Giro Omen Snowsport Helmet - SkullCandy Audio System (For Men and Women)

My husband and I used this helmet and have enjoyed our skiing adventures with it. Made our skiing feel like dancing with the music.

Terrific helmet - easy to adjust to a perfect fit. SkullCandy audio is built right into the earpads, making them incredibly comfortable. The wired remote controls iPod/iPhone perfectly and is easy to use w/ gloves on. Best part is that you can still hear what's going on around you while listening to music. Really can ask for much more in a helmet.

Not a bad helmet, but did not like the comfort and sound quality for the [$] price. The fit was fine and was not uncomfortable, but for >$100 price I was expecting more. My $30 helmet is more comfortable. Audio: My $10 ear buds have better sound quality. That may be because they are right in the ear, but for >$100 the sound quality should be improved.

Great helmet except for one issue: The goggle retention clip on the back does not snap shut. It's held in place by tension. If your goggle slips over the top of the helmet while walking, it can...and will fall off. During a season, my goggles fall off at least a dozen times. Generally someone tell me 'hey you dropped your goggles', but I have lost two pairs so far. Replacing my helmet because of it. Otherwise, it's a good helmet. Sucks to replace the helmet for such a simple oversight on Giro's part.

Helmet fits fine, and doesn't look too big (important to my wife). Though it is adjusted to the max, with ho room for a hat. She doesn't want to use the sound system, so have no idea how that sounds. Too bad it can't be removed, or else I would use it in my helmet. It is also not so great that the liner and ear flaps are not removable. They are in my Giro Chapter, which makes it much easier to wash out, as well as more comfortable in warmer weather.
