Giro Fuse Snow Helmet

I've used this helmet for about 12-15 days of skiing so far. I find that it is comfortable, light enough in weight, warm enough, but not overly so. When it is really cold, you can use the removable ear pieces, close the top vents, and wear a thin balaclava under the helmet. When it is much warmer, you can remove the ear pieces, open the top vents, and do without the balaclava. Really, very comfortable and I think it looks great too.

Like the helmet - light weight, comfortable, both warm and cool, but I found out that the way the hard plastic shell wraps around the foam at the rim leaves no padding to a forehead impact. A face plant on a groomer left me with a huge goose egg and a spectacular black eye. Probably would not have had any problems with no helmet at all, but the Fuse concentrated the impact to a single point on my forehead.

Bought for color, kept for awesomeness! Fits perfectly - I have a huge head and doesn't bother me at all, even with a skull cap underneath. And mostly don't even need a cap underneath, warm enough without, but in extremely cold temps, was nice to have. Vents work easily - easy to open and clothes even when helmet is on.

This is one of the best helmets out there. It is very light, yet durable and has a handy ventilation system that can be opened or closed with one switch. This is perfect for varying temperature conditions. when it is hot, just click over the switch to open the vents and as you ride, the wind will cool your head down adequately.

I purchased this helmet for my wife. She is on the slopes 3 to 4 times a week and I was concerned about other less experienced people causing an accident. First we went to several stores and could not find the style she liked in her size (large). Amazon offered the style, color and brand with easy open vents. She was reluctant to wear a helmet at first so it took some time to talk her in to it. Now she loves it. She reports it is light weight, fits well and is comfortable. She wears it very time she hits the slopes. In cold weather she uses a baklava under the helmet. The easy open vents should add to comfort in the spring time.Best of all I worry less about her safety on the slopes.

This is a great helmet especially the way the vents are managed. But unfortunately it's been discontinued so grab this one up while you can!

I love the Giro Fuse helmet. It is so light you can barely tell you're wearing anything on your head. It also keeps your head very warm.
