When you take a face plant into the concrete on a failed rail attempt, you'll be glad you have the full-face protection of the Giro Remedy S Helmet. Trusted by riders like J.P. Auclair and Xavier DeleRue, this helmet delivers enhanced coverage to handle the knarliest lines, rails, and jumps. The Remedy S' EPS foam liner takes the impact of brutal hits. The flow through design sucks air in the front of the helmet and lets it out 14 vents for on-the-fly ventilation. A removable visor offers further protection and keeps the sun out of your eyes while being towed into backcountry kickers.
Bottom Line: The Remedy S Helmet provides serious protection for rails, jumps and lines with serious consequences.
very light and comfortable helmet, fits perfectly with my crowbars. good looks. i have only used this helmet for mountain biking thus far, the ventilation is sufficient at speed in all but the warmest weather so i would assume will be great once winter hits. i bought this helmet as a freeride/big mtn helmet and as an addition to my bad lieutenant, my range of movement is decreased slightly by the chin guard which i think will make switch riding a little trickier though not impossible. that said i definitely would not take this into the park. a steal at this price.
The Giro Remedy S Comp Helmet's fit and finish is superb. It's plush bolsters cushion your head and hold it firmly with no gaps under the helmet (at least on my head). One upcoming problem with SOME Giro helmets is the fit of goggles along the forehead. As Giro is now producing their own goggle lineup, som helmet are engineered to fit only Giro product. This helmet, however, is not in that group. My Smith's and Oakleys both fit very in this helmet.
My only complaint is the cheek bolsters (which are removable), are a little snug on my face. But hey, no wind will burn my cheeks this year!
Just spent a couple of days on the slopes in Fernie, BC with this helmet. The way I snowboard, I end up on my head often enough. This helmet did a great job. It is really light on the head and the fit is excellent. Looks pretty mean too.
My only issues with the helmet are the following:
1) not all goggles will fit - I bought a new pair of Oakley A-Frames that I cannot use with this helmet
2) Ear vents let alot of cold air in when sitting on the chairlift or in a wicked crosswind
3) When stopped and breathing heavily after a good, steep pitch, your breath deflects off the chin guard and onto the outside of your goggles. This goes away immediately as you start your descent, but it is annoying nonetheless.
All in all, a great purchase.
