Changed from an old Bell Oasis to the Phase. I ride MTB in (mostly) and off road. In the process tried different models from other suppliers like Bell and up and down in Giro product line. Ended up with this helmet. Very solid feeling not like other low priced options in market and close enough to the more expensive ones. Please bear in mind that head measurement is an indicative of helmet size but heads some are more elongated than others. In spite of same meas. helmet fitting is a little tricky. Other helmets like Bell Venture caused some uncomfortable pressure on my head . This one gave a better fit. I do not like the road helmet + baseball cap underneath to protect my face from the sun. So having a visor is a plus, specially since I ride under rainy conditions frequently. Highly recommended product. I do ride 700+ miles per month.
Long term impression : after 1300 hours of use, fit is still very close to new so pads haven't collapsed which speak very loud about build quality. No damage in straps nor fitting mechanism. Definitely a very sound purchase !!!!! Appearance is as new, no yellowing ( got the white blue one) no gloss loss on shell finish nor discoloration in blue visor. As was my first impression and confirmed by time usage GREAT COST / PERFORMANCE/ FIT helmet.

I have had 3 Giro Phase helmets, and had two accidents where my head hit the ground at a decent speed and both times I walked away with no head injury although the helmet was clearly beyond saving. I give Giro a lot of credit for a well designed helmet and a great fit - highly recommended.

This is a pretty decent helmet from Giro, but the one I received was defective. The Acu Dial 2 fit mechanism would not stay tight. I'd read some similar complaints about this model, but figured I'd give it a try. I also tried it on in a local outdoor store and noticed that several of the same model Giro Phase helmets had the same problem where the Acu Dial 2 fit system would not hold the tightness setting and would come loose.
I must also note that the helmet I received from Amazon appeared to be a returned item, as the box was very worn and the packaging seemed like it had been unpacked and re-packed several times. I assume it was probably returned due to the defective Acu Dial 2 fit mechanism.
In the end, I called Giro directly and they gladly sent a replacement Acu Dial 2 strap to my home (received in about 4-5 days). I easily replaced it and now have a fully functional Giro Phase helmet. At the discounted price I got this for from Amazon, this was well worth the aggravation of contacting Giro for the replacement Acu Dial 2 strap.
Great price on a good helmet... which I bought to replace an older Giro Indicator helmet that may very well have saved my life a few weeks earlier when I took a nasty spill on the street.
I would recommend this helmet.
