Plush finishing details, a perfect fit, and a feather-light weight make the Giro Sheer an ideal snow helmet for women who value performance and style. The Sheer is made using Giro's in-mold construction, which fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet's impact-absorbing EPA foam liner. Not only does this fusion process reinforce both layers, but the "exoskeleton" also allows Giro to sculpt better ventilation systems, making the Sheer lighter and cooler than traditional helmets. The helmet also boasts the company's In-Form system, which makes it easy to dial in a custom fit in seconds--even with gloves on. An ergo-friendly dial at the base of the helmet provides up to 6 centimeters of adjustment, while the vertical tuning feature accommodates different goggles and head shapes for a custom fit free of gaper gap.
To improve ventilation, the helmet includes 12 Super Cool vents that pull cool, fresh air into the helmet while pushing heat and stale air out. By maximizing efficiency and optimizing vent shapes, the collective cooling power of Super Cool vents helps regulate your core temperature and keep you feeling fresh all day. And the Sheer will help keep your goggles clear with its Stack Vent goggle/helmet ventilation. The Stack Vent was developed based on research showing that the majority of the warm air that causes fogging exhausts from the center top vent of the goggle. Aligning the Stack Vent in the helmet with the center vent of your goggles helps keep them clear and fog-free while maintaining total helmet and goggle integration. The Sheer is available in two In-Form sizes--small (52 to 55.5 cm) and medium (55.5 to 59 cm)--and is compatible with all after-market TuneUps systems.
About Giro Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped him tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, resulting in the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking and better fitting than traditional designs yet still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world: young bloods and old-timers; hardcores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet. Giro is based in Scotts Valley, California.
