Review of the Giro G10: very snug and surprisingly
warm!
A good quality ski helmet is of utmost important when you're flying down a mountain at 50MPH. One wrong move
with improper headgear and you've got yourself a long term injury. Skimping on a ski helmet is just asking for a
visit to the hospital, or worse. Let's not think about that.
 Let's think about something more positive. Let's think about awesome quality helmets.
There's a great option for skiers out there that won't break the bank, and that's the Giro G10. This helmet
will treat you well for a long time, while giving you peace of mind knowing your noggin is being protected.
It's got a polycarbonate shell that's very durable, and combined with the impact-absorbing foam liner, you get
the best protection from injuries money can buy. That means fewer trips to the hospital, and more trips
hurdling down your favorite snow covered mountain.
The G10's in-mold construction lets it be light weight, while still being of good quality. You won't ever feel
constricted by this helmet. It's amazingly comfortable nature means it will get out of your way while you're
breezing down the slopes. It fits nice and snug, so you won't feel like your skull is rattling around in it either.
It feels more like an extension of you than it does a helmet. You might not even notice it's on.
I once fell asleep with the G10 on and woke up wondering why my head felt so big. Then I realized I had the helmet
on all night! I felt very silly, but I realized that day how much I loved my G10. My wife divorced me shortly
after, citing my love of my Giro G10 as the primary motivating factor. What can I say? It came down to a choice
between my love of the G10 and my love of my wife. I picked the G10. Maybe if she had been as light...
Anyway, I digress. Let's get back to the features.
 The visibility with the G10 is very good, so you won't have any problems making
those split-second decisions that can mean the difference between landing a jump and landing on your behind. I
once spotted a mama bird feeding its children in a nest from 200 yards while skiing. I then ran into the guy
in front of me, causing a pretty big pileup on the slope. I guess what I'm trying to say is that while the
visibility in the helmet is great, you still have to look around you every once in a while.
Another factor that is often overlooked is the quality of the air vents. Seriously, these things are AMAZING. They
make temperature control perfect, allowing you to be comfortable at all times. You know that gross, stale air
feeling you get in some helmets after you wear them for too long? Yeah, this helmet doesn't have that. The in-mold
construction let the helmet be constructed in such a way as to have the best ventilation on the market, so even
after long hours of skiing you'll feel cool and refreshed, rather than sweaty and gross.
Let's talk downsides. Overall, this helmet is absolutely great, but it has a couple of minor cons. The first is
that the chin strip is a bit short. This probably won't be a problem for most people, but occasionally it can be a
bit tricky to get it to fit around a large head. The second is that the G10 is, frankly, kind of ugly. This helmet
won't win you any fashion points, but it will keep your head from looking like Frankenstein when you run into that
tree. The question is whether you want to look good while on the slope, or after. I pick the latter. I've seen a
few reviews that even say it looks good, so maybe it's just personal taste.
All in all, the Giro G10 is great choice if you're looking for a good quality, light weight, comfortable helmet.
You can buy it in most retail stores or online. There are also plenty of reviews online which confirm its status as
a great helmet. So what are you waiting for? Go get the Giro G10 ski helmet and you'll never look back!
