I enthusiastically give the Giro Venti five stars!
I had a wreck on Tuesday, 11 May 2010. I had only started wearing it the day before. It is the only one I could find big enough for my head. I bought it for a police bike school I started on the 10th. My employer was too cheap to buy it, so I did. On Tuesday morning, I was following some other officers down a hill doing over 30 miles per hour. There were two speed bumps. I made it over the first one, then wrecked on the second. I do not recall the wreck. I ended up in the hospital over a week for my head injuries, but they were not covered by the helmet. What was, my right temple and the base of my skull, were not injured at all. The doctors told me that I would be lucky to be alive if I hadn't had the helmet.
The reason I am glad I had it is because most helmets did not come down as far. I would have probably lost my right eye and had a good brain stem injury with a normal sized helmet. $40 seemed a little high when I paid it, but now I know that it could have cost me my life otherwise.
Something to think about if you have a big head.

I have a big head. your normal extra-larges usually don't fit and helmets of all types (football, motorcycle, hockey, etc.) have always been a problem for me. This helmet is actually big enough that I can wear a bandanna under it if I need to. Yes it has EXTRA room. So if you are a melon head too, this is the helmet for you. The adjustment system is smooth and easy. Slip it on, snug it up with the dial in back and take off. No numb forehead, or sore pressure points in the back like with more ill-fitting helmets. I may buy a couple more and put them away before they discontinue this model.

I have been spoiled by my Bern Macon skate-style helmet. The Bern is a snug fit for my head, and gets a bit warm, but it is a heck of a lot more comfortable that this helmet.
This purchase was based on looking for a larger-sized helmet, something that would be a big cooler in the summer, and it has a visor.
I am disappointed by the measly strips of padding included in the helmet. The glue holding the velcro is barely there. The paltry four small stick-on button pads do little to help with comfort. I am counting on a Headsweats CoolMax Shorty Bike Headband, White to help a bit. I would also expect that a plus-sized helmet would have longer chin straps. The straps don't appear to be able to lay flat due to the angles in which they run.
It's my fault for having a large, apparently oddly-shaped, head and not trying the helmet in person before making the purchase. Given those that need the size don't have much choice, you'd think Giro/Bell would take the opportunity to give us something more, even if priced a little higher. Aside from the size, I fail to see the premium and $20 difference between this helmet and my daughter's helmet, which meets the same safety standard and has more padding. The largely positive reviews had set my expectations a bit high.
