probably the best review of a helmet would come from someone who was wearing it during a hard fall, especially if that person is both an ER doctor and snowboarder. i think that despite it's attractive looks the G10 may not be the best helmet for snowboarders, who seem more likely to take a backward fall than skiers. i myself suffered a pretty serious concussion after catching my back edge while riding some flats at average speed--a routine fall i would say. while i probably would have sustained a more serious injury without the helmet, i think the straps are too far forward to most effectively protect you during a backward fall. the helmet seems to slide forward onto your forehead, leaving the back of your skull more vulnerable. its good points--the helmet is certainly looks good and keeps your head warm. if you do purchase the G10--or any helmet for that matter--be sure to adjust the straps as snugly as possible. i personally will be searching for a helmet that better protects the back of my head.

This is my 3rd ski helmet and so far the best. I originally bought this helmet for how it fit my head and and goggles (A-Frames) and was very impressed with how it preformed in the cold. It is warm and the adjustable vents do help control the airflow. For my head it is a perfect fit.

Where this helmet really preforms is in protection though. I ski hard and occasionally fall hard. Recently though I took a hard spill while wearing this helmet and still got knocked out. The helmet is dented slightly, but still absorbed most of the impact. I tell you If I didn't wear a helmet I would be dead or at least a vegetable.

Simply put if you want a fine piece of equipment that preforms Buy this helmet.

I bought this helmet last year, so have gotten several weeks of skiing with it already. It not only fits great, but keeps my head warm...not sure why I was so resistant to the idea of wearing one for so long! There's a snap in the back, to keep the goggles from falling off, which is great. The adjustable vent is a nice feature for cooling down during warmer days (or harder runs) and for staying warm on chair lifts. Using a lycra helmet "hat" under it helps keep the face warm & the helmet fitting more snugly.

This is a great helmet . We were refered to it by our ski instructors who never fail to have the newest and finest in equipment. This is no exception. Your shipping and timeing is great. Thank you.

Bought this helmet for my son, who is very happy with it. Fits well, comfortable, no complaints about using it.

My wife loves this helmet - it's warm, comfortable and protects her head...and it's pink. The only small imperfection is that she has curly hair that was getting stuck inside - but we've fixed this with a thin head warmer.
