The G9's freestyle inspired looks and state of the art protection helps give you the confidence to stomp that new trick you've been working on. The G9 Helmet's impact- absorbing foam liner takes the brunt of huge impacts, so your brain doesn't have to. The tough polycarbonate outer shell will take multiple seasons of small hits. Once you get tired of the park, hike the ridge for some freshies. Giro gave the G9 helmet 12 vents to keep you cool and comfortable on the way up. If the temperature drops and the wind picks up on top, plug the vents with the included Weatherstrip vent plugs. The G9's ample venting and light weight make it an excellent choice for backcountry riding as well.
Bottom Line: Law number 1: Land on your feet, not on your head. Should you violate the law, you'll be glad you're wearing the Giro G9 Helmet.
This helmet is a great all around helmet. It fits well, is warm, especially with the ear flaps, and fits goggles well with no gaper gap. The vents work well when not plugged. My head is never warm on super cold days. Simple and effective, just what I need in a helmet. Gives you piece of mind also.
Just skiied Hokkaido, Japan, minus 12 Celcius, and lots of trees. I chose to wear a ski-helmet for the 1st time in 35 years after breaking my bicycle one, and realising the consequences! This hemet was WARM(no beanie), light, comfortable and gave no goggle forehead gap. I initially bought a Medium- which was a little big even for my 57cm diam head. However it fitted my step-daughter, and a repeat purchase on the Small was great. The goggle catch is very secure, and there is an easy adjustment wheel. The pink floral design wasn't too lairy! Top marks!

So I bought the "morroco" color helmet, be warned, it comes in a pink box and is a "ladies" helmet. However, I questions my buds and they all though it was cool so I kept it.
Fit is great, vents are great, overall great helmet. Just do not order the rust color one if you have an issue wearing gear made for women. :-)
