Description The first unbelievably light-weight, legitimately ventilated, all-mountain snowboard helmet.
The Nine™ has 12 air-sucking, heat dispensing vents, perfectly positioned to draw moisture and heat ...
Summary: Picked this little gem at the end of the season 2 yrs ago. It has saved my bacon at least 2 times. Riding throught the trees a huge Oz like tree hit me so hard that I broke the 2" branch and left a silver dollar sized dent in my helmet. If I hadn't had on a helmet they would have found me in the spring thaw.
Customer Service: This helmet is comfy and warm, with vent plugs to can adjust the amount of air you want to your noggin.

Summary: I bought my Giro Nine 9 because it was the only way my wife would let me tree ski anymore. I find it is a superb multi-sport helmet. I wear it biking everyday on my 12 mile commute. I wear it rock climbing and horseback riding with our 4H project kids.

Summary: Awesome helmet! I was skeptical of wearing a helmet at all, but the Giro 9 is so comfortable and light weight that I wouldn't dream of boarding without it. I've taken a couple of nasty falls since wearing this helmet and I've felt completely protected each time. This helmet has seriously made a TON of difference in raising my confidence level.

Summary: Started seriously skiing only this season, with some advanced/very aggressive skiiers who have challenged me on some rough terrain for my level of skiing. This helmet has given me an added sense of security and has protected me well on what could have been some very nasty falls. The helmet is more comfortable than a ski hat, the goggle clip works very well, and the ear flaps help in the bitter cold. The venting works great for wamer weather skiing. I don't think I'd even consider a different helmet. I also like the lower profile look- this helmet dosen't look like a bowling ball on my head!
