Giro Slingshot Helmet - Kids' - 2009 BCS

The Giro Slingshot Helmet has worked great for my son, who has been skiing with it for the past two seasons. He is now 3 1/2 and is in the middle size range with a hat on underneath, so will be able to continue to wear it for another year, at least. It is easily adjustable, does not fall forward into his eyes, and is warm and comfortable too. The snap goggle strap holder in the back is strong, simple and works well. I have tested it out many times when having to do a middle of Teewinot lift at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, a short and fast quad chair ride that doesn't offer any time to waist before having to be back in order for the bar raising and unloading after, cleaning. It looks to offer good protection against hits and fortunately we have not tested it out yet! Clean looking too...not for long as he is getting stoked to add some stickers to it! Good value to boot!

My son loves this helmet and it's a very good fit. Thank god Giro finally went to the adjustable head bands inside their helmets to save me from replacing our children's every year when they outgrow the old style.

This looks a little bulky on my head (I have a small head, 5'2") but it's very lightweight. I fell while getting off a lift 2 months ago and the chair lift hit me smack at the back of my head. I would've ended up with several stitches on my head if I wasn't wearing a helmet.

Great fit, easy to adjust and really warm. Works great with goggles and we could probably fit a snug beanie under it in a pinch. Light weight too. How cool is the Bolt Skurvy pattern - my little one loves it!

It fits my almost 3 year old nicely and he wears a head/neck gator under the helmet. he seems to like it and has not complained once.

Great. The kids had no compliant. Light weight and protection good.
