OFF SNOW REVIEW: The
Giro Ravine is one of the most striking helmets
available this year. The graphics on the more expensive
version are stunning. The graphics on the black
version are very plain, but the features are top-of-the-line!
The venting is controlled by a simple to use sliding
switch on the top of the helmet. Push it forward
and you have massive venting available, pull it
back and the vents seal up to provide you with all
the warmth you'd ever need. There are 8 air intake
ports and 2 exit ports to control the flow of air
in and out of the helmet. The ports are covered
with a mesh lining to prevent snow and ice from
creeping in on snowy days. The inside of the helmet
is fleece lined for comfort and also has air chimneys
to help direct the air intake toward the rear of
the shell for exit. The Ravine has a padded chin
strap to prevent chafing and has the standard Giro
goggle strap to help keep your goggles from falling
off mid-slope. If you are looking for a full shell
helmet, with stylish graphics and full of features,
the Giro Ravine SC is the perfect helmet for your
needs!
Giro's
premier downhill helmet just got cooler. Giro
left their designers alone with some Dremel tools
and this is what happened - BIG vents and hogged-out
air channels for extra cooling power. As with
the original Ravine, Giro's Thermostat vent technology
provides temperature control via vents that glide
open or closed with the touch of a button.
