I want to start off by saying, yes, I have used the search bar.  Now that that's out of the way, please help me pick between these two helmets.  Any input or personal experience is extremely welcome and will be rewarded with favors!

Giro G10 MX Audio

I know the ^ site is out of stock, this is just an example.



and by the way, I have Electric EG5's and Oakley A-Frames.  Does anyone know how they fit with these?  Thanks.

I'm pretty sure both helmets have the same speakers but i might be wrong.  I do know that they're both skullcandy though.

I just got my Giro G10, its sick. The speakers are amazing. It fits SO comfy, I was stunned. It looks really steezy too.

I've not tried the other one on but like has been said, the Giro is ridiculously comfy, the whole of the inside is padded

I have the RED and it's simply the lightest helmet on earth. It looks good and it's comfy.

Haha, i love how split everyone is between these two helmets.  I'm kinda leaning towards the Giro myself now. Why would you have regretted it?

I had the RED and used my friends G10, both are really nice.  Both will break on one hard impact, the red is comforable and warm as hell, id go with that

To me reds make your head look bulbous and out of place on your body.

the RED is hella tight as long as you have big goggles to make it size down the helmet. i got the oakley wisdoms and they look sick on em. plus the skull candy headfones have an unbeatable bass man.

so goddamn close. they must be good helmets.  Does anybody know if they both have skullcandy speakers?  i know they both have scullcandy "technology" but i'm not sure about the speakers themselves.

i literary just got the giro G 10 with the tuneups yesterday. Its the greatest thing ever. The speakers are loud enough so you can crank it when you want to really rock out. But when you talk to you friends you can turn it down by the remote clipped to your jacked. Plus the fact that you can hook it to your cell at the same time as your ipod is pretty bad ass.

Did i mention how COMFORTABLE IT IS. Its amazing. Best helmet EVER.

well isn't the g9 cheaper than the g10? and the helmet itself is very nice. i'm just getting the added music function too.  plus, no helmet can protect you from ALL falls. how did you fall?

dude pick the one that fits best! personally i cant wear giros. i have the hifi and love it. so light, so comfy. im asking for audex earpads for christmas. and if your head is small the huge head phenomenon wont be an issue.

well i don't have anywhere to try it on. but im getting a giro mtn bike helmet which fits perfectly. so i'm assuming the snow helmet should fit similarly.
