Practical Investment
This helmet has now been used by my teen daughter several times and fits well. It stays in place well once adjusted correctly and holds the goggles with a snap clip which I think is a good idea for when the kids let their goggles dangle while carrying their helmets. My son has a different design/brand helmet and his goggles are always falling off. After trying this helmet on I decided to purchase an additional one for myself as we are trying to set a good example on safety for our children. I was surprised how comfortable the helmet was to wear while skiing. I really didn't even notice that I had it on and it didn't interfere with my vision as I was worried that it might.
Good helmet, well-priced, and so cute!
I bought this helmet after reading reviews and specs of similar Giro models, as well as a Burton RED helmet that I wore as a rental and liked. Deciding factors for me were: 1. A snowboard instructor recommended it, 2. It has more air vents than other helmets, 3. The design (orange tulips) was so cute, and 4. It was on sale. I wore it on the slope for the first time this past weekend, and was very happy with it. The different thicknesses of foam pads allowed me to create a comfortable fit, it worked well with my goggles, and the chin strap was comfortable. I was worried that it would feel heavy and cumbersome after a full day of riding (it's about 6-8 ounces heavier than most helmets) but it didn't. And I love the cute and distinctive design! I gave it 4 stars for durability and comfort b/c I haven't owned it long enough to judge the first, and my ear got a little chafed near the end from something - but I'm sure I could adjust something and fix that.
Very Happy with Purchase
Helmet fits comfortably. Pleasantly surprised to see special graphic detail on the backside of helmet.
Good looking helmet...right for price
The helmet fits my daughter well...good venting and looks good...this was a great helmet at a good price. The helmet fit well and wears well. I would recommend Altrec for skiing purchases.
The items were delivered quickly and as described and expected from the website. Sizing was a good fit with added padding to adjust the fit. I recommended the helmet and website to family members as we are taking a ski vacation this winter together.
