Nice Helmet

By Backcountry.com Employee September 12, 2009

The Giro Omen is a nice helmet. I've skied in it a couple of seasons and it's pretty nice. Light weight, good ventilation. Chin strap is padded so that is comfortable. The plastic inner-frame is adjustable so you can get a decent fit. I have a hard time fitting helmets with my tiny pinhead, so I got this in a small. My only nit is if I tighten the inner frame a bit too much I get a headache, but it's easily loosened. I found the Giro G10 helmet to be a bit more comfortable.
