Giro ProLight Bicycle Helmet
The Giro ProLight cycling helmet is without a doubt the lightest bicycle helmet on the market today. In its size medium, the ProLight weighs only 195 grams. That is 100 to 150 grams lighter than every other top-of-the-line bike helmet offered by any other helmet manufacturer. Revolutionary in its design, the Giro Prolight bike racing helmet is also built with the Giro Roc Loc SL, a fit system unique to the Giro ProLight model itself. If you want, by far, the lightest road racing helmet available, then the Giro ProLight is the helmet for you.
The Giro ProLight cycling helmet offers:
- The lightest cycling helmet available anywhere – 195 grams in its medium size
- In-mold EPS interior shell fused to a thin polycarbonate outer shell
- 25 Windtunnel vents, an incredible number for a helmet this lightweight
- Fully optimized internal vent channels whereby wind entering your helmet is directed through a network of channels to better cool your head
- Roc Loc SL fit system, a minimalist, single-adjust, helmet retention system that is extremely comfortable
- X-Static inner liner that is antimicrobial and helps eliminates odor
- CPSC and CE EN1078 certification for bicycle helmets
Of course, the Giro ProLight bike helmet’s claim to fame is its incredible lightness. It is so light that it’s almost not governed by gravity.
Part of what makes the Giro ProLight cycling race helmet so light is its minimalist retention system, the Giro Roc Loc SL. This system is comprised of plastic outriggers and nylon and spandex webbing. The outriggers can be set into one of three positions, depending on the size of your head. What keeps this remarkable piece of head protection in place is the spandex strap in the rear of the retention system, which fully replaces the typical plastic dial system found on other helmets in this category. The Giro Roc Loc SL fit system is ingenious in its simplicity.
