Choosing the Best Giro Nine.10 Ski Helmet

Product Description

The Giro Nine.10 Helmet was inspired by the Giro Nine Helmet. More than a decade after the original Giro Nine helmet was introduced, it's soul lives on in the all new Nine.10. With style cues from our Seam helmet and featuring our legendary In Form fit system, this lid packs a lot of bang for the buck. Make sure you check out our new Weather Strip Vent Shield which replaces hard to keep track of vent plugs.

Sweet Look And Comfortably Safe!
By Martin A Hogan
We only hear about the celebrities that have serious accidents because they fall without a helmet. There are thousands a year in the USA alone.

Initially, I thought it would be intrusive and cumbersome, but this style actually allows me to have a wide view as much as without a helmet. It also easily allows for your goggles. The fit is snug and weighs about the same as a bike helmet. Giro has a neat 'felt vent plus system' that detaches from the inside of the helmet. It's an ingenious 'weather strip vent shield' that prevents wind from getting into your helmet, thus freezing your head. But if the weather is warm, you can take the interior skin off and still have great protection.

Sizes should be tried on before you purchase a helmet, but using a size large, I found it very easy to adjust the circumference strap by dialing the knob in the back in one direction until it felt snug. I could do this with the helmet on and the knob is in the back. The entire interior strap with felt vent coverings can be unsnapped. The chin strap and the ear coverings are built in, but they provide for a nearly unnoticeable fit and the ear coverings keep your ears warm. That is a huge plus. The chin strap is very easy to adjust and snap on and is covered with a soft felt that dries out quickly. The ear pads are actually vented but for warmth so your hearing is not affected at all.

I would suggest shopping around for your style, color and fit to be sure and never buy a used helmet. They can be cracked and worthless. This is a top rated helmet so remember that you always get what you pay for and your head is the most important part of your body. Great Skiing to everyone!

Perfect for Snowboarding!
By Candace Foy
Our 13 year old son got this for his birthday and loved it! Kept his head nice and warm without needing a toque underneath - and looked great too!

Sharp looking helmet!
By Zimmy
I bought this for my husband for skiing. The medium just barely fit him, his head measures 23", but maybe because his head is more oval than round (roval!). He decided to keep it because he felt the large would have been too big. He is glad he kept it, he has worn it skiing and says it is very comfortable. The Titanium is a nice, neutral color and a nice change from black.
