About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry’s toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too–in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

First of all, awesome helmet. I ride in Vermont for reference: COLD winters! This helmet kept my head and ears warm, the ear flaps have little mesh panels so you can still hear really well. The ear flaps as well as the liner panels inside the helmet are removeable for washing. Helmet is lightweight. Fits fine with goggles and has a snap strap on the back to hold your goggle strap in place. But really though, regardless of all this, you know at first glance if this is your helmet or not!

I have the version wrapped in white leather. I love the helmet! It looks sweet. It’s very comfortable. The Tune-Ups (Giro/Skullcandy) work amazing. Make sure that you get the Tune-Ups that have buttons and not just tabs. I had to send the first ones back, but they are worth it. So convenient and very loud.
The only thing that I would mention is that it holds heat pretty well. On warm days you’ll probably want to take it off when you stop.

This helmet looks great, feels comfortable, stays very warm, and protects your brain! To give you an idea, I was snowboarding in 15 degree weather with wind gusts in Tahoe, and my head and ears never got cold.

This helmet is great for those of us who grew up skiing and snowboarding before the era of helmets, we make our kids wear them, so it’s time for the adults to wear one too–this one is great looking, and proved to be worth our money even on it’s maiden voyage down the mountain… on the last ride of the day, my husband took a digger, and landed hard on the back of his head. He was glad he was wearing it, and loves it!

I was snowboarding in Whistler-Blackcomb and realized that I really needed to protect my head on such steep and rocky slopes back in 2004. I bought this helmet there and have used it for every season since. It is very comfortable and warm and has protected my head in several bad crashes. I couldn’t be happier with this helmet and I’m hoping it will last me for many more seaons to come.
