When you take a face plant into the concrete on a failed rail attempt, you'll be glad you have the full-face protection of the Giro Remedy S Helmet. Trusted by riders like J.P. Auclair and Xavier DeleRue, this helmet delivers enhanced coverage to handle the knarliest lines, rails, and jumps. The Remedy S' EPS foam liner takes the impact of brutal hits. The flow through design sucks air in the front of the helmet and lets it out 14 vents for on-the-fly ventilation. A removable visor offers further protection and keeps the sun out of your eyes while being towed into backcountry kickers.
Bottom Line: The Remedy S Helmet provides serious protection for rails, jumps and lines with serious consequences.
Im thinking of buying this helmet, but is a bit unsure about the size. My head measure is 57cm and i like to have a, relatively, tight fit. Should I go for the Medium or the Small one? Live in europe, so dont want to order the wrong size.
Have you considered trying to find a local shop with the helmet so that you can try it on? At the very least try and locate an other giro helmet and try those on and see what size fits. Generally the same manufacture has all of their helmets fit the same. If you cannot do that...it seems like the sizing chat would suggest you get a medium(55-59cm).
Temps are falling, but no snow yet, so I haven't skied since I received this helmet in the mail, thus I can only review the apparent construction (bomber, as Giro helmets always are) and fit. Since fit is arguably the most important aspect of any helmet, I have to recommend going smaller than the size chart recommends--I measure out as a Large, but as I found with my G10 MX, the Remedy S Comp also runs larger than it is supposed to and I had to return the Large for a Medium. The Medium fits perfectly, and since I went with the Matte Grey color, I hopefully won't look TOO much like Darth Vader or an F-16 pilot when I'm using this helmet with my avalung...will update when I've had some experience riding with this bucket. But as long as my face and skull remain intact, it's doing its job and I'm happy!
In my effort to become familiar with breathing through my avalung and getting the mouthpiece into my mouth reflexively, I tried out the Remedy S Comp with the avalung around the house for a little while today. Unfortunately, the jaw of the Remedy is close enough to the mouth that the (rather large) mouthpiece of the avalung only barely fits, and there really isn't a comfortable place for the mouthpiece to "hang out" while I'm riding the chair, standing in line, etc. I'm sure I'll deal, but it is shaping up to be a less-than-ideal combo.
This helmet fits very well with the Smith Regulator goggle. I ordered a pair of Giro Roots yesterday, so I'll update when I have evaluated their fit, but expect it to be perfect since Giro products are designed to work together.
Basically, almost any goggle will work with this helmet, including the Wisdoms. That said, they are definitely one of the worst option, for any helmet. The hooks on the sides of the goggles make fitting very difficult. Some other goggles I would suggest are the Smith I/O (personal favourite), Phenom, or Prodigy, Oakley Crowbar or A-Frame (if you want to keep it Oakley), or any Electric, Von Zipper, Dragon. These are just a few, but all have a design that will work for this helmet.
Alright i was sick of hurting my face skiing, so i bought this helmet. People may say things to you about it, but tell them to fuck off. If you think your going to be landing on your face or having your knees hit you in the face on a somewhat regular basis then buy the helmet. Its pretty comfy, and surprisingly warm. One bummer is that if you take a good fall in powder sometimes snow will become trapped right around your face, and it makes you feel like your suffocating, but its all right. The other bummer is the visor(you have to have the visor otherwise you look silly)breaks quite a bit and their usually $15, I broke mine three times in two seasons. Great helmet for saftey, and it looks funny when you blow smoke out of it.

Yeah it makes you look like a tool, but if you are racing or hucking big huge cliffs it might be worth the protection, but just dont wear it when you go for a causal day on the slopes.
My friend Nick Franchi wears this for biking, and he's a total tool but it still looks good on him. I'd only wear this if you're racing or hucking huge cliffs, otherwise, people are going to wonder why you're wearing a full-face.
