The Bad Lt, very cool. The 9 or the MX is always a good choice, as well as the new G10. Thats pretty much if for Giro.

Head is making a Jon Olsson pro which, let me tell you, is snazzy looking. Same with RED's stuff. Check it out.

The full faced one in Yearbook, I can't remember the name, but its on the site.

I didn't mention that because I though you were lookin for a park style thing. But I guess so.

As for TuneUps with other companies, Yes and No. You can get that companies style of in earpad headphones, but the Giro TuneUps are only compatiable for Giro.

Giro Flint is what it used to be, the new one is called the Mad Max S I believe.

^red uses a differnt shell, the are supposed to last, but it wont protect you as well from a BIG crash, where giro is ment to take that big one and thats it, if that makes sence

the hi fi might look nice, but it is made out of the cheapest material, if you are doing serious skiing then i wouldnt sugest one of them. 9 mx is what i rock and i like it a lot... the new giros are looking pretty nice too

i hate to brake the news, but red uses the cheapest foam in their helmets, so depending on how much fall, you might have to buy a new helmet a lot.

the mad max S , which is giro's TRUE full face, is great, but only if its cold, because its based off the MB helmet they have, all they did was fill in the vents.... so it can get kinda hot under there.

Otherwise, the 9MX is the shit, and i need to get tuneups for it!
