Giro Pneumo helmets definitely get our vote for some of the best safety gear available to road cyclists this year. The new Giro Pneumo Road Helmet’s patented ROC LOC fit system includes a soft rubber fit belt to ensure that it will remain stabilized on your head throughout the course of your ride. We also love the contoured shape of the Pneumo, as it allows for the least amount of wind resistance possible, while looking pretty darn cool in the process.

Last year, a man in Seattle accidentally proved the effectiveness of Giro helmets by rising from a head-on delivery truck collision unscathed. Cyclist Ryan Lipscomb was quoted as saying “I didn’t see it coming, but I sure felt it roll over my head. It feels really strange to have a truck run over your head.” The crash flattened Lipscomb’s Giro helmet, but did no damage to his face or skull. Lipscomb was released from the hospital within three hours of the crash.

 If that story doesn’t prove the durability of Giro helmets, we don’t know what will. The excellent ventilation system and adjustable visor make this helmet the most comfortable option possible for the huge amount of protection that you get, and the three different sizes offered make the helmet available to riders of all sizes.
