With riders like Antti Autti, Andy Finch, and Gretchen Bleiler wearing the Giro Shiv Helmet, you know this skate-influenced brain bucket will protect your skull without making you look like an egg-headed tool. The interior sub-liner allows you to adjust the padding or remove it completely to make room for a beanie. Run your goggles on the inside for an even lower profile look.

  • In-mold shell construction reduces weight and overall bulk by fusing the outer shell with the impact-absorbing foam liner
  • Super Cool vents pull fresh air in and push heat out for better temperature regulation
  • Weatherstrip shields work to seal-off vents in extreme cold
  • Removable ear pads
  • Compatible with TuneUps systems

Bottom Line: Keep a low profile and lay down some solid sessions.

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

Awesome helmet

I wrote a review on the Giro shiv, I'm not quite sure what is different about the Shiv2, but I figured the review may still be helpful to some so here it is.

I decided to try something new this year and I found a good deal on a Giro Shiv on SAC so I decided to pick it up. After an entire season I am a big fan of this helmet. I've never been a stickler about the vents really, I pulled out the "vent plugs" and they stayed out all year. I also pulled out all of the padding and earpads and wore a beanie underneath instead. Even though some say its bulky, I enjoyed the big fuzzy chinstrap. Really comfortable and no rubbing/irritation to speak of, although it does ice over pretty well on cold/blizzardy days, in which case I'm always wearing an artic yowie so its not a big deal. All in all, I haven't had any problems with this helmet and it has held up really well. I like the way it fits, and it doesn't stick up too high or give the dreaded bobblehead look (in my opinion). I've accompanied this review with a corny photo to show the fit of the helmet with smith I/O goggles.

I love this helmet because it fits "low" on my head, i.e., not sticking way up like a bubble-head. It's light, has perfect venting, and I just take out the liner and the earflaps and wear a hat underneath for perfect warmth and temperature regulation.
