sport, and this kind of helmet will do a much better job of protecting your head than those half-shells that most people are still wearing. If this helmet seems like a bit too much, the Super 2R is still a good choice, but if you are trying to progress your riding while getting exercise from the climbs, it doesn't get better than the Switchblade. ... show more
