Giro 2008 G10 Helmet - 2007 BCS

This helmet was the greatest snowboarding related purchase I've ever made. The "easy to adjust" straps keep it snug and comfortable and the lining is super soft and conforms perfectly to your skull, gotta keep your noggin safe, the earflaps are also nice and soft and keep your ears warm and comfortable. The outer shell is both tough and light and the adjustable vents are perfect for keeping your head nice and cool on those warmer days. This helmet is a great investment especially for the $67 dollar price tag. Five stars all the way! This helmet has saved me from serious injury at least twice. Best purchase ever made.

I own the G10 Olenick Pro Model, and it's a great product. It fits extremely well, is comfortable, and looks great. The vents work spectacularly, and the helmet is very well cushioned. Keep in mind, however, that only Giro goggles will work perfectly with this helmet. I own a pair of Anon Realms and there is a very annoying gap present, yet when I wear my Scott goggles the gap goes away.

A solid, well-made helmet from Giro. Pretty comfortable, adjustable fit, adjustable venting. I added a wired Tune-Ups kit for audio; works great. Seems like it will do a good job protecting my skull from rogue snowboarders or my own stupidity.

If you're questionable about size, order up. You can adjust the size down quite a bit. I was on the border of XL/XXL and got an XL (XXL was out of stock...) It fits me pretty well, but I have to have the adjustment all the way out and it's still a little tight sometimes in the back.

I really love my G10, it's light, very comfortable and works great with my Smith goggles and glasses. I hardly know I have it on. My wife and son have G10's too and are very happy as well. I highly recommend this helmet.

If this had not happened to me on another GIRO product, then I would have given this helmet such a LOW rating. The forward anchors for the fit adjustment system have consistantly (3rd GIRO helmet)broken loose from the foam they are in above the temple. Otherwise the helmet is great. Just not a favorite of mine.

I rode the G10 for about 3 seasons and then hit my head pretty good one day. There were no visible cracks, but I figured it was time for a replacement. The new version comes with a retention system just like the Giro bike helmets, so the fit is even better with the new lid. The venting system rocks, keep it closed up on cold days or cold mornings, then open it up on the fly as the temp increases or as you start lapping the park, trees, or bumps. Good style too.

so I have a 64 CM dome, finding a helmet wasn't exactly easy. I rock the XXL and I left the size sticker on cause I'm proud of my huge cranium.

Anyhow the helmet isn't to heavy, its warm, vent operates very easy with gloves on, chin strap is comfy, ear guard things are nice too. Overall very satisfied with it.

I feel naked skiing without this thing now, and extremely less confident also.

ok helmet but vents at the rear have no diffuser allowing wind to directly access the back of the head ... very uncomfortable in windy conditions. At this price we shouldn't have to use foam and tape to make adjustments to make the gear work well.

Great helmet, very comfortable. But more important is the service from Backcountry. The first helmet came with a broken part. Backcountry did not hesitate to replace it. They sent the replacement even before getting the defective one back. They made the process so easy. Thanks very much! I will not hesitate to buy from here again.

Not a shipping break. The plastic part inside the helmut that holds the adjustment in place was not whole.
Too much trouble to ship back.

Hella tight helmet! works very well with my smith phenom goggles, no gap. super lightweight, good ventilation although the switch to open the vents sticks alot. took some gnarly ones to the head and it protects you well, absorbs alotta shock. great for backcountry and park.

Hella tight helmet! especially if you can find the peter olenick model... slick graphics. annyway, super lightweight with good ventillation (switch to open vents takes alotta pressure to push open, but thats ok) super easy to adjust for fit, fits with goggles very well (i have smith phenom). overal lightweight, easy, and fits well.

To bulky. Retuned for a Giro Fuse.

I ordered the Cranberry/White (W's) helmet, and admit I ordered a L when I should have gotten a M... But it is just a big helmet with a large profile. I ended up going with a Giro Ember (women's) and it's much more sleek and also has soft and fuzzy ear pads and chin strap!

The Giro G10 is a great helmet for pretty much all conditions. It fits very comfortably, it is good with goggles, and the ear pieces keep your ears very worm and protected. I would definitely recommend this helmet to any all mountain/all terrain skier.

Love the adjustable dial to improve the fit! Lightweight. Great/ versatile color. Vents help let your head breathe, but helmet is not watertight should it rain. I got pretty soaked with the vents closed.

I am a first time helmet user and liked this one. My head measures at 59 cm and I got a large...it fit very well and the adjustment knob in the back snugs things up nicely. The helmet stays in place, holds goggles well and as a bonus it keeps you warm. Fortunately I did not have to test it out, but it seems very strong and feels like it would hold up well if any encounters with trees or rocks should occur!

Bought it for my husband before our trip to Vail and Beaver Creek. He was happy his head was protected skiing through some trees. It was warm one day and he was very happy with all of the ventilation.

The quick adjust feature is great if you ski/board in cold weather and need to add a thin hat. The adjustable venting option is also a must have if you ski in a variety of conditions.

There are so many helmet products for skiing .
I think Giro G10 is very good for me because its weight , function and cost is satisfied.

As the subject implies, great helmet. Good fit and the adjustable knob at the base of the helmet adjusts the helmet to your head to make for a perfect fit. Helmet keeps your head warm and protected from hard falls. I have oakleys and smiths and they both fit well to the helmet. My husband has the glossy finsih Giro and problem he has is the goggles slide off if he isn't wearing them. I don't have that problem with the matte finish.

One day i was coming down a run and saw a nice little jump. I thought hit it! hit it! I did unfortunately i landed on a patch of ice, i lost control, and rocked my dome. If it wasn't for this helmet i would have been in the hospitle and out cold. Must have for bombin down the mountain

Literally. Nothing to question, light, adjustable venting, audio option, great fit, and will actually save your head. I'd be dead right now instead of writing this review if it weren't for that helmet. I'll be buying another one as soon as I can ski again.

This helmet has been great. It was all I expected. I have used it through the glades and regrettably bounced it in the park. Both instances the helmet came through with flying colors. I can't compare to other helmets since this is my first, however I do like the G10.

I usually get very hot when skiing, and perspire a lot. I was therefore a bit apprehensive about wearing a helmet - any helmet. The venting on this G10 works very well. Unless it is very cold or snowing heavily, I ski with the vents open all the time. (In seriously cold weather you could wear a thin beanie under the helmet). This is a very comfortable helmet and I do not even know it is there. No problem either using Smith Fuse goggles with the helmet. I would recommend this helmet to a friend!

I got this helmet two seasons ago. All helmets save lives this one included. I am reckless and often ski on the edge of control. Trust me when I say This helmet can take many big falls and come out unscathed. The helmet is light, warm and, comfortable. I wear it all day without getting too hot or cold. It fits wonderfully with my A-Frames, little to no gap, and preforms. The best helmet I have worn to date. (This is my 4th helmet.)

Simply put, a helmet is a key piece of ski gear for the reckless and the Giro G10 is a prime choice.

I have only used my helmet once but, it was great and very comfortable. Shipping and service was excellent! would differently shop with them again.T he price wasn't the lowest out there but they were the only ones who had the right size.
