Giro Omen Helmet

Filed under: Sports

A while back, no one wore a helmet to ride a bike or play hockey. But we've all gotten a bit smarter about protecting our noggins and now skiers and snowboarders are starting to wear helmets. Giro, a company which makes excellent bike helmets, also makes great snow helmets. The Giro Omen is a light helmet with an ergonomic fit and vents which can be closed or opened to help regulate your temperature. The helmet also accommodates TuneUps, Giro's system for wireless audio that lets you zoom around with your music and control your sound without fumbling through your clothes to find your iPod. Kevin Kennedy over at Outside recently gave the Giro Omen a thorough workout and offers a great review of the product. With the Tuneups system the helmet sells for around $370 or is around $200 without.
