Info About Venting: |
The vents in the Giro Nine Helmets are fantastic. Divided into three sections, you can remove plugs to open the vents up. You cannot remove the plugs while wearing the helmet though and since the are removable, you can lose the plugs. Keep them in your jacket pocket or pay the price! Great venting system though, nice and cool in the spring and toasty warm in the winter. |

| Giro Nine 2004 Manufacturer Description |
Lighter. Tougher.
Cooler. It's easy to settle for 2/3 of what you really want in a helmet... but
it's just as easy to step up to a Nine.
Giro Nine Features:
- In-Mold Construction:
In
unity there is strength. That's the idea behind In-mold - a unique construction
method that fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell directly to the helmet's
interior liner. The process reinforces the shell and liner together, so In-mold
helmets feature larger vents while using less material, and you get a lighter,
cooler helmet that feels like a part of you.
- Goggle Notch:
Every
one of our helmets is designed to match-up with goggles for a comfortable,
gapless fit. Our deep Goggle Notch is a simple detail that works in tandem
with a security loop to keep goggles locked-in all day long. Because sometimes
it's the little things that make the biggest difference.
- Ventilation:
12
supercharged vents are as cool as you want to be, with Weatherstrip vent plugs
to seal warmth in and cool out.
- Weather Strip:
High-performance
features don't have to be complex. Giro's waterproof Weatherstrip vent plugs
are lightweight, simple and highly effective for regulating your temperature
when you're out on the hell. Just snap a set inside the helmet for a tight
seal against the chill, or remove them to let excess heat radiate out. Everything
should be so easy.
- Removable
Earpads: When
was the last time you rode all day in conditions that didn't change? That's
why helmets featuring removable earpads are more than a skate-style look.
Our earpads are snap to install or remove, they lock-in to the helmets securely,
and they offer a nice bit of extra warmth whenever you want it, without restricting
your hearing.
- Styling:
Great
peripheral vision with gapless goggle fit. Because you've gotta see it to
hit it.
- Certification:
ASTM F2040, CE EN1078
- Weight:
13.5 oz / 380
g
- Giro will donate
a portion of their White Flames Nine model sales to benefit the fight against
breast cancer through the Boarding for Breast Cancer Foundation. This model
features Giro's "Fight Breast Cancer" decal which cannot be removed.
