Giro Fuse

By KP Ranked #455 - Helmets February 23, 2004

Awesome helmet with on the fly adjustment of vents and one piece removable helmet liner (skull cap) that is washable. I did NOT get the headphone option as the ear pieces looked a little flimsy IMHO. The headphones are built into the ear padding and there is an exposed connection :-( right at the ear padding where you plug in your headphone wires which then lead to your mp3 player or whatever. I would have favored a one piece design without the exposed connection. I suspect they put the connection there to make it somehow safer? Like if your headphone wire got caught on something it would simply disconnect right near the ear padding. Would like to hear from someone who actually had the headphone option to see how it functions.

Helmet is light and comfortable and does not look 'goofy big'. I had to cut the chin strap and shorten it but I also have a small head and face. Most other people will probably be OK with the chin straps.

Overall this is a 5/5 helmet.
