Solid bit of kit

- Louie, 19 July, 2020

Works well fits well and is just a solid build

Pros & Cons

Fits well
I was inbertween the sizes so had to experiment

4 / 5

Typical Giro quality and MIPS for this price is a no-brainer.

- Leon, 27 April, 2020

Cheap and solid quality, so you can't go wrong. The fit runs true to my usual sizing and there is an amount of adjustability to fit perfectly for your head. The strap is what it is, personally I like a slight lightly thicker one or a leather chin strap like POC provide, but after a few rides clocking over 2 hrs each, it does not hinder at all. My only criticism is that it does warm the noggin more than others, but not enough to be put off.

Pros & Cons

Great lid, comfy and supportive

- Chris, 25 April, 2020

Fantastic lid, best fit of any enduro lid. The mips system is very comfortable, and I really like how far down the back of the head this lid protects. No other lid other than a full face covers the back of the skull as much as this does. Other lids I've tried felt exposed around the back of the skull. My only flaw I have with this lid is no gopro mount or flat enough on top to fit one. I've adapted a helmet light that uses a gopro mount, hence the 9/10 or it would of been 10. Colour choices are not to bad, toyed between the red or black but went with black as it goes with anything

Pros & Cons

Back head protection
Comfy
Lightweight
Mips
No gopro mount or flat enough for 1

Love it, light, sturdy, looks great

- Ben, 17 April, 2020

For the money I don’t think I could ask for more. MIPS system, great fit, so light you forget you’re wearing it, adjustable visor and looks great. Yes it’s big and bulky but that just gives me confidence that if I come flying off it’s going to hit the ground before my face does.

Pros & Cons

Adjustable visor
Comfortable
Lightweight
MIPS

Great helmet with fantastic style.

- Toby, 11 October, 2019

Amazingly comfortable helmet which fits my big head better than any other before. It does look very stylish at the same time and in the moment you may forget it once you’d miss it immediately. Super Safe feeling in particular.

4 / 5

Great helmet!

- Paul, 19 September, 2019

Great helmet, comfy and looks the biz! Not quite as comfy as the 2016 model though (which I already have) as there is slight difference in the back of the retaining system, which can give me a sore spot over time. Apart from that though, its spot on!

Pros & Cons

Comfortable
Looks great!
Not as comfy as older 2016 model

5 / 5

Great looking helmet with added MIPS.

- Jonathan, 4 July, 2019

Bought this as a replacement for a brilliant Bluegrass Goldeneyes. Would have bought another but the price had gone up and saw the Chronicle with MIPS. Giro helmets have a great reputation and this helmet certainly offers great protection, great fit, light weight and added protection from the MIPS system. The fact it had solid reviews in the press and was on offer £60 I went for it. Not regretted it. I would say that the fit is not quite as good as the bluegraa on my head but it is marginal. The polystyrene is exposed around the base so could be damaged but normal at this price point. I have also found the straps to be a little thin and can buzz in my ear. Overall very happy to recommend.

Pros & Cons

Good fit and no mushroom look
Lightweight
MIPS
Peak allows for goggles
Exposed edges can be damaged
Not quite perfect fit for my head
Straps are not the best quality

5 / 5

Great helmet that looks the part as well.

- Brian, 15 June, 2019

Had a Fox Flux & wanted a change, the Chronicle is a much better fit with greater cover & look a lot better also, really happy with my purchase & at such a great price, will definitely be using Mantel again in the future.

4 / 5

Comfortable with good coverage.

- Graeme, 8 June, 2019

Initial impressions are that it's comfortable, has good coverage and feels solid. Not too heavy and decent ventilation. Adjustable peak is a plus. I have no idea if MIPS is worthwhile or just marketing blarney, but I got this at the same price as a non-MIPS helmet.

Pros & Cons

Comfortable
Good coverage
Ventilation
Chin strap fiddly to set up, but that's normal

5 / 5

Great piece of kit

- Lee, 8 September, 2018

Absolute comfort and security is all I can say. Topped off with a good deal from mantel 2hich was over 40 quid cheaper than my lbs (I like to support them but......)

Doesn't actually make me a better rider :-/

5 / 5

Amazing and comfortable helmet

- Reginald, 31 July, 2018

I am so happy I purchased this helmet. It is really comfortable and the air vents work brilliantly. Mantel's price was the best out of all the very many websites I looked at. Helmet was delivered extremely quickly. Mantel gave a tracking number so I knew exactly when I will be receiving the helmet. Fantastic customer service. Definitely ordering from Mantel again.

- Andrew, 29 March, 2018

I ordered the giro chronicle mips to replace my fox flux helmet, I felt I needed a bit more protection to the back. The helmet is lite and well ventilated

Pros & Cons

Mips

Ventilates well
None

4 / 5

Good protection, great style

- Nick, 18 February, 2018

Looks good and fit is nice. Only problem is with the helmet covering more of the back of your head wearing glasses can be a bit uncomfortable. But guess that is the price of safety!

Pros & Cons

Comfortable
Good safety features
Nice design
Not great with glasses

Fantastic helmet

- Nick, 21 November, 2016

Fits like a glove, plenty of air flow through the helmet I wore a Burton skull cap under the helmet and it was perfect. The peak is great for keeping the sun out of your eyes to

Pros & Cons

Nothing in my opinion
