Giro Streif Carbon Fiber Ski Racing Helmet, The carbon-fiber Streif is Giro’s top-of-the-line entry into the downhill racing helmet category. It is a steam-lined, sleek, no frills, all-out downhill racer’s helmet and since it is made with a carbon fiber composite shell, it is lighter than its counterpart, the Giro Streif Composite Ski Racing helmet. Made for skiers who eat courage for breakfast and kick dust at fear, this is the helmet you want protecting your head if you’re racing to be the best. The Giro Streif Carbon Fiber Helmet offers you:- Kevlar-carbon-fiberglass exterior shell protection – the strongest, bar none
- The highest quality, impact-absorbing EPS foam inner liner
- Giro’s proprietary Super Fit design
- Aerodynamic shell shape
- Rear goggle retainer with a wrap-around goggle strap channel
- Wire mesh-protected ear holes to assist in hearing and balance
- CE EN 1077 (Alpine Ski) Safety Certified
- Slalom chin bar available for purchase

Carbon-Kevlar-Fiberglass Composite ShellFused to the highest quality in-mold EPS foam liner is an exterior hard shell made from possibly the toughest stuff known to man, at least that you can wear on your head. It is a fiberglass shell layered on its inside with swatches of Kevlar and carbon fiber cloth. On their own, these swatches of Kevlar and carbon fiber don’t seem like much. However, lay them down in a cross-hatched pattern, slather them with epoxy, and thermoset them to the fiberglass helmet shell. Voila! You’ve created a downhill racing ski helmet that, if it had front facial protection, might be accepted as standard gear on the Formula 1 circuit. Wind Tunnel Design, Zero VentsShaped and molded to be as aerodynamic as possible, the Giro Streif is understated in its mission. But don’t be deceived. It’s as efficient cutting the wind as you are fast. And it’s built for speed. Vents create turbulence, so this Streif has none. Of course, it’s also true that on the FIS World Cup circuit, downhill helmets are not permitted to have vents. So, now you know the raison d’être of the Giro Streif. If you’re serious about your ski racing, there is good reason why you should buy this helmet.
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.
Giro Streif Ski Racing Helmet--Max Speed, Max ProtectionThe racer’s choice, the Giro Streif offers possibly the best protection of any helmet on the market. No helmet can protect you in all instances. However, if you’re looking for that one helmet that will protect you better than any other one out there, the Giro Streif is it.
