The Giro Fixture has long been the world’s best-selling mountain bike helmet, and it’s easy to see why. It hits a sweet spot that’s hard to find: genuinely good protection, a comfortable and reliable fit, solid ventilation, and a price that doesn’t make your eyes water. This updated Fixture II Women’s takes everything that made the original great and refines it — a fresh silhouette, better airflow, and a women’s-specific shell size, all at £69.99.
Whether you’re new to trail riding or a seasoned rider after a dependable everyday lid, this is one of the most sensible helmets on the market.
This isn’t just a new colourway — it’s a properly updated helmet with a reworked shell profile and improved ventilation compared to the previous generation Fixture II. The revised silhouette fits more cleanly, and the enhanced airflow channels do a noticeably better job of keeping you cool on climbs or warmer riding days. It’s a subtle upgrade that makes a real difference on longer rides.
The Fixture II Women’s uses a shell size developed specifically for women’s head shapes, rather than simply being a smaller version of the unisex helmet. Combined with the Universal Woman sizing (50–57 cm), it’s designed to sit properly on a wider range of women’s heads straight out of the box — no uncomfortable pressure points, no awkward gaps.
Like all of Giro’s better helmets, the Fixture II Women’s uses in-mould construction — a process that permanently fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with the EPS foam impact liner. The result is a helmet that’s lighter, more ventilated, and more durable than traditional hard-shell designs, without adding unnecessary weight or bulk.
The Roc Loc® Sport fit system is one of the standout features at this price point. A dial at the rear of the helmet gives you a 7cm adjustment range with a satisfying click-mechanism, so you always know exactly where your fit is set. It operates with one hand and — crucially for this helmet — is fully ponytail-compatible, making it a practical choice for riders who wear their hair up.
The internal padding wicks sweat efficiently and dries quickly between rides, keeping things fresh and comfortable over time. Reflective rear decals add useful low-light visibility — handy for early starts, evening rides, or those overcast New Forest days where the light fades earlier than you’d like.
The new Giro Fixture II Women’s is a great option for female mountain bikers and trail riders who want a trustworthy helmet from a brand with a proper track record, at a price that’s hard to argue with. It works equally well as a first off-road helmet or a reliable everyday option.
