Great.. but a little older |
| Rating: |  |
| I decided to get wiser, so this is actually my *first* ski helmet. I don't have much to compare it with, but the helmet seems great. It's a Giro higher end and based on what I've seen with other helmets, it's pretty good. It has a great ventilation system. The model I actually got seems to be from 2 seasons ago. However the helmet hasn't changed at all (one 3 seasons ago was indistinguishable), short of colors. Given the pretty good savings along with the unchanged product, you really aren't getting an "old" model. Plus with a plain shiny black, that never goes out of style! One thing to keep in mind, most helmets are rather generous in a large. Giro must market to shrunken head people 'cause I had to wear a XL |

As light as a bicycle helmet |
| Rating: |  |
| Nicely crafted noggin protector, very light weight with an accompanying sense of durability. Among the best looking helmets. On very cold, windy days, I felt a little drafty from the helmet ports - despite being closed. There are adjustable port openings in the very top of the helmet, and others which are kept closed with foam plugs - none of thse keep out the cold very well on a windy day. Must wear an inner cap or other thin head cover underneath for protection. My solution would be better, longer depth plugs for the inside, including an auxiliary deeper plug in addition to the adjustable ones. In fairness, I'm bald-headed, however, am probably not the only bald-headed skier in the land. |

Great fitting Helmet! |
| Rating: | |
| I have been skiing for 20+ years and this is my first helmet. Even though this is a dated model, the fit was perfect right out of the box. The venting system works great and allowed me to change it during my day to vent more as the temps rose. It di not feel heavy nor did it limit any movement. It fit well with my goggles. A grat product at a great price. |

| Great product. Not as many sizing adjustments as other options in the line, but the fit was perfect for me as is. Sizing adjustments are nice as you may want to vary what you wear under the helmet depending on the weather and this helmets adjustment options are limited. I understand that the newest models that are now out have more adjustment options. Either way, I am happy with my helmet as it is. |

Great deal! |
| Rating: | |
| This helmet was a great deal. Light weight and good ventilation. Easy to open and close vents. I was between a large and xl and needed to go xl. The removable portion of the liner that comes down to the back of your neck does need to be broken in a bit- it mildly irritated my neck after skiing all day-- but my wife has the same helmet with no worries!! |

Ski Helmet A Great Thing |
| Rating: | |
| As a medical professional, everyone should have a helmet. Todays news was dominated by Natasha Richardson's death from a seemingly minor head injury sustained on a beginners run. She almost certainly would not have been injured w/ a helmet. A brain cannot be replaced and is often hard to fix if broken. These are a cheap form of prevention. Parents - be good role models. |

Fuse is a no brainer |
| Rating: | |
| I have a Fuse helmet in silver and was thrilled to find one in black (need to wear black for Ski Patrol) at such a great price. The helmet is lightweight and the venting system works great; easily adjust from totally open to slightly open to completely closed with just one gloved finger. It's so comfortable that you'll forget you have it on. |

Great helmet, great price! |
| Rating: | |
| I bought this for downhill skiing and it is a great all-around functional helmet. It is comfortable and sized right. I was tempted to order a size larger to fit a hat underneath, but I didn't and I am glad of that. I can fit a small hat under the size that is true for me. This is a great value. |

Giro Fuse |
| Rating: | |
| Excellent helmet! The Giro Fuse is everything that I was looking for in a snowboarding/skiing helmet. The fit is great, venting is easily adjustable and quick, light, padding is very comfortable, vision is unobstructed, and provides a very good fit with goggles (Oakley). I would definitely buy this helmet again, and would recommend to my snowboarding friends! Great price [...] |

Light weight and vrey comfortable |
| Rating: | |
| It's so light weight and comfortable that after a minute you don't realize you're wearing a helmet. We read the reviews first and decided to get one size larger. A "large" fits us perfect even though we're really a "medium". There are no size adjustments on this helmet. Plenty of adjustable and removable vents for skiing in all temperatures. |
