There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I bought this a mere month ago, to replace what was (and is) an okay helmet that had no issues. I honestly just wanted a helmet that looked cooler than my basic $20 one from Costco. I accepted the fact that I was going to have spend a little bit more to have a cool helmet. Once I got in the $100 price range, the MIPS system was a must have, and this helmet has it.
It fits my head much better than my old helmet. Old helmet was adjustable and was not UNcomfortable, but the Chronicle seems to actually grab on to my head and very comfortably holds itself in place, whereas my old one just felt like it was sitting on top of my head. A good way to explain it is if I was doing a handstand in these helmets withOUT the chinstrap buckled, the old one would just fall off, where the Chronicle feels like it would stay of because of the way it grabs your head. I like that.
Anyway, I wore it once, no issues, don't mind seeing the visor ever so slightly in my peripheral, comfortable helmet. Second time I wore it, I got to test it out. Coming down a trail at a high rate of speed (18-20 mph), and the trail bends and I ride the outer edge of the turn. Unfortunately There is a massive root with a 5" lip I can't avoid, and I hit that sucker and the bike slows way down but I don't. I fly over the bars and come down on the right side of my body, head first, and plow dirt and rocks for about 6 feet. The skewed angle of my head hitting was just what the MIPS was designed for, and while I wasn't thinking, "Wow! I can really feel the MIPS working!" at the time, I'm sure that if I had my old helmet, It would have dug in and twisted my head and neck, causing more injuries than what I ended up with. I was alone and the adrenaline kept me from feeling too much pain, and after 5 minutes or so of taking it easy I got back on my bike and finished the last 6 miles, with little effects other than anxiety whenever I went over roots.
To sum it up, I am extremely glad I had this particular helmet three weeks ago. The last scabs just fell off last night, and I'm no worse for wear. The helmet did exactly what it was supposed to do, minimize injuries to my head. That, coupled with the great fit and finish of this helmet, and I'm a Giro Chronicle MIPS believer.
Fit Fit Fit. Fit is amazing for my head. I've done pretty well with fit of Giro helmets and this continues that trend. The Bell Super didn't fit well. There were two bumps in the upper rear that didn't sit well on my head. TLD A1 fit ok also, but didn't want to pay the premium. I tried the Fox Proframe
For a $100 msrp with MIPs, this helmet is fantastic. It fits super well and is nice and snug. Padding is great and makes for a very comfortable helmet. I haven't been able to ride with it in warm weather yet, but it feels like it has much better ventilation than my Feature. I think the Feature got very warm in the forehead area. I can already tell that the Chronicle has better ventilation in the same area.
Only issue I have is with glasses. during the past wet month we've had in the PNW, i've tried riding with clear glasses. I'm able to ride with glasses, but I have to put them on before i put the helmet on. I think that's a problem with my glasses and not the helmet though. The arms on my glasses curve out slightly and make it difficult to slide them on with the retention system if I'm wearing it. My Oakley O-frame goggles fit well and and strap doesn't move around.
Edit regarding sunglasses:. I've learned recently the glass arms are supposed to go outside of the chin strap. My glasses work fine this way.

The visor can be angled differently with a wide range of movement. The snap and back adjustments are simple and work great. And Giro has always been one of the most comfortable to me when it comes to helmets. Excellent overall quality and safety.
