Doesn't fit the Omen

I can't speak for the audio qualities since I only got as far as realizing that the earpads do not fit the Omen. The tabs that slip into the helmet are a slightly different shape than the stock ones. Also, I couldn't figure out where to put the BT Link so it wouldn't be in the way. Would be better if the BT was built into the earflap.

Giro 2008 Omen Wireless Audio Helmet

Rating for this product: 3 March 2, 2009

What's a rabid powder hound to do? I have been looking in ski shops for a while for a bluetooth Omen helmet to try on. Time's up. I'm tired of sweating in my Boeri shortie and having my runs interrupted by frantic bouts of digging for my cellphone to answer that all-important call. OK. Some days I turn it off, but if I can ski while I work, life is good. Go to the Giro website. Study the specs and images. Search for online supplier. Read the reviews. Confidently buy on backcountry.com. Foam at the mouth while UPS delivers just as promised. Carefully open the box. The sinking feeling hits!

What you get is a helmet with a DJ headset in a separate box. I assumed the headset band was an accessory - my bad. It's a bit of a hassle to remove the speakers, and install them on the much thinner earpods that come with the headset only to find out that these audio pods were not comfortable. Maybe you will have better luck or patience. Second of all, because they stick out so much, I'm afraid I might shear them off when going thru the trees. The Giro website makes them look svelte. Their 360 degree viewer does not include the speakers. A couple of concerns with the helmet are that the vent doors rattle slightly and you can't park your goggles on the front of the helmet because they slide right off. Hope that plastic clip holds them while riding the chairlift!
