This helmet is a great all around helmet. It fits well, is warm, especially with the ear flaps, and fits goggles well with no gaper gap. The vents work well when not plugged. My head is never warm on super cold days. Simple and effective, just what I need in a helmet. Gives you piece of mind also.
I bought this exact helmet at the first of the season and loved it. Covered my ears perfectly and i never once had a problem with it. I recently had a good crash and this helmet saved my brain from falling out on the snow. I cracked it in three spots in the back like it is designed to do on falls like the one i had. I am for sure going to buy another one exactly like it.
Just used this on boarding holiday for the first time. Really pleased with the purchase, the helmet is very light so hardly feel you're wearing it.
The oter good thing is that the dial on the back of the helmet to tighten the fit means you can wera with or without a hat underneath in cold weather and still get a really snug fit.
My only regret is not getting one with ear pads that connect up to an ipod but I may be able to buy these spearately. If you're not fussed about listening to music though I'd highly rate this
I used to have a RED helmet from year and years ago and I have tried on many many helmets trying to find one that fit my head really well. The G9 was the one! It is comfortable...WARM! you can have the vents closed or open. Which is KEY for me! I wear a small in this and it fits me perfect. I wear small in all skate helmet brands, protec and triple 6. This helmet fits really great with my Von Zipper Sizzles. The chin strap is really comfortable and is not bulky. The ear flaps are warm and comfortable as well. Overall I am stoked on this helmet and have met many people who have this helmet and are stoked on it also. I still feel like a chick with this on.
Just skiied Hokkaido, Japan, minus 12 Celcius, and lots of trees. I chose to wear a ski-helmet for the 1st time in 35 years after breaking my bicycle one, and realising the consequences! This hemet was WARM(no beanie), light, comfortable and gave no goggle forehead gap. I initially bought a Medium- which was a little big even for my 57cm diam head. However it fitted my step-daughter, and a repeat purchase on the Small was great. The goggle catch is very secure, and there is an easy adjustment wheel. The pink floral design wasn't too lairy! Top marks!
I searched the web over looking for the perfect helmet. I have always liked Giro for Mtn. Bike helmets, and that led me to purchasing their ski helmet. I have a large cranium, and the G9's adjustable sizing band allows for a snug fit with or without a skullcap. The ear pieces and chin strap are extremely comfortable also. In addition, the removable vent plugs are easy to remove and put in your pocket. I would always recommend at least looking at helmets at a local store, but then coming back to the web to get the best deals. This site and the Giro G9 were the best combination for me. I would defiantly recommend this helmet to everyone. Go Giro!
Fits well (I wear a beanie underneath). The new Dial a strap they put in as of last year helps with the fit, and when it breaks, you can just rip it out. The new ear flap mechanism is also nice, even though I took them off. The helmet has minimal gap with Anon Solace goggles. Rad! I wear it when i go cycling as well in the summer time as well.
As a first time helmet user this one is GREAT!
Just got back from wearing it on a week long ski trip in Jackson Hole and I didn't even know I had it on.
Super comfortable,no side visual restrictions,and my head did not overheat!
Five stars!
I love this helmet. Vents when you want them, great fit, and good looks. I upgraded some speakers into the helmet and I couldn't be happier on those solo days on the hill!
The silver helmet is a women's breast cancer awareness helmet with 3 and 4 leaf clovers on the back. The backcountry people lied to me about the design on the back and now I am in the process of returning the helmet. The helmet could kinda be consider unisex but it just wasn't for me. Very comfortable otherwise and it fit snuggly.
