Giro Vanquish MIPS Cycling Helmet - Men's

I've worn this helmet for 600 miles in the year since I bought it. It's good-looking, fits well and firmly, is comfortable, and the custom-fitted visor works well. The fitted visor is also good at fending off swarms of insects! Not all eyeglasses fit underneath it, but I have a wrap-around pair of prescription variable-tint polarized sunglasses that fit fairly well and work well optically. Possible areas for future improvement: (1) the visor is somewhat delicate and hard to store - too delicate, and the magnets too weak and too obliquely placed, to store upside down above your forehead as designed. A storage/travel box for the visor would be good. (2) this helmet has more air noise than most other helmets I've worn. Not horrible, but noticeable. (3) it costs too much.

This Giro helmet is great but it's being discontinued. It's a mips helmet, very comfortable and has a magnetic face shield. There are 4 different face shields you can get for it. Easy to adjust and the shield is reversible if you don't need it by flipping it over.

I like it so much I purchased two, white and blue, size Large. I wear transitions lenses eyeglasses. It is always a problem riding even with my Oakleys custom made prescription. With this helmet, the visor fits perfectly over my regular eyeglasses, rimless Silhouettes. I tried the helmets at a bike store but they only had black color, so I purchased them here. You need to fit the helmet to your head, and it sits a bit more forward than my Kasks that I was using. After I made the adjustments, first time out rode 50 miles and had absolutely no issues. Dirt and bugs out, clear viewing with the Vivid Zeiss visor, really good! The helmet is cool looking, fits great, protects my eyes, MIPS, not too pricey, it makes my long rides much more comfortable and I can wear my regular eyeglasses. Really good Giro, thank you!

I’m on my 3rd Giro helmet and I’m very happy with the performance of the helmets. The Vanquish is the only helmet I could find that had the magnet shield option which works great for me as I get headaches from the riding glasses.The main downside are the visors. Each visor is $65 and the packaging is non-existent. Even if you buy $30 Goodrs they come with a bag or something, but Giro sells these without any type of protection.I don’t recommend getting the helmet and the visor - buy visors separately so that you can return them.1. Giro would not replace the visor without returning the helmet2. The vanquish helmet is out of stock at Giro3. Visors in all color are out of stock at GiroYou need to go through distributors

I've been an avid cyclist for over 30 years. This has by far been my favorite helmet. I bought it back in 2018. It's been go-to helmet for the past 6 years. Since purchasing it I've ridden with it in temperatures ranging from 10º to >100º, and humidity ranging from 10% in Colorado to a miserable 90%+ in Minnesota and Maryland.After 6 years of riding with a visor I cannot ever go back to wearing sunglasses on power rides. The visor has the perfect amount of space to allow sweat to drip down without hitting the visor. Whereas with sunglasses, I used to have to take them off regularly during a ride when sweat would roll down on them.Winds in my area can range been 10-20 mph during the summer, hence the desire to purchase an aero helmet. My first ride with this helmet was on a day with 10-15 mp winds. About two miles into my ride it occurred to me there was a noticeable reduction in drag compared to my Giro Aeon. I reach about 40 mph at a full sprint on my favorite route. The visor does a great job and reducing the pull on the neck when down on the aerobars.During the Fall, Winter and Spring, the visor further helps protect the face - A LOT! I wear a thin balaclava in the winter. The airflow is just right for releasing heat without cooking the head during hard rides.For a $275 helmet, the designers should have put a little more effort into the appearance. I had a very hard time picking a color. I didn't like the black for safety reasons. I prefer helmets that provide something that helps vehicle drivers spot me on the road. The white was very plain. I settled for the white and spent a couple days airbrushing some metallic silver accents.

Product review: Loving this new helmet I got recently. I wear glasses and it fits perfect underneath the eye shield. In honesty for the price I paid I think Giro could have refined few details of the helmet for the price but overall great fit, light weight, comfortable and color looks great. I am loving the magnet attachments for the lens. For product itself I would give 4/5 stars for considering the price.Seller review: The product was delivered in time as promised and the seller actually kept me updated on what is happening. For the Seller I would give 6 out of 5 stars if I can. He went above and beyond on his customer service. I wanted actually delivered it earlier and he did not fail. I would definitely buy it again from this seller.

In general I thought this was a cool helmet, with decent aero. However, at high speed I turned my head and the visor flew off, or course getting scratched badly. While this didn’t happen again, you really can’t trust the magnet system, and it’s even worse if you want to have it hold the visor upside down/out of the way. Don’t recommend.

Although it took a bit to get used to removing and reattaching the magnetic visor while cycling for wiping away perspiration, that was a tiny hurdle and I love this helmet with integral visor! No sunglasses required although the visor can be removed and sunglasses used if so desired. Very light weight, easy to adjust the strap to the right tension needed, and good visibility with the white portion of the helmet. Possibly a tad pricey, but the visor bought alone is $70, so $230 for a quality helmet to protect one's head is a very fair price.
