661 or Giro?

Goozfrabba · May 2007

Im needing a new full face helmet and am stuck for choice between the 661 pro bravo carbon and the Giro remedy carbon. In my opinion they both look just as good as each other but i wanted to get some opinions from users. Does the giro come with a crash replacement policy like the 661 does? What do people think of both?

In the shop I held one of each in either hand... I put the Giro back on the shelf. The 661 just has that 'x-factor', and I had always baught Giro untill then.

Afraid not! I dont have any decent bike shops near me that sell them. But i have used 661 for the last couple of years and they are brilliant helmets. Just didnt know how well the giro compared. I think i would have to agree that the 661 looks slightly better! How does the giro compare on performance? I can see this is going to be a tough choice!!!
