Giro Savant helmet review

This new offering from helmet specialists Giro is placed towards the lower end of their road riding/triathlon spectrum of models, sharing many of the features of its more expensive counterparts, but at a price that won't break the bank. Like all Giro's designs, the Savant was immediately comfortable and light too, at just 238g.

To fit, the helmet uses the company's newest Roc Loc 5 dial ratchet system for easy adjustment while riding, even with gloves on. The 25 Wind Tunnel vents give a pro-look and a fair amount of airflow over the head, though the helmet's peak comes down a little too far, slightly obscuring the view while in an aero position.
