Giro G10 Helmet
Giro designed the G10 Helmet for riders who push their limits in wide-open freeriding terrain. The wide-angle cut and gapless goggle fit insure you can see your takeoff, spot your landing, and spy everything in between with out any paranoia-inducing blind spots. In-mold construction fuses the exterior polycarbonate shell with the interior EPS liner for ultimate durability without compromising weight. 14 vents with on-the-fly adjustability combined with snap-fit, super-plush removable ear pads keep you cool, comfortable, and levelheaded regardless of the conditions. The G10 is TuneUps compatible.
Bottom Line: Air it out with confidence when you wear the Giro G10 Helmet.

Impressive service!

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.

As far as I know Giro only makes down to a size small, so measure your head and compare to the sizing chart. And yes, American dollars.

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.

To throw my 2 cents in, A-Frames aren't as nice a fit, but Giro goggles, Crowbars, and the Smith I/O's all fit super nice.

Great Helmet
By: Anonymous
January 21, 2008
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.

It's the same sizing, the W is for the women's colours/graphics. A medium should do it for you.

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.

Thunder Dome
By: Justin Latessa
October 26, 2008
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.
Can you clarify if the $65 helmet are 2008-2009 models?

giro g10 helmet
By: hrtzllcons@comcast.net
January 4, 2009
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.
I'm on my second one
By: Francis D.
January 20, 2009
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.

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 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!

Great Helmet
By: le.nhung791427

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.
Question about choosing helmet size: If I plan to wear a hat
Question about choosing helmet size: If I plan to wear a hat under the helmet, should I measure the circumference of my head wearing the hat? Wearing the hat bumps me up about 1.5 cm from a medium to a large, so im unsure which to buy.
By: eliza
January 9, 2009
You should probably buy a large, because it usually won't work if the helmet is too small. But, I wear my beanie under my helmet, (with goggles under helmet too) and to make mine work, I just took out the liner in the helmet (K2 Indy helmet... very nice fyi). So I'm sure you can find a way to make it work. If for any reason it doesn't fit, Backcountry can exchange you for the one that will be better.

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.

hey, umm i was wondering i'm looking for some goggles to go with the giro G10 helmet and i found some, there the Electric EG.1 CMYK Volt LOgo but i was wondering how well it would fit a medium sized giro helmet and would it leave a punters gap? thx
By: Hannah

the electric will fit your helmet just fine. Of course if those goggles dont fit your face thats another story.

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.

What goggles fit well with this helmet?There aren't many choices for Giro goggles on here and my Scott goggles have a forehead gap! My helmet is a medium and I like goggles for a small/medium face.
By: Lindseyso
October 15, 2008
Yeah its going to be tough to find the perfect fit. I have a pair of POC's that leave no gap and a pair of Spy's that gap pretty badly. I'm going to be testing some A-Frames soon enough to see if they have a gap issue with the helmet also. I always carry an under-armor head stocking style hat to wear under it. It prevents the brain freez. Try the phenom goggles from smith, theyre perfect for a small face and i have had no gap issues with my g10. They also have the anthem which is pretty much a women's model of the phenom.

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.
Nice Helmet
By: onl2991712
April 8, 2009
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!
LET DOWN AGAIN by GIRO
By: sep2789556
March 13, 2009
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.
It's very good
By: cer2800343

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.
Cool - Literally

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!
Awesome, Awesome Helmet.

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.
