Hey guys, looking into a new helmet as my old one got destroyed by a low branch and have been drawn to the Giro Feature. I love the styling and the price suits me so I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this helmet or happens by chance to know the difference between the 2012 and 2013 models?

The same AFAIK. Be prepared for a hot head though. My new Bell Super is much nicer than my Feature.

Got a Feature - makes a great helmet for cooler weather but for me personally it's too hot during the Summer. I think it's only colour changes between the 2 years.

Also have a Giro Xar which is a much better all year round option.

The back comes down a long way.it can feel odd if your bike setup is low at the front and you tend to ride low and cock your head up. Is warmer than my more vented xc/road helmet. Otherwise is great.

The 2013 medium cinches up smaller than the 2012. The 2012 medium is only just small enough for me but I tried a 2013 small and it wouldn't go big enough all so I don't know if they've changed the actual sizing or just given the adjusters more downwards range.
