Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Helmets. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Giro Studio Nightmares Tyrant MIPS Helmet 2020.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Giro Studio Nightmares Tyrant MIPS Helmet 2020 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Helmets. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Helmets. Brands like Giro are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Helmets category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Helmets.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Giro Studio Nightmares Tyrant MIPS Helmet 2020 Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Giro Studio Nightmares Tyrant MIPS Helmet 2020 reviews there.

Blending superb protection with a unique MTB style from Bicycle Nightmares it’s a brilliant addition to your mountain bike kit bag. Bicycle Nightmares x GiroFounded in 2013 by Barcelona resident Héctor Saura, Bicycle Nightmares takes a fresh and unique view on the crazy culture and lifestyle that is mountain biking.

An EPS foam layer does the job of absorbing the energy from those high-speed falls when you’re at full speed on a trail. Meanwhile, a lower density EPP foam, with rebound characteristics, ensures slower-speed crashes aren’t going to cause an issue either.  All this is wrapped up in Giro’s Hardbody shell system to give a helmet that can take the knocks of dirt riding.Cool and FreshWhatever MTB fun you’re enjoying you’re bound to build up some heat and hence some sweat. But, fear not, the 14 channelled air vents let in cooling airflow so you’re not a sweaty mess by the end of your biking session. You’ll also enjoy a clear view when wearing goggles thanks to Giro’s Channeled Stack™ ventilation at the brow. Drawing warm air away from the face it will leave goggles crystal clear and fog-free. Hardbody™ shellThe Hardbody shell wraps from the outside of the helmet to the inside, giving a significant boost to durability compared to regular helmets. The in-mould construction fuses the tough polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet’s impact-absorbing foam liner. This fusion process allows Giro to sculpt better ventilation systems, so in-mould helmets can be lighter and cooler than traditional helmets.Roc Loc® Air DH Fit SystemThe ultimate in easy adjustment, the  Roc Loc® Air DH Fit System lets you get the fit of the Tyrant just right for you. A bumper around the dial prevents accidental adjustment if in contact with a backpack and it’s super-light too so nothing extra to weigh your head down.  Features:Hardshell with In-mold polycarbonate Hardbody™ lower wrapMIPS Spherical TechnologyProgressive layering with EPS outer liner and EPP inner linerChannelled Stack™ ventilation at brow line14 vents with internal channellingRoc Loc® Air DH fit systemQuick-dry paddingCheek pad ventilationTool-free, bolt-on visorGoggle compatibilityBuy Giro Cycling from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
