Plastic rivets that hold MIPS in place put pressure on my temple even when the helmet is still loose on my head. Read more

I use it for road biking. It looks great. It is very comfortable. It fits well. What more is there? Since they say it is for "Dirt bikes", I think it is heftier and covers more of your head in the back. I found it to be one of the best helmets I have owned over my biking so far (I just crossed 100,000 miles of recorded rides). Read more

Fits great, looks good, and the visor is adjustable so it's great to wear with goggles. I like to pop mine off sometimes and they stay well on the helmet with the visor up without messing with my line of sight. Read more

Great helmet. Except the rear piece at the adjuster extends too low and scratches into my the back of my neck. Read more

Got this because my old basic one finally fell apart. This was a major upgrade since I've been going a little more crazy trails, but I really needed something that was cooler for me and my head. This definitely did the trick, super safe, fits nice, light, and very breathable so you stay cool. I have been very happy with it, and will actually wear a helmet instead of not now. Not brave enough to take gopro footage with it yet, but it does have the attachment! Read more

I’ve been using the Giro Montaro MIPS II for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The fit is fantastic—snug but comfortable, thanks to the adjustable Roc Loc 5 Air system, which allows for precise adjustments. The helmet feels very secure without being too tight, and the ventilation is excellent, keeping my head cool even on long rides. The MIPS technology gives me extra confidence, knowing I have added protection in case of a crash. The extended coverage at the back provides great support, especially for technical trails and downhill sections. Plus, the visor is adjustable and works well with goggles, making it super versatile for different riding conditions. Overall, this is a top-tier MTB helmet that balances comfort, safety, and style. Highly recommend it to any serious mountain biker! Read more

Crashed hard on my Hex so I thought I would replace it with the Montaro. I was told that the MIPS run a bit small and my head is right in the middle size for a Med or Large so I went with large. Way too big. Internal fit was ok but it came so far down on my forehead, it basically made it impossible to look ahead on the trail without lifting your head to a very uncomfortable position. Lifting the visor did not help. Returned it and got a Med. Med is the correct size for me but there is no padding in the rear of the helmet and it comes in direct contact with the back of my head, pressing on to points causing major discomfort. Sadly I have returned the Med Montaro also and have ordered a new Hex Side Note: The Hero camera mount is very poorly designed and I can't image it staying in place very long. Read more

I am very pleased with this helmet. I use it for normal road biking and it is just as light as my more expensive POC road cycling helmet and this one is more comfortable. I don't know why it is a designated as a "dirt cycling helmet" - that may turn away road riders. It has excellent air flow, although there are more breezy ones available. I have used this one in 100oF weather twice now, and it felt just fine. It has MIPS too, which has become more common now, but you still have to look for it and it costs more. There are convincing data that MIPS is the most protective technology you can get right now. And it is white. I am not sure what more you can ask for. Read more
