Thanks for the great review mate.

Ive got the Gyro, its a great helmet. The convertable feature is useless to me, i only use it with the chin bar. The day i take it off will be the day i wish id left it on knowing my luck. Bought it on sale, great buy.

im an Escooter rider tryin to up my protection for riding in Los Angeles at night so gotta keep my noggin safe - wouldve like a closer look at how they connect and pull apart but still very helpful info

Great video!!!

I prefer the Bell. Great review!

Thanks mate, I also watched your Super DH review. Something that every review misses is the question of sizing. For eg. how does the Medium fit on a head size thats on the fringe between medium and large, ie 59cm?

Great info as always - Met ??? That said I’m coming into another UK autumn/winter so my POC FF will be getting the love - used Bell for the mo bikes for years but like the lift up full faces for me it’s one too far - maybe when i retire the TLD A1 Oh yeah - FIRST!!

Any chance you could show us the inside of the helmets as a comparison? Also how the mips is different in both?

Just watched your vid I guess I’m going to have to work out my neck and head lol 😂, I just purchased the Giro Switchblade I started doing a little bit of enduro more technical riding. I think by your review that you feel more safer with the Switchblade made me choose between these 2 helmets I’m a person with epilepsy so if I crash the impact of hitting my head can trigger a seizure depending on how safe the helmet is so I went with the Switchblade might be a little heavier , but if it can prevent me from getting a big seizure than it’s the helmet I’ll use. Just hoping I don’t break my neck lol , also with MIPS I think it will make a big difference

I don't think it is all that useful to say you "feel safer" in one helmet over the other. Just because a heavier helmet feels more sturdy does not necessarily mean it is going to be better protection... My main worry with the Giro is that the mounting mechanism for the chinbar doesn't look that solid. I read a comment from someone that it had come off the helmet in a crash and also a long-term video review on YT said that after just 6 months of use the attachment mechanism on the helmet side had started to come apart. In contrast the super DH chinbar may be more difficult to mount but it also seems more likely to stay in place even in a crash and not likely to degrade over time.

I just ordered bell sdh today! In Australia so should be better for summer

both have a great shape.

My Giro certainly saved me on a bike park crash which retired it. I personally found it pretty uncomfortable and on/off I was faffing removing the chin bar to take the helmet off as it was a really tight fit over the ears.. which is all concerning for helmet removal post crash. Hence i didn't replace it. I also wasn't used to the moto style chin strap and found it a fiddle but I did get better at it. I now use a POC Coron Spin for Bike Park and despite being heavier it's night and day more comfortable for me... maybe its the weight distribution and more tune-able fit on the POC? It's also significantly more easy to remove and with the quick release safety pads a much better bike park option IMO. I did use the Giro a couple of times on winter night rides on a non ebike but I never used it on cool/warm day rides as i'd have boiled my brain... still a much more comfortable option on an Ebike and if it fits you well and removes easier than for me then yeah its a reasonable option for non BP stuff IMO.

My one and only favorit: Giro switchblade 👍👍👍👌

that small pad in front at the top of the helmet is supposed to be a sweat pad that redirects your forehead sweat an inch away from your goggles. I found it better to wear goggles with it

I got a Smith Mainline. A MIPS with plenty of vents and only 770 grams.

Thanks for the video dude Im looking at both theses helmets and trying to decide what to get as they are both good helmets. I had a giro half face helmet until I had a big crush on the head so I'm really Considering the switchblade but im wondering about the size I have a 58.5 cm head so wondering if its best to get a medium or a large

Would these be suitable to ride electric boards at 20mph?

I have the 3R The system that tightens around your head loosens really easily and would definitely loosen in a crash, is it suppose to do that?! And is this thing actually good for mountain biking?! There’s no padding, and the helmet seems really thin! I’m mainly going to use this for fast biking around the city and hill Bombing would it hold up to a good crack of the head on the concrete?!?

@2:27 you say the bell is heavier and noticeable, but the data says the opposite. Which is it?

I have the Bell DH and I’m able to take on and off the chin bar without taking off the Hemet off my head.

Can you add Met Parachute in the mix?

Really nice review, I tried on both and bought the Giro because it squeezed my jaw less, but still seemed I "felt" more protected like you mentioned. Is it common to break the visors? Mine didn't come with the spare GoPro mount visor, I feel like I'd want it even if I don't use GoPro much yet

Dude I just watched this and I have no idea what it was about. What was the purpose?

Sam you need to get out on your ebike record and ride, just lately it seems to be like a shopping comparison channel. Sorry mate

Dude... "GEEEEEERO" as in GIRO di Italia

Troy lee stage. I have seen both met and Bell have their chin guards break off in crashes.
