    Thanks for the review. A visual side by side comparison is always good to see to gauge the width and height.

    I’m a fan of the Aries- it’s a good looking, modern helmet!

    I've been using the Giro Eclipse (Matte white/silver) for one year, and it's been perfect. My shades stow easily and securely in front, so I think any issues people have stowing shades in this helmet are likely down to some combination of helmet size and the size and design of their shades. Prior to the Eclipse, I wore a Bell Z20, which had amazing ventilation. I think my Eclipse ventilates just as well. Sure, it suffers a bit on long climbs, but it also reduces heat from direct solar irradiance. In other words, I don't get as much heat from the sunlight beating down on my shaven pate as other helmets given the smaller vented area. My only grip is that Giro didn't offer the Eclipse in the "Ghost" colorway of my Bell Z20. The silver in that colorway had a reflective component, and that's a nice safety bonus when out on the roads in low light.

    Nice review and comparison. I had Giro helmet for years and liked the way it looked and fit. I tried a few others as well like Uvex and Kali. My older Giro was not of the upper tier so maybe not fair comparison. But of the three I like my Kali In the summer months when the venting airflow is important. The Giro aires looks pretty nice a probably is just as good but I am not sure about those thin plastic fasteners. I use my helmet for road, mtb, and e-skate

    I've chosen my helmets based on how well they fit my head. I've had some that didn't fit well, despite being the correct size for me. I've gone through 3 generation of the Specialized Align (not because it is the cheapest, but because it fits my noggin so nicely) and am now using a Giro Agilis.

    Does the Aries look more compact on the head when compared to the Eclipse? Or are they the same footprint? I rather have a smaller profile than the Eclipse.

    • @Veloworthy
      @Veloworthy  4 місяці тому +1

      The aeries is slightly more compact with more vents than the eclipse. However the eclipse does make up for it in aero gains. Side by side though, the Aeries is less "bulky".

    Im a Giro person myself, having 3 top of the range Atmos in different colours and one mid range cos I fancied grey/white, which all look awesome, fit perfect and have no issues what so ever but a week ago I thought I'd switch it up a little by trying ABUS Gamechanger 2 as I fancied the flip-flop blue, sam-ish as to your Giro but in high gloss finish. I am still a Giro fan but am a little miffed at the harness breaking like that, it looks like a weak point that really needs addressing.

    i have the giro eclipse spherical in white and black color depending on my kit of the day. i have no hair so the ventilation part is not a thing for me. but if the price drops ill add a aries to my collection in a different colorway.

    Sorry if I missed it but what size is that? This is the first helmet I ever try that doesn't fit me in a size medium. I put on a large and my head looked mega HUGE. For that reason I passed on this helmet and I really wanted it. The medium looked great but it was incredibly tight and I'm sure I had it all loosened up. I wonder why it came like that 🙁

      It's a medium. It can get tight on my head if I grow my hair out 😂

    Are the straps the same because they are not comfortable and suck up sweat and water. Not comfortable and straps /clip hasn't changed compared to other brands.

    • @Veloworthy

      Straps are the same as the others. They do make aftermarket sweat pads that help but you really have to stay on cleaning those straps.
