When the plastic on my old Giro cracked, I went looking for a new one. [...], this helmet was a great deal and the fit is perfect.
Huge improvement over my old helmet.

It could provide more coverage/protection, like most bike helmets, this one still fits on top of your head more like a cap than a helmet.
Looks like a peach pit.

Fits perfectly, I tried on a couple of other brands and they all felt a little tight or they hurt my head. The ventilation system is awesome and it looks cool too.
By R.O.G. from WESTERN WASHINGTON on 08/12/2008 Pros: Convenient back-of-head adjustment, Durable, Good ventilation, Nice fit system/pads Describe Yourself: Competitive Cyclist Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: crashed in my old one- it saved the back of my head, and broke- just like it was designed to do. the downside is that the color of this one is not what i wanted-thanks to the manufacturer's "improvement process"?

By benbart from Fairbanks, AK on 07/23/2008 Pros: Good ventilation, Lightweight Cons: Interferes with sunglasse Best Uses: Mountain biking Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I miss the days when helmet manufacturers would offer 6 different sizes and have a separate mold for each size. The E2 comes in more different sizes than the worst offenders, so it has that going for it and it almost fits me as well as my older helmets. I think this helmet looks great, vents well and is light enough.
What peeves me about this helmet is that the retention system interferes with my Oakley M-Frame Pro and Oakley Wire sunglasses (yeah, I'm oldschool). If your sunglasses are the type that wrap down around your ear rather than straight back across your head, you probably won't have a problem. Also the back-of-the-head pieces are hard plastic and I may glue some neoprene to them to make them softer.
Pro quality helmet: lite/secure/breathes By VTSEAL from Northeastern PA on 07/22/2008 Pros: Convenient back-of-head adjustment, Good ventilation, Lightweight Best Uses: Mountain biking, Road cycling Describe Yourself: Competitive Cyclist Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The E2 is a fantastic, professional quality helmet - Giro's top of the line mountain helmet. Outstanding breathability, extremely light, and the best retention system out there. Comes w/ a host of extra pads to fine tune the fit.
Removeable visor, so it works equally well on the road. Definitley the most comfortable overall lightweight helmet I've worn. I bought this one to replace my old E2; have used an E2 for years on recreational rides and races. Have ridden numerous 24hr solo races and helmet remains comfortable. A lightweight helmet that doesn't roll forward is critical with a helmet mounted lighting system, and this fits the bill...
MEASURE YOUR HEAD TO GET THE RIGHT SIZE. You can adjust by moving the anchor points for the side snug straps (velcro anchor point); but you don't want a bucket that is way too big or small. Remember to measure with your 'do rag or headband if you wear one...
By B. from Basalt, CO on 06/09/2008 Pros: Comfortable Fit, Good Ventilation, Highly Adjustable, Lightweight Best Uses: All-Around, Long Rides, Mountain Biking, Warm Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great helmet. Fit is comfortable and secure. I ride a lot of single track and rough trails,and my gripe about most of the helmets I've used in the past is they are not secure enough on my head and tend to slide down on my forehead unless they were wrenched down uncomfortable tight. This one seems to stay put and still be comfortable. The light weight helps in this regard. It breathes like air conditioning. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because to me, the straps around my ears could lay flatter, but I feel that way about almost every helmet. Maybe it's my ears, maybe just a little more time in the helmet, but at this price, I would buy one while you can!
