The Giro Revolver has all the style and safety you want, plus a few killer features you didn't even know you needed.

  • Center brim Stack Vent pulls fogging exhaust away from the top of your goggles
  • Soft internal Subliner lets you remove the fit pads and rock a beanie without irritation or discomfort
  • Goggle Channel provides space for wearing your goggle strap inside the helmet
  • Hard Shell takes the dings of daily use without damaging the protective EPS foam liner

Bottom Line: Reliable under fire.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Finally sweet styling in a $70 helmet. I run goggles under my helmet, this has an internal goggle channel so you have no strap bunching. SICK!

It's a great Helmet. Protects and keeps my head warm. But one thing I dislike about it the ear pads hurt my ears after like 3 hours of wearing it straight.

You should find a helmet that fits you correctly first, and then match the goggles to the helmet. I know this may not seem helpful, but I looked at a couple dozen helmets before finding a good fit. Finding a pair of goggles that I liked and fit the helmets was the easy part.

Good product, great delivery time....BUT!!!!

By:
January 18, 2011

The helmet worked great! It came with different size inserts that you can velcro on and off for a perfect fit. There aren't a lot of vents in it so if your the sweaty type, this isn't for you. Kept it on all day with no problem, wasn't too heavy. Worked great with the goggles. Giro made a good helmet for the price.

I got free shipping on this item! Thanks Back Country! The delivery was quicker than I expected! Website said 7-10 days for delivery, but I received the helmet 4 days later! The only downside, and a big one, was that the helmet looked like it was either a display item or a second hand helmet in the original box. The velcro inserts didn't even want to stick to the dirty, worn-out, beaded headliner in the helmet. I was disappointed that Back Country would even send me a product in this condition!

Good ... for the price

By:

There is only one reason I'm not satisfied with: even if I bought the size larger than my head, when I use a hat (it's a decent thin one) under the helmet, the helmet gets a little to tight right above my earlobes and after a while it's getting uncomfortable. And I don't think I can upgrade it to even a larger size because then it would just fell off my head without the hat.

Is this helmet compatible with the tuneups speakers? I know

Is this helmet compatible with the tuneups speakers? I know there is a audio version but I was wondering if the earpads have pockets for headphones

The earpads can be pulled apart (velcro) and small speakers can be inserted. There are remoavble foam disks for this purpose and the inner lining has a bunch of small perforations to let the sound through. The bottom seam of the earpad has a small hole through which you can thread a cable. So I'd imagine they are compatible with a wide range of headphones.

Does what is supposed to do!!!

By:
February 24, 2011

As the father of 3 young boys who are now independant skiers, my wife and I felt it was important for them to wear some sort of headgear. Well, to avoid the foreseen arguement of "well you don't wear one, why do we have to!" I bought the "Revolver" and love it. Comfortable, warm and protects from hard impacts.

The only complaint I would have is that my Oakley goggles don't nestle under the bill as well as I would like. They are shaped too much but Spy and Scott goggles seem to have a better fit to the bill.

Overall.......good lid!

Has everything I need.

This helmet was comfortable and I like the style. The fact that I was able to customize the padding inside was particularly nice. I can’t imagine needing anything else. I hope I never need to test its durability in a crash. I’ll let you all know if I survive should that ever happen. (No promises)

Our first season to wear helmets skiing. Wife loved the Giro Revolver in white and green, matched her ski coat perfectly. Fit true to size and was lightweight and comfortable and kept her head warm. No complaints.

Awkward fit and didn't fit with 3 diff sets of goggles. Good price, but not a deal on my end. If yer not hung up on goggles probably a descent buy.

First Impression

By:
November 18, 2009

I just bought this helmet, so I have yet to use it on the slopes, but this helmet looks great. I hate how most helmets sit on top of your head. Let's be honest, they just make you look stupid. But this helmet sits down nicely on my head. It also has removable padding allowing it to sit down even further. The way I have it now, the brim of the helmet is aligned just above my eyebrows...similar to how I wear a baseball cap.
My head size was 23 in. exactly and the Medium fit perfectly.

Sick Brain Bucket!!

This helmet rocks. I have the green one, and get tons of comments about it. This helmet is comfortable and true to size. The clip keeps the goggles in too, even on HARD hits. I use it with VZ goggles and they work really well together. (the vz goggles are larger than normal too)... All in all, i love this helmet.

Giro Revolver Helmet

By: Backcountry.com Employee
March 17, 2010

What sold me on this helmet was the fact that I could remove all the padding and be able to wear a beanie and goggles underneath. A lot of other helmets I tried on felt weird with the combo, but this one is perfect. The internal goggle channel helps make room for your goggle strap so its not sitting inside awkwardly. It's lightweight too. I get a lot of comments on it and most people are surprised that it's Giro. Low profile and not bobble-head like. Works great with Oakley Crowbars. And for people who do like the padding, it comes with 2 different thicknesses, so you can get a custom fit for your noggin.
