This Giro helmet features a snap-fit visor, and 20 vents that allow cool, fresh air in and stale, warm air out.
The Skyla sport helmet comes in Giro’s Universal Fit Women UW size (50-57cm), carefully sculpted and size-specific to simplify the fitting process. Giro’s Skyla helmet is a lightweight 270 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 Review: Very nice helmet
Sized for women with a dial adjustment at the back to insure a perfect fit. So light weight you quickly forget you’re wearing it, cool and comfortable. Nice colors and designs available. The one design change I’d make is in the chin strap - the clip can painfully pinch your skin if the straps aren’t loose enough.
Customer Review: second helmet
I bought my first one about 2 years ago, and the piece that your head fits in broke recently. I liked it because it’s super light. I wear on average 2-4 times a week. I’m not sure if this piece of plastic breaking has to do with me and how I “treated it” or what. It’s actually very thin.
What is the lifespan of these things? It’d be nice to know. I’m buying another one, but frankly I’d rather buy something with a little more quality and lifespan. If such things exist. I’m willing to pay more as well and just don’t know if you get what you pay for or not. Inferior products are frustrating!
