A review of SWITCHBLADE MIPS HELMET by Bicycling
Giro Switchblade Convertible Helmet Review
Rating
4.1
The Giro Switchblade Helmet is reviewed as the best full face helmet that balances downhill safety and pedal-friendly lightweight design. Its chinbar is removable and easy to install, meeting downhill testing standards. It is admittedly stuffier than XC-style half-lid helmet, but manageable for all-day trail rides. Despite some shortcomings in the fit system for a $250 price point, it offers ample protection even without the chinbar. It is heavier but well-ventilated and provides a secure fit.
