Great Helmet   01-21-08
Anonymous: rating
I own the G10 Olenick Pro Model, and it's a great product. It fits extremely well, is comfortable, and looks great. The vents work spectacularly, and the helmet is very well cushioned. Keep in mind, however, that only Giro goggles will work perfectly with this helmet. I own a pair of Anon Realms and there is a very annoying gap present, yet when I wear my Scott goggles the gap goes away.

I'm on my second one   01-20-09
Francis D. (7): rating
I rode the G10 for about 3 seasons and then hit my head pretty good one day. There were no visible cracks, but I figured it was time for a replacement. The new version comes with a retention system just like the Giro bike helmets, so the fit is even better with the new lid. The venting system rocks, keep it closed up on cold days or cold mornings, then open it up on the fly as the temp increases or as you start lapping the park, trees, or bumps. Good style too.

Giro G10 is Great   01-12-09
Greg Long (1): rating
I really love my G10, it's light, very comfortable and works great with my Smith goggles and glasses. I hardly know I have it on. My wife and son have G10's too and are very happy as well. I highly recommend this helmet.

giro g10 helmet   01-03-09
hrtzllcons@comcast.net (1): rating
ok helmet but vents at the rear have no diffuser allowing wind to directly access the back of the head ... very uncomfortable in windy conditions. At this price we shouldn't have to use foam and tape to make adjustments to make the gear work well.

Head rockin   02-18-08
SoCal leaving (5): rating
This helmet has been great. It was all I expected. I have used it through the glades and regrettably bounced it in the park. Both instances the helmet came through with flying colors. I can't compare to other helmets since this is my first, however I do like the G10.

Thunder Dome   10-26-08
Justin Latessa (19): rating
so I have a 64 CM dome, finding a helmet wasn't exactly easy. I rock the XXL and I left the size sticker on cause I'm proud of my huge cranium. Anyhow the helmet isn't to heavy, its warm, vent operates very easy with gloves on, chin strap is comfy, ear guard things are nice too. Overall very satisfied with it. I feel naked skiing without this thing now, and extremely less confident also.

Good Ski Helmet   07-08-09
Jacob Frackman (0): rating
The Giro G10 is a great helmet for pretty much all conditions. It fits very comfortably, it is good with goggles, and the ear pieces keep your ears very worm and protected. I would definitely recommend this helmet to any all mountain/all terrain skier.

Nice Helmet   06-10-09
Lindseyso (5): rating
I used my Giro G10 helmet all last season and loved it. I hardly knew I was wearing it and my Dragon DXS goggles fit perfectly. I like that you can fine-tune the size so I could customize it to whether I had a pony tail that day or not! I also added the TuneUps which are a good addition if you like listening to music. Recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable helmet.

Good and bad on this product   06-10-09
ericanddeb2123952 (5): rating
Didn't quite fit me right even though I have other Giro helmets in this size. Too low across the forehead. Also, it had an extensive liner that I really didn't need (I have lots of hair). The way that the liner covered up the vents ... not sure that the venting would work right. Opening and closing vents did not work well. But, it is very very light ... a good thing. I kept the Omen instead.

Impressive service!   05-23-09
syl3000227 (1): rating
Great helmet, very comfortable. But more important is the service from Backcountry. The first helmet came with a broken part. Backcountry did not hesitate to replace it. They sent the replacement even before getting the defective one back. They made the process so easy. Thanks very much! I will not hesitate to buy from here again.

Not a shipping break. The plastic part inside the helmut that holds the adjustment in place was not whole. Too much trouble to ship back.

Solid brain bucket.   04-15-09
Matt (13): rating
A solid, well-made helmet from Giro. Pretty comfortable, adjustable fit, adjustable venting. I added a wired Tune-Ups kit for audio; works great. Seems like it will do a good job protecting my skull from rogue snowboarders or my own stupidity. If you're questionable about size, order up. You can adjust the size down quite a bit. I was on the border of XL/XXL and got an XL (XXL was out of stock...) It fits me pretty well, but I have to have the adjustment all the way out and it's still a little tight sometimes in the back.

Nice Helmet   04-07-09
onl2991712 (3): rating
I am a first time helmet user and liked this one. My head measures at 59 cm and I got a large...it fit very well and the adjustment knob in the back snugs things up nicely. The helmet stays in place, holds goggles well and as a bonus it keeps you warm. Fortunately I did not have to test it out, but it seems very strong and feels like it would hold up well if any encounters with trees or rocks should occur!

Happy so far   04-05-09
holzer2194289 (1): rating
Love the adjustable dial to improve the fit! Lightweight. Great/ versatile color. Vents help let your head breathe, but helmet is not watertight should it rain. I got pretty soaked with the vents closed.

Bought it for my husband before our trip to Vail and Beaver Creek. He was happy his head was protected skiing through some trees. It was warm one day and he was very happy with all of the ventilation.

Very Good   03-15-09
Howard Worton (38): rating
The only negative thing I can think of to say about the G10 is that it does not have a chinbar and after some of my crashes I think I probably need one :-) The adjustability is excellent, the build very good and it fits my square head shape very well. At the bargain price on here, it is too good to miss.

LET DOWN AGAIN by GIRO   03-12-09
sep2789556 (2): rating
If this had not happened to me on another GIRO product, then I would have given this helmet such a LOW rating. The forward anchors for the fit adjustment system have consistantly (3rd GIRO helmet)broken loose from the foam they are in above the temple. Otherwise the helmet is great. Just not a favorite of mine.

Love It!   02-23-09
nip100282017 (1): rating
Overall, the helmet was awesome! I love the lightness of the helmet and how you can actually hear people talk through the ear pieces. The ventilation system on top was perfect, but it did stick a little. I would recommend this product to anyone seeking a helmet!

Bulky   02-19-09
spa2749349 (6): rating
I ordered the Cranberry/White (W's) helmet, and admit I ordered a L when I should have gotten a M... But it is just a big helmet with a large profile. I ended up going with a Giro Ember (women's) and it's much more sleek and also has soft and fuzzy ear pads and chin strap!

Does the trick!   02-15-09
reciii2084559 (2): rating
Just boarded in blizzard conditions and it kept me cozy with or without my pull-over face mask, and when doing back flips into deep poweder. When the Sun came out I was able to adjust the vents with my gloves on. Skull fit was good with the dial-in adjustment and it had a tight fit with my Goggles of another brand. My only issue is with the fit system and my glasses. It is hard to get the glasses back in after removing them (to defog) because clamping assembly grabs my head that low.

Cool - Literally   01-09-09
wol100238357 (1): rating
I usually get very hot when skiing, and perspire a lot. I was therefore a bit apprehensive about wearing a helmet - any helmet. The venting on this G10 works very well. Unless it is very cold or snowing heavily, I ski with the vents open all the time. (In seriously cold weather you could wear a thin beanie under the helmet). This is a very comfortable helmet and I do not even know it is there. No problem either using Smith Fuse goggles with the helmet. I would recommend this helmet to a friend!

Great Helmet   01-06-09
le.nhung791427 (1): rating
As the subject implies, great helmet. Good fit and the adjustable knob at the base of the helmet adjusts the helmet to your head to make for a perfect fit. Helmet keeps your head warm and protected from hard falls. I have oakleys and smiths and they both fit well to the helmet. My husband has the glossy finsih Giro and problem he has is the goggles slide off if he isn't wearing them. I don't have that problem with the matte finish.

Mine just saved my life   12-12-08
Justin (3): rating
Literally. Nothing to question, light, adjustable venting, audio option, great fit, and will actually save your head. I'd be dead right now instead of writing this review if it weren't for that helmet. I'll be buying another one as soon as I can ski again.

We love our Giro G10 helmet!   03-03-08
Margie S (1): rating
Tramdock's customer service is outstanding! They went above & beyond to overnight my helmet to me in time for a February ski trip after all stores in MA & New Hampshire were sold out! I called everywhere possible, and all told me they could not keep it in stock since it's one of the best helmets out there. The Giro G10 is perfect in every way; it's safe, comfortable, warm, and stylish. The pewter color is gorgeous! Sepia is also a great color, especially if you have a brown snow suit. My husband has the black and loves his too! It was an easy decision for us.

Awesome, Awesome Helmet.   11-03-08
bgw2525385 (1): rating
I got this helmet two seasons ago. All helmets save lives this one included. I am reckless and often ski on the edge of control. Trust me when I say This helmet can take many big falls and come out unscathed. The helmet is light, warm and, comfortable. I wear it all day without getting too hot or cold. It fits wonderfully with my A-Frames, little to no gap, and preforms. The best helmet I have worn to date. (This is my 4th helmet.) Simply put, a helmet is a key piece of ski gear for the reckless and the Giro G10 is a prime choice.
