I bought one from Anaconda for $50-00 and have had no worries with it for two years .

Can't remember which models- superlight models?...
I got the 525 that I am happy with, but my $20 or $25 Aldi is more comfortable but a bit heavier.
Come to to think of it, I think Aldi's are better!

Glad I read this as a Foray has been on my shortlist for a while - looks good, good price, aero will make me faster . Dropped into Anaconda today and you're right, those straps hit you right near the temples...Bentnose wrote:The problem I'm finding with the Giro I bought is that where the straps enter the helmet they are tripled over and dig into your head.
Perhaps it is possible to cut away a little of the foam just under the strap's folded end so they sit flush?

The mod would be invisible to anyone but a really really clued on inspector. I'm talking about a relief cutout of about 10mm x 5mm x 2mm deep, behind where the strap enters the foam. My current helmet has bigger dents than that. It would also prevent the protruding lumps from actually hurting you.Mulger bill wrote:Instantly void warranty and the A/NZS sticker that way Matty...

I think you'd be weakening the helmet by cutting a bit out, I'd just go for a different helmet. I'm trying to get the missus to use my Giro, someone may as well get some use out of it, but she was complaining about it digging in as well, didn't seem as bad when I first tried it on.
