Description of Giro 2008 Omen Helmet:
With their Omen Helmet, Giro pulled out all the stops to bring you a brain bucket that was made for the park, the powder, and everything in between. The Omen gives you cliff-dropping, big-air hucking, tree-shredding protection with its in-mold Hardbody shell. This shell has high-impact ABS zones to save your noggin and is fused with the versatile EPS liner for a low-profile look. You'll stay comfortable, whether you're carving through powder in January or owning the park in March—the In Form system optimizes fit at the turn of a dial, while the Dual Thermostat lets you open and close any of the Wind Tunnel's 14 vents with the touch of a button. If the Omen's style and performance are up to standards of big mountain riders like Jeremy Jones and Chris Davenport, you know it'll do the job.

Bottom Line: Charge the park or steep terrain with confidence in the Giro Omen Helmet.

Let Down   10-26-07

I bought this helmet and returned this helmet. Good luck trying to keep your $100 goggles on this melon. The back goggle latch is cheap and doesn't hold your goggles well. Why anyone would manufacture a $200 helmet and not give you a goggle latch that just snap shut is beyond me. Crap.

Very good, but not great   11-30-07

The helmet is very well constructed and protective. The rear lobe adjustor is a great improvement over my previous helmet (1st gen. RED helmet). However, the vent closing mechanism is not smooth. It may be better after being broken-in, but out of the box, it requires more effort to move the plastic blade over the holes. The may not be a big deal, except for this price point, I would expect everything to work fine.

O Dang!!   04-02-08

I have used this for two years now and i really like it overall. the vent system has worked really well for me. having two sets of them is awesome. when it is snowing out you can just open the back set and nothing will get in. It is very light and comfortable. Having the sizing mechanism in the back makes it feel just right. My only gripe is the front. The front of the helemet is abnormally high and makes it really had to find goggles that make a good fit with it. I have spy orbits and smith phenoms and they both kind of have the gapper gap going on which sucks. Overall it works great you can hardly tell your wearing it.
