I have an old Giro 9. Its got removable earflaps, vents all over the top, and i love it. I upgraded it this year by taking earbuds and sewing them into the earflaps. I think its better and definently lighter than the new ones.

I will always wear a helmet and always have. I saw a guy have a seizure because he wasn't wearing a helmet, was the scariest thing i've ever seen.

Red makes this old skool skateboard things!! The red Hi fi are the prettiest, u can take it with or without headphones. The one with headphones are uckly tho. But buy and hi fi without and than u buy these headphone earpats cause u can easily click them in ur helmet.

i got a pretty nasty concussion over the weekend.

my giro 9 cracked all the way through in about a 3 inch long fracture, but for sure the helmet did its job and saved my life

i want to get a bern but looking at them they are not as safe as the giros and would not protect me as well if i was to get another concussion as bad as i did. the berns are dope, but im think of just upgrading with a discount to a new g10

I have a g10 and it's really comfy, but they do cost almost 140 so if you like the look and have the dough pick one up, but giro makes ones that are like 65-70 and look really nice, but giro makes solid helmets, i used an atmos when i ride my bike and the g10 on the snow

RED hifi helmets are real nice, super comfy and light weight. The headphones for them are very quality.

My Bad LT. is for the snowy days, my Red Hi-fi for sunny and leedom for skiing with my dad's friends.. It's all about the adjustable venting though, Gawd Damn! Nothing like NOT splitting your skull and still having the wind run through your hair...
