1.) Great helmet for a cheap price

I've had my Havoc for two years. It fits great and is easily adjusted on the fly with one hand. I tried on all kinds of helmets from $50 up to $150 and the Havoc was the winner when it came down to price and performance.

Sadly I have to retire my helmet today. I had a pretty bad mountain bike crash and broke the helmet in two places. But I came out of the crash with no head injuries so I have to give it 5 stars for protection.

2.) Nice Havoc Helmet

I've been mountain biking as a hobby for a couple years and this helmet was my second serious helmet purchase.

Pros:
Looks good
Adjustable head strap in back
Comfortable

Cons:
Chin straps sit a little funny under the ears

I love this helmet. I've had mine for a year and a half and would recommend it highly. I just bought another one for a friend. The adjustable fit is great because I can wear it with a lightweight fleece beanie in the winter, or no hat in the summer and I just change the adjustable headband to fit. Works great. Lightweight, well ventilated, and well constructed.

4.) Good... seems to stop rocks and trees from going into my brain

What can I say? It fits well, it's not too uncomfortable when crashing into things. The styling is also tasteful and low-key and should look good for some time to come. Actually this helmet is more rounded in the back, which seems to be the fashion, whereas many helmets have Hermes-esque aerodynamic shapes protruding.

Speaking of plumage, the helmet I really liked was the Bell Influx, but it looked HUGE in the mirror -- all that sculpting meant extra foam and plastic jutting everywhere. The Bell helmets are also flat on the roof, which is bad for folks with pointy heads; the Giros seem to have a vent running down the top ridge which is more comfortable.

Plus, I've had some nice-to-meet-yous with hard objects and I can vouch for its effectiveness.

5.) Good Helmet

Comfortable, good fit. Great ventalation. I feel like in a crash my brain will be at least somewhat protected.

The helmet came damaged. Amazon could not replace it for a month so I bought it elsewhere. I have not been able to get Amazon to send me a return shipping label even tho one of their employees promised to do so on July 27, and I have emailed them since.
THE AMAZON REVIEW IS: DISGRACEFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE=0 STARS.
The helmet review is: fine, but buy it elsewhere.
(Maybe this review will result in someone contacting me so I can return the defective helmet at their expense, which is what I was promised.)

Features of Giro Havoc Bike Helmet

The Havoc is compact, cool and durable enough to handle the roughest pavement and rock-strewn ribbons of singletrack. It is a perfect choice for riders who want top-level performance and value in a low-profile helmet.

Durable enough to handle the roughest pavement and rock-strewn trails, the Giro Havoc Mountain Bike Helmet is a built for riders who want top-level performance and value in a low-profile helmet. This mountain-bike helmet is constructed with in-mold technology that fuses a tough outer microshell to the helmet's EPS foam liner. The fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, making the helmet lighter, cooler and tougher.

The Havoc utilizes Giro's Roc Loc 3 system, which includes tensioning and positioning adjustments, plus variable-fit belt anchor points for a truly custom fit and feel. This Giro helmet features 27 vents that allow cool, fresh air in and stale, warm air out, as well as a snap-fit visor. The Havoc mountain helmet comes in three Super Fit sizes, which combine human scale factor data with handcrafted headforms and rider feedback for ultimate comfort. Giro's Havoc helmet is a lightweight 295 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.

About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty musch anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.
