Question Giro helmet for women - feedback needed

Hi there
Anyone knows which of the Giro helmet models fit female riders - cool designs n snug fit? the Venus model is kinda boring..personally i like the Havoc or Pnuemo.


thanks!

I don't really think women need their own specific helmet.

I have a pneumo and it fits just fine.

Hi

My wife (and myself) use a Giro Eclipse, feels like a aircon on your head. The Roc-loc system as well as fit pads included allows for a infinite number of adjustments to get the perfect fit. We bought end of run Eclipse. Exactly the same as the new model with a colour difference. Wish I could afford a Pneumo though. They are the best!!!!

Keep those wheels spinning!!!!

Hi all
Thanks for your input! I've zeroed down to Giro Havoc bcoz of it's design n price. Has any female riders worn this model?
My head measurement is 22" which is in btw size S and M. Should I get a size S for a snug fit or M for some breathing space n room to allow me to wear a bandanna underneath my helmet?
I'm prone to headaches so that mite be another factor for choosing a less snug fit..what do u think?

Thanks again!
