Great detailed review I’m considering the Montaro or the Kali Maya. I like the tension strap review better on the Montaro then on the Maya. You definitely have a #Crashtested real life review 👍
great helmets, they fit nice, breathe good even on long hill rides, the lower rear was a big selling point for me, had a big crash on a downhill trail in my blue one 8 months back and saved my head from serious injury, replaced it with a black one and still loving the Montaro's, looking at a Desciple or a Fox proframe just for a bit more protection on the downhill runs, i'll keep the montaro for the flatter longer trails though, would highly recommend one to anyone wanting a good helmet
It looks like you wear the helmet with loose straps. Is it correct? Ive bought this helm and I dont know how tight I should setup the straps. Is it okay, if the helmet move back some cm, if I push it with my hand to the front area?
Nice man, I have crashed using the same helmet on my first mtn bike ride lol and the helmet works well but since they came out with the Switchblade I actually replaced it with that and it's a great 2 in 1 helmet since I only have 1helmet. lol great videos by the way, really enjoyed riding with your spouse it's just fun.

Hey Calvin I would say that the helmet is pretty neutral in how it fits. I have a pretty weird shaped head and when I ratchet the helmet down it does not squeeze me on one particular point, instead it applies pressure on the whole head equally. Best fitting helmet I've ever tried. Hopefully that helps, thanks for watching.
Nice review bro! What do You think in terms of sizing? I don't have a chance to try it somewhere and want order it online. My melon is 57 cm, BUT... i try Giro XAR and medium is pushing my temples hard, so i can't wear it (at least, now is my son happy because he wear it).Is this helmet true to size, or is on a small side like XAR ? What's your opinion about ? Anyway, thanks for answer and keep doin' a great videos.
Hey Goran thanks for the kind words. The helmet def fits true to it's size. I have a 59cm head size and I wear a large. It still has room to adjust a bit tighter and and I can make it larger. Thanks for watching.
If the MIPS is still intact, it didn't do its job. It's supposed tear loose and move with your head, independent of the helmet. If it cut you, your head moved and the MIPS didn't.
Always good to see "real world" Helmet reviews....
Thanks man, just giving my honest opinion. Thanks for watching.
You should be a giro spokesman. You are living proof of their protection prowess. Video proves it. Living to ride another day. 🤘
Dan K the helmet is no joke I will never buy an el cheapo helmet ever again.
Dan K me too!

Benjamin Quirk thanks man! Yeah you can really snug down the Montaro. It's a great helmet saved my nugget!

Hahahaha, I found this old video of yours! Nice! I am deciding on a Montaro Helmet.
XC Ben it’s the best!
@@jctrails just ordered the 2018 model in the Sonic Psych color cheme. Excited!
Does it come with the GoPro mount?
Hey Brad, yes the GoPro mount is included. Thanks for watching
JC TRAILS appreciate the quick response. Great review. Looks like this will be my next helmet 🤙🏻
Giro, great fit and quality. They have a fantastic lineup for different budgets, uses and styles.
Totally agree and they fit my head perfectly.

I snug the straps down when I ride, with a about a finger space between the strap and my chin.
Good review, hope the shoulder is ok. Thank you!
Thanks Craig I'm all better and shredding! Thanks for watching
Hey. What year is the new large helmet ? The black one with the multicolour. I can't find it anywhere
The 2017 is has the multi-color bottom. It's such a good helmet they sold out of the main colors pretty quickly.

Hey Ryan the Swithblade is def sweet, I'm glad you enjoyed the videos stay tuned for more!
JC what size head do you have?
tman55575 a huge head! I think it’s 60-61cm in circumference. The size large fits perfectly.
@@jctrails yeah Thats why I'm asking..I'm gonna get one and my head is like 60 cm..you say a large fits good?
tman55575 large will fit 👌
very interested in purchasing ...
Comfort of this helmet is really great. I got the light blue one. Sunvisor works great, it is pricy, but i only have 1 head.
Richard van Tricht I totally agree, I will never cheap out on a helmet.
Great to see real impacts... maybe you can not move the camera AND the helmet it can be hard to watch ;-), great video though!
Kazaam thanks!
Hi, great review! Im thinking about getting this, just a question does this helmet run narrow or wide?

Wow dude! I Just bought this helmet. Think that from today we both have same helmets with the same colour scheme. Thanks once again for great review.
Just got one. It's nice.
SwordSinging it saved my nugget
JC TRAILS Glad you still got ya nuggets intact. Nice funky intro music to. Bike on...
On the cyclists helmets must throw a load of 22.5 kilograms from a height of 180 centimeters. That's how bicycle forks are checked. Try to do it.
Dont be chasing pink bunnies on the trail when you put that trippy lid on
Thim 😱
is a excellent helmet i own one as well ...
