So on giros web site they have the giro remedy for dirtbiking and the remedy s for snow.  They look like the exact same helmet on the website other than the colors.  Does anyone know if there are any differences or working in a shop that you could check out this question in person.  I would but there isnt a shop with these helmets within 500 miles of me.  Info would be helpfull. Thanks

I'm guessing warmth and the little clip on the back for the goggle strap.  The major differene I think would be the foam though.  Bike helmets are usually one major impact and you need a new one, as opposed to snow helmets which are usually multi-impact foams.  I'm not completely sure though, because a full face might hae different foam than most bike helmets.

Yes, the padding is different, to answer your question.  The Remedy and Remedy CF, both bike helmets have less cushion padding and more venting since it is worn in hot weather.  The Remedy S, which I owned for a brief period, has much thicker lining and is a huge helmet.

I was under the impression that eps foam was multi impact.  Maybe I thought wrong...

Good thing I know this now. Might've hurt myself in the future without this knowledge.
