Product Description:
The Giro Pneumo Road Bike Helmet is constructed with in-mold technology that fuses a tough outer microshell to the helmet’s EPS foam liner. The fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, making the helmet lighter, cooler and tougher. The Pneumo utilizes Giro’s Roc Loc 4 system, which includes adjustments for fit tensioning and helmet positioning, plus a supple rubber over-molded fit belt for both comfort and stability.
This Giro helmet features wind-tunnel ventilation that combines 19 active vents with internal exhaust channels that force cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing stale, warm air out. The Giro Pneumo also features a roll cage, and a P.O.V. (Point Of View) adjustable visor that is anchored by a patented internal clutch, which allows 15-degrees of vertical adjustment and prevents the visor from rattling and coming loose over rough terrain.
The Pneumo road helmet comes in three Super Fit sizes, which combine human scale factor data with handcrafted headforms and rider feedback for ultimate comfort. Giro’s Pneumo helmet is a lightweight 290 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s safety standards for bicycle helmets.

About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry’s toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too–in fact, pretty musch anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.
Customer Reviews
Worked well in a crash by John Ringwald
I like this helmet. I had a bad crash last June–went down hard and fast at 25 mph. The helmet broke in 4 places, distributed the force of the impact across the my skull, and protected me from more serious injury. I replaced it with another Pneumo.
It gives noticeably more ventilation than the Giro Eclipse, my previous helmet, and seems to have a somewhat lower profile. It is 38 grams heavier (about 10 percent) than the Eclipse due to foam that seems more dense.
Light, comfortable, and looks very cool by Jaewoo Kim
I don’t know how protective this helmet is since I have never been in a bicycle accident with this helmet (and hopefully never will =) ).
Since I have a rather large head, I didn’t want to wear a helmet that would make it look even larger. I had a cheap $30 bicycle helmet from Bell which made me look like a Braniac.
This helmet makes me look like some cool Japanese animation cyber robot hero. It fits me well and I look swell.
It is light and has plenty of ventiliation. It has a size adjuster inside which you can control so the helmet can fit perfectly with your head. It comes with a visor which provides extra sun protection for the face. Above all, it almost fits like a fashion piece rather than a dorky looking contraption.
I wear a size Large. So stay away from Extra Large unless you are a very big person with extra large head (if your head is bigger than mine then your head is gigantic). The medium size should be big enough for most people.
