Evel Kneivel-esque

By Taylor Heaps Ranked #24 - Helmets November 7, 2008

I got this helmet for Christmas last year after deciding that it was the best of what Giro had to offer. The ventilation is a big highlight. It has an adjustable vent and you can put plugs in the front vents if things get bitter cold. The lowlights are that it is a giant helmet and the audio is disappointing. When I wear it, I look like I am about to be shot from a cannon. The audio isn't great. I opted out of the bluetooth functionality immediately. My cell phone rarely works on the mountain and I prefer not to be taking calls anyway. To use it in an only mp3 player mode, I had to buy a cable from Best Buy. Having 3 feet of audio cord running through my jacket wasn't the best setup. I would only recommend this jacket if you absolutely need to use your phone on the mountain. If you are just looking for tunes, take a look at RED or Bern. They make a lower profile brain buckets with easy speaker ear pieces.
