Reviews over the

Giro Chronicle MIPS

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 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

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

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

Good

Pros & Cons

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!
