Fine lightweight helmet
I have worn many brands of helmets, this one is the best in terms of fit. I have a narrow and pointed head, so other helmets always clamped on my forehead. This helmet does not. The helmet is remarkably light, really a feather! Helmet also ventilates very well, you really feel the air over your head. It's even a bit chilly in colder weather! Only the straps, because you can't adjust them, are a bit weird for me when standing upright. In cycling position, they don't bother me. You can adjust the straps a bit forwards or backwards. I only miss a helmet bag or pocket, which is standard with a Kask, for example.

Very good helmet for warmer days, well worth its money!
The Abus Airbreaker is a very pleasant helmet for cycling. The helmet is very light and has a good fit so you hardly feel it while cycling. In hot weather, the extra ventilation holes are also very pleasant to keep the head a bit cooler. Finally, I also think the helmet looks very nice (you don't have a mushroom head like with other helmets). So all in all, a top helmet that is definitely worth its money!

Best and finest helmet
This is the best & finest helmet I have ever owned. I use it with road biking & mountain biking in summer & winter. Lightweight, fits nicely (my head doesn't mushroom) and does its job. I broke my previous one and immediately ordered the same one again. Not a moment's hesitation.

Great looking helmet.
My other helmet is a Kask Protone and I’d say that this is on par with that for safety, style and air flow. I love the flip flop colour which changes between blue and purple depending on the viewing angle. Would def recommend.

I had never used a helmet thinking about the uncomfortableness but I had to try this one to change my mind.

Great fit. Great ventilation. Great looks. Recommended
Apart from a certain bright purple Specialized (I think) helmet that resembled a bunch of bananas back in the 90’s I’ve only ever had Giro helmets. For me, Giro helmets were the perfect blend of form, function and most importantly, fit. Having a fairly large noggin I found that a lot of brands came up short in one or two areas so was reluctant to change. After reading a review or two regarding the fit being similar to that of the Giro (ie more oval than round) I took a gamble and ordered the Abus Airbreaker. Luckily for me Mantel had it on offer which meant I could get it shipped to the UK under the threshold imposed after the brexit catastrophe. Within a few days the helmet arrived and thankfully the fit was spot on. The adjustability is great meaning a perfect fit could be obtained. This helmet is also light. You can easily forget you’re wearing it after a few minutes. It is also really well ventilated - probably the airiest helmet I’ve ever worn - a few rides in the current UK autumnal weather had me reaching for a headband as the windchill was noticeable. Should be an excellent lid for the summer! Overall I’m impressed and would recommend this helmet. Some would argue that the lack of MIPS or similar is a deal breaker but I prefer the more stable fit of a non-MIPS helmet and the optimal ventilation as the result of having no liner to block the airflow

Great ventilation, lightweight, looks and feels good
I bought the Abus Airbreaker Small as it’s a good fit for my head. Other brands size small are too snug.

Top helmet
The helmet is light so you don't feel you have a helmet on. The ventilation holes provide sufficient refreshment. Despite the price, very satisfied with this helmet.

It is more than what I expected, in my opinion there is nothing negative about it.

Top helmet!!!
The perfect helmet for my small head. Fits nicely and doesn't look big, which most 'small-size helmets' do. So light that you almost don't mind wearing a helmet. And airy! That's perhaps the biggest plus! Ready for summer!

Super lightweight
This is a very lightweight helmet with a lot of ventilation. I'm riding in a hot country so it helps a lot to keep my head cool during rides. This is the lightest helmet I have by far. On the label, for size M (52-58 cm head circumference) it says the weight is 220g. On my kitchen scale however, it's 197g. While riding I feel like I'm not wearing any helmet at all. It's that light! I'm very happy with this helmet and I can see myself using this for a long time. The only downside is the price, quite hefty for a helmet without MIPS. I guess the absence of MIPS is what keeping it light Oh, another thing, it looks pretty sharp! That is important too :D

Small, light and fast
A great helmet from Abus l have a large head ( I’m a bighead ) and the large size fits perfectly.I like the fact that it does not look big on, not a mushroom. The only thing I have found is the padding is very thin, other than that it’s great, it’s cool great airflow,it’s light very and looks good even in white,great product.

Great weight & Airflow
Replacement for my Giro IONOS helmet, Better Airflow & considerably lighter, Unfortunately the small retaining clip that holds the internal pads fell of & now the padding isn't secure?? but it is a easily replaceable clip.. Apart from the clip issue, I would highly recommend this Helmet especially from Mantel.com with its unmatchable price Weight: 5 Stars Comfort: 5 Stars Looks: 5 Stars Cooling: 5 Stars Durability: 4.5 Stars

Perfect !
Love this helmet. I have an Abus Gamechanger also and much prefer them to Kask which I had before. The Airbreaker is light and airy and you don’t know you are wearing it.
