What is Super Fit?
Giro’s Super Fit engineering process is the foundation of every one of Giro’s ski and snowboard helmet designs. Every model is scaled and shaped for its intended wearer using a database of cranial measurements compiled from hundreds of people large and small, young and old, currently skiing the globe. Conceptually speaking, this means that if there is a perfect fitting helmet out there made specifically for you, most likely it is designed and manufactured by Giro.
In-Mold Perfection
The in-mold helmet construction that Giro employs for the G10MX fuses an exterior hardshell of a tough polycarbonate with a highly impact-absorbing, EPS inner foam liner for superior durability without a lot of weight. It’s Giro’s world-famous in-mold bicycle helmet technology taken to new heights for skiing and snowboarding.
The Best Venting in the Business
The Giro Omen, Seam, Prima, G10, G10MX and Chaper helmets sport a sophisticated Thermostat venting system. In between the polycarbonate exterior hardshell and its in-mold EPS foam liner is a moving plate that instantly adjusts the amount of air you want to flow through your helmet.
One large rubberized slider sits on top of each helmet. It controls a plate that varies the degree of airflow you want to enter the vents. There are three positions for the slider to thermostatically control the amount of air you want running through all vents: fully open, half open, and fully closed.
Thus, no matter the temperature on the slopes, you can adjust on the fly precisely the amount of air you want to flow through your helmet: fully closed to keep you warm on the coldest days, fully open to keep you cool on the warmest ones, or somewhere in between.
In Form Fit System
You say the large is too large, but the medium is too small. With
Giro’s In Form Fit System, you’ll never have to worry about this again. Flexible, but super strong outrigger arms attached to the front of the helmet near your temples run back into a three-pointed catch pad that hugs the nape of your head. The top point is mounted securely into the helmet. The two lateral points receive the front outriggers. In the center of the catch pad is adjustment wheel that allows you to dial in exactly the snugness you desire for the perfect fit of your Giro helmet. Ingenious really. It’s like Giro built its ski and snowboard helmet especially for you… Well, maybe they did.
