Durable and hip
Great helmet for my 12 year old. She needed a larger helmet but the adult ones on the local market were too big. This one is so adjustable it will last for years of skiing fun (and safety).
Loved the bright/neon green/yellow color, it is SO easy to find her on the slopes now!
I like that it is very adjustable. She can wear the helmet alone or with a thin beanie or even a balaclava when it's really cold.

Awesome Helmet
Awesome helmet at a great price. Giro is the only way to go when it comes to quality helmets. I just came back from a trip in Utah and used the helmet for the first time and i was really impressed how good it was.

Awesome Helmet
My Aunt and Uncle have been telling me for years to get a helmet. I finally caved and bought the G10. Granted I've never owned a helmet, but this thing rocks! Great size for my head. Amazing comfort, and looks awesome. I would recommend this hands down to anyone looking for a great helmet.
January 29, 2012
Excellent buy!
Bought this helmet for my boyfriend for christmas, and he loved it! Fits really well, keeps his head warm, and is the perfect way to stay safe on the slopes. Would recommend this helmet to anyone. Definitely worth the price!

Giro G10
Excellent fit and venting with this helmet! This is my first helmet and I have all positive things to say about this product and supplier. Great products and the right price all delivered correctly and on time.

Great helmet Great price Quick shipping - Vertical adjustment makes it easy to allow for different goggles and headband adjustment makes it easy to adjust for different headwear like hats masks and buffs

Great helmet, very light weight
I needed something lightweight, durable and stylish at the same time and this was the perfect choice for me. This season i am starting to learn how to ride park and do jumps and other tricks. I needed the right helmet for the job and this is definitely it. I recommend this to anyone.
January 2, 2012
Well worth the price
Extremely comfortable helmet, sizing adjustment dial works well and doesn't slip. The different levels of venting actually make a considerable amount of difference heat wise (Fully Open, Half Open, Fully Closed). Fairly resilient shell- I bought a bright color with a glossy finish and initially I was worried it wouldn't hold up to regular wear and tear but it's done better than I would have expected, some scuffs show but not much else. Overall- Great Helmet I'd buy it again in a second.
December 16, 2011
Wonderful helmet! Have had my white one for 2 years and love it and bought my brother one for this ski season! I picked the pewter for him and he loves it with his Giro goggles as well. I was worried about a white helmet getting dirty, but it looks perfectly new and clean! Great price as well for the quality!

would have looked good in this helmet. very cool w/solid construction and features. optic green color makes a statement on the slopes or at prom (depending on your date).
September 10, 2011
Great Buy
I've been able to test this helmet in multiple riding seasons now and definitely recommend it. It keeps my head warm and works with my goggles. It is also very light and I do not notice it when I turn my head at all. Overall, it does not make me hesitant to go the extra few seconds and put it on. A little bit pricey, but it's worth the comfort.

Love this helmet, but love Altrec more!
Found this helmet at store in Whistler, didn't want to pay full price and was so happy to find it on Altrec. Great service, prompt shipping, everything as promised. Thank you!

G10 worth the extra money
I've had a G9 for the past few years (large) that kept pushing my goggles down my nose so this season I opted to upgrade to a medium G10. Although tough to throw down money for a piece of gear I already own, I am glad I did for many reasons. My new G10 fits great with or without a beanie on and kept my ears warm without muffling out my hearing. All the vents open by sliding a lever (G9 had little covers in each vent you had to remove); and although well vented, there was still enough open space to stick my GoPro camera mounts. Supposedly the Giro helmets are made to fit with the Giro goggles but I have yet to find a shop that carries them to see if it is even worth replacing my Oakleys.
March 15, 2011
Worth the extra money
This helmet is just great for two reasons: 1. adjustable inside sizing and 2. adjustable vents. The adjustable sizing makes it fit your noggin perfectly, while not being too tight, which helps when wearing earphones while skiing. The adjustable vents allow you to adjust to the weather and keep your noggin the exact right temperature. It's $30 or so more than the G9 which doesn't have either. Just spend the $30 -- you'll love it.

Great fit. Great style. I'm not fond of hats or helmets but this helmet is so comfortable and lightweight... You don't even realize it's on. The vents are a great feature too. Great service as well... Got my order just days after I placed it. Can't forget the price... Cheapest I saw.
February 13, 2011
Great Find!
The fit is exactly as stated - the quality of the helmet has surpassed our expectations - and the price was the best found on the web. We are extremely satisfied with the product, and with Altrec.com. What a great find - we are sure to return the site to purchase more of our outdoor gear!

Great helmet
Awesome helmet! Sizing chart is spot on. Comfort and functionality top notch. Altrec customer service is second to none.
The helmet exceeded my expectations.

best fit!
Gave this to my husband! He loves the fit and comfort of this helmet!
The price is great and you provided fast shipping and service! Highly recommend!

Great Helmet
This is a great helmet. It is very lightweight. I had never used a helmet before, but after my first trip down the mountain I forgot I was even wearing one. It just feels like I am wearing a beanie. The vents are very easy to open and close, even with gloves on. When I get hot and open them I can really feel the airflow all the way around my head. I wear the medium. I have a fairly small head for a man (wear 7 1/4 fitted ball cap), but the easy to turn size adjuster located in the back allows for a wide variety of head sizes and shapes. It also allows me to wear a beanie underneath on those really cold night trips. My only "complaint" is that the earpieces aren't quite as warm and fuzzy as my girlfriend's Junior G9. I can't really review the durability since I have only had the helmet for a few weeks, but I hit the back of my head on ice pretty good the other day and didn't feel a thing. This helmet was definitely worth buying.

G10
Great Helmet, but even better customer service by Altrec. My came with a small scratch, it was replaced without any problem. I have used Giro in the past and this helmet seems even better. I would highly recommend this product.
January 31, 2011
Super stylish and awesome protection
I tried this helmet on elsewhere, but when I was ready to buy, my size was sold out. Luckily, Altrec had it in my size for a raging price. They shipped it exactly when promised. The helmet is wicked cool and the venting switch works great when it's not super cold, and warm when it is. Can't say anything bad about Altrec or Giro. They're both great. Kudos Altrec!
January 23, 2011
Amazing!!!
Great design, Lightweight, Great on a hot day with easy ventilation settings, Low Profile!!!!
January 17, 2011
excellent helmet
The G10 has great padding and is very comfortable. The helmet vents are easy to open and close with a small lever. I appreciate the low profile fit and the rear retainer adjustment. With the comfort and vent system, I will wear this helmet on cold days and hot days as well.
January 13, 2011
Great Helmet
I bought this helmet for my son and he loves it. Great fit and comfort. I highly recommend it.
January 5, 2011
Comfortable helmet
This helmet is very comfortable with very soft lining inside. It is great b/c it can be adjusted to fit your head better (tighter). I also like a lot the vents that can be closed or open. This allows me to feel comfortable (not too hot nor too cold) without taking my helmet off.
January 4, 2011
Good helmet
Helmet has nice features. Ability to open vent; size control. Fits me well and comfortably.
January 3, 2011
Nice but not for me....
I liked every feature that this helmet has but it just didnt fit me right. I think I am in between sizes and just found that the Smith has a better fit for me. That being said, I definitely would have kept it if it had fit me but after a day of use I was able to swap it for something else thanks to Altrec's great customer service.

G10
After trying out several helmets this one fit my head the best without making me look like a bobble-head. While I'm not looking forward to taking my first spill of the season, at least I know my noggin will be protected
December 8, 2010
Great
Helmet looks better than pictured. Comfortable and durable. Easily adjusts to a custom fit.

Comfortable, durable and stylish helmet
The Giro G10 is a great helmet. I tried numerous other ones and this one is the best value on the market. No issues whatsoever.

Nice look, great fit, and good price.
I have this with the blue tooth setup and it works like a charm.

Great Helmet!
Helmet fits great. Adjustable sizing allows for a snug fit, and the easy access vent control is nice on the hill. Expensive but overall a great helmet!

Love This Product!
Great Ski Helmet! I bought it for my son and he loved it. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great Helmet
I have had this helmet for 2 years now. It is very comfortable and keeps my head insulated from the blustery cold and from the heat of sunny Spring days. Last Spring, I fell at high speed and hit a boulder, head-first, with this helmet on. The rest of me was hurting, but my head was fine. This helmet did its job.
March 6, 2010
Great helmet
My first helmet for skiing, I was worried that my head would be cold without a hat. I wore just the helmet and a windproof balaclava which kept my head and ears warm all day (0-10F and ~10mph winds). I did not try the ventilation switch.
January 31, 2010
Nice helmet
Nice helmet. Very easy to fit. My Oakley O frame goggles fit well without any gap at the top. The ventilation works very well also.
January 22, 2010
Great helmet
Just what I was looking for - wonderful fit and very light.

Stylish Lightweight Helmet
The design of this helmet look GOOD! Very comfortable and keeps your head warm while riding. It's also lightweight unlike some of the other helmets I have tried on. Highly recommended!

This is a light, warm, and comfortable helmet. Very pleased with product as well as Altrec's fast shipping.

Giro Helmet Lt Blue
The helmet fit very well. A little cool around the ears on a cold windy day - other wise nice and warm. Like the color and style. The customer service staff was very helpful.
December 18, 2009
Amazing Helmet
The vents really allow heat to leave and provides a very comfortable fit for all day riding. I would recommend this helmet!
November 30, 2009
Great helmet
Easy adjustments to achieve a perfect fit. Lower profile and light weight make the G10 a helmet you'll look forward to wearing day after day. No more excuses for skiing unprotected. I ordered this helmet over the phone. The customer service people couldn't have been more helpful! Great helmet, great shopping experience.
October 27, 2009
Excellent
I am very happy with the helmet. It was advertised properly and it is very comfortable for my (large) head.

December 18, 2008
GREAT HELMET!!
I extensively researched helmets and tried on a good number of them, including the G9, Fuse, Omen, Smith and Protec models. This model had by far the best fit (low profile) and easiest adjustment system. I bought one with the Motorola wireless system and it works AWESOME!! I was simply hoping for respectable music quality, but got much more. No issues with BT connectivity and the ability to switch to phone from music via the earpieces while on the slopes or the chair was fantastic. Microphone worked fine for outgoing calls as well! I would HIGHLY recommend this helmet.
December 9, 2008
Great helmet
I already had this helmet, but it was a larger size and wearing out. I used your sizing chart and it fits perfectly. Great price.
October 13, 2008
Gets The Job Done.
I have Scott goggles, and it fits around the helmet perfectly. That was one of my concerns when getting a helmet. Other than that, this helmet is nothing fancy except the vents to keep your dome cool. I'm 5'5 135 lbs. The XS was a good fit.
October 2, 2008
Great Helmet and great price!
Got this helmet for my wife, and she loves it. We got it when it was the Deal of the day. Got the stereo ear pad's that REI was clearing out for $7, and we're talking a awesome combo for less that $50. Fit and finish are great. It's got the lever on top to adjust the airflow. As others have stated before, it is the 06 model and the only difference is the adjustable headband (not included on this one.) In any case, the helmet fits her fine. It's for the strap in the back to hold her goggles in place... The only problem is there is a small gap in between her helmet and goggles. It's probably more of a result of the goggles she was using. The Oakley Stockholm's have a tiny gap in the center vs the Spy Comet's which had a larger gap.
April 10, 2008
Great service
Our son has this helmet and raves about how comfortable, warm, light, and easy it is to wear. Seems natural for us to have one with all the tree skiing we do. Thanks for the quick delivery and great price.
April 10, 2008
Great lightweight helmet
This is my first helmet purchase and I have to admit, I was nervous about how it would fit and feel. I looked at the size chart for the G10, measured my noggin and ordered! It is lightweight, comfortable and fits great! It feels no different than wearing a hat. I'd highly recommend it!
March 10, 2008
Great Helmet
After 30+ years of skiing I realized that I have been flirting with disaster not wearing a brain bucket. I looked at and tried out a bunch and found that the G10 was lightweight, comfortable, cool on the warm days and warm on the not so warm days and provided me with the protection needed.
March 9, 2008
Great helmet - Event better price
the G10 helmet is so light, you tend to forget you even have it on. the vent system works very well and prevents your head from overheating ... the removable ear-liners are a nice plus.
February 26, 2008
Nice
I ordered a size small which fits my 54.6cm head perfectly. I can't even tell that I have a helmet on. Very well built helmet. The newer model does have an adjustable headband, which some may like. Great price on an older model though. Just as warm as any hat in my experience.
February 20, 2008
Great helmet
I just bought this helmet and used it for the first time 2 weeks ago. By far, the most comfortable helmet of all the one's I tried (and I tried on a bunch). Perfect fit, good looks. Haven't tried, or needed to, yet - but the fact that the earpads are removable is a nice extra benefit.
February 20, 2008
G10 Helmet, great for skiin or snowboarding
The G10 helmet is great. It provides great protection as well as warmth. It is a great fit.
February 19, 2008
Excellent
Very comfortable. I love the vents which allow the wearer to open for air or close when cold. I just wish I had splurged for the bluetooth model so I could use my Ipod and cell phone with it!
February 17, 2008
Great
Perfect size, comfortable and durable. Very happy
February 14, 2008
I LOVE this helmet!
I ski professionally as a mountain guide, and LOVE this helmet. Giro has made great improvements in fit with the new adjusting system. I love the quick vent openings, so I don't get overheated. Great visibility, and good fit with goggles which stay secure. I like the fact that this helmet fits a bit lower profile than the Fuse, which I had previously. I don't feel like I look so much like a "bobble head." I went with the more feminine look of the women's model, with just a little pink, and a nice pinkish, pearly sheen. I liked the flat white, too, which may be more versatile. But, I have to admit, it's nice to look like a girl when you're skiing with all the guys.
February 8, 2008
Great Helmet
I wasn't too sure about buying a helmet online before I tried it on. This helmet conformed very well and kept me very warm. It was really a great buy.
February 2, 2008
comfortable but cooler then expected
I had been using a solid helmet for 8 years and in the warm weather it was simply too hot. The G10 is comfortable for my bald skull but at 12 degree F or cooler it is too cool even with the vents closed. A balaclava with a thin skull cap on it is my solution.
January 29, 2008
Lightweight and warm
I just used this helmet in below zero temperatures and the helmet performed great. I like the quick ability to open the vents. In buying the helmet I was misled that it was a new model with the adjustable headband, which I would have prefered. Be careful of the sizing as it has changed with the newer models.
January 20, 2008
Love this helmet!
A friend loaned me this helmet last season, since I'd never worn a helmet and wasn't sure what kind to get. It fit perfectly and I loved how warm I stayed, while having great ventilation at the same time! So this season I ordered one for myself from Altrec and I ride so much better now, with the security of knowing I'm safe from whacking my head, thanks to this helmet! I also love that I can add the earpieces into the helmet, which is great for my mobile phone which also doubles as an mp3 player. So I can listen to music and take important calls, while on the slopes!
January 13, 2008
GREAT
Bought one for myself and one for my wife. We both give them a 10.
January 7, 2008
Comfortable, warm, excellent fit
Up 'till this point, I hadn't bought in to the helmet craze that has been sweeping the slopes. I was too manly for a helmet. However, after seeing a friend take a horific fall in a Breckenridge glade, I decided it was time to get one. I tried on several brands and models and decided on the G10. I found it to be an excellent blend of price, features and comfort. After skiing for 2 days in Beaver Creek, I am a huge fan of the G10. The fit was excellent. So good that I forget I was wearing a helmet. It feels just like a hat and just as warm. We skied in heavy snow and the ability to change venting with the flick of a button was nice. Heavy wind and snow, close the vents. No snow, skiing hard, sweating, open the vents. Bottom line, I am now a fan of skiing helmets and won't hit the slopes again without my G10.
January 6, 2008
Good design and functionality
G10 has a good design and functionality. I think it is also very useful for children / junior because it's weight is very light. Delievering is so fast^^
January 6, 2008
Perfect Fit
I love the G10 Helmet. It is the perfect, light, comfertable helmet. The venthilation system works super.
September 29, 2007
AWESOME HELMET
I couldn't be more pleased with my G10. Its comfy, light and looks great. It kept my head warm and dry even though it was snowing all day. If you are considering a helmet look no further. Altrec's service is 2nd to none. FAST SHIPPING!
February 17, 2007
Great Helmet
fits perfectly, comfortable, light weight and looks great. Great service from Altrec as well - delivered in 2 days!
January 10, 2007
So Comfortable
I tried on several helmets and this one was by far the most comfortable. I personally don't care about the extra features but the helmet is feature rich with it's easy switch ventilation and it's audio compatibility. I bought the Giro helmet in Matte Pewter color. I think the color is a very neutral color - feminine enough for a girl and masculine enough for a guy. My only complaint is that the strap doesn't tighten quite as much as I would like, but I can tighten it a little further by extending the material that the strap is attached to a little past the clip. Normally, it takes me forever to decide on the perfect product, but this purchase was a no-brainer!
December 16, 2006
MUST HAVE FOR THIS SEASON
I bought this helmet last year. I never thought I would wear a helmet. This helmet is light I didn't even feel I was wearing one. The ventilation system is great as well.
December 5, 2006
Well made; Great look; and Great Adustable Ventilation System
I've tried it on and it fits well. It's well made and looks great! I love the ventilation system. I would have liked the chin strap to adjust a little tighter. My head must be between large and x-large in this particular helmut. With no snow in Dallas and little in Angel Fire, NM right now, I may have to test it next winter.
March 8, 2006
Great Helmet
I looked into many helmets and after trying them on, and checking reviews, this was by far the best. I've used it twice once in 10 degree weather while dumping snow, and the other in 40 degree warm sunny weather, and the temp was PERFECT in both scenarios. Definitely worth the extra $ from the nine.
February 21, 2006
Great!
Considering I was a first time snowboarder, this helmet came in very handy. My head met with the snow several times and I'm sure that the helmet kept me from the clinic! Would highly recommend.
