Super comfy, very light, works well with my smith phenom goggles and probably most any other kind of goggle. Button snap goggle strap on the back works awesome unlike alot of the plastic clip ones, or you could wear goggles underneath it if your one of those hood-rat fellows whatever floats your boat.

I realize this is not Giro's top of the line helmet, but I expected a little better paddding quality and much better sound quality (the sound quaility is really bad!). The right ear pad keeps falling out of it's slot/position and it a bit of a nuisance. I purchaed the helmet due to it's dual usage as a bike helmet.

I received the encore helmet this morning (Tommy Czechin version). The helmet comes with three different sets of removable interior pads, each a different thickness, so you can adjust the fit reasonably well. My first impression is positive.

I did have one issue - the helmet description said that it included the Tune-ups audio ear-pads, but the item I received had only the standard ear-pads. Amazon said that this was a mistake, that it should have included the audio ear-pads, but that there were no more of this size / color in-stock. So far I have decided to keep the helmet anyway instead of returning it, but beware if you are ordering this and you care about the audio - the deal may not be as good as it seems (I think you can buy the Tune-ups separately, but not from amazon).

Helmet is extremely comfortable and light, only negative thing about the helmet is the paint scuffs very easily.

I tried multiple helmets at a Sports Authority store and found it (Encore 2) the most comfortable one. It is even better than many $150+ helmets from Soloman, K2 etc. For a frequent skier like me (on the mountain every weekend), I need a helmet that I can wear very often and for long hours each time. And this is the one. (Note: Be sure to get Encore "2" as it improves a lot from the original Encore series). Last but not least, the design on this one (Risto Matteilla Signature)is cool. Anyway, no complaint on this product or Amazon's service (delivered in 2 days with free shipping) whatsoever.

Great helmet for a low low price! It's already helped me from hitting my head once! No need for a helmet liner it's plenty warm but cool enough for warmer days! Great helmet for all mountain or hitting up the park! A+++

I just got this helmet last week, so far no major complaints keeps me warm, the the 2 things I have to say is that I had to do some research to find my size, and also that the strap is a bit short. I purchased the medium and my head is between a medium and a large, I didnt want something to loose, but the strap is a bit short and I am concerned that the latch may come off. But overall its pretty good, and I just ordered the audio tuneups for it.

The helmet it great. I had to go to the manufacturers website to get a size chart (I think Amazon needs to include those!). The helmet fit great, its snug and warm on the slopes. Came in handy while I was learning to snowboard.
