Winter Helmets

Why did I wait so long to try one of these helmets?
I purchased a
Giro G-10MX last year just when the temp around
here dropped to minus 30 degrees and colder for
several weeks. This helmet kept me warmer than
I have ever been during my 20 plus years of winter
commuting. This thing makes getting ready for your
morning ride simple. Just put it on, no need for
the old balaclava, toque and helmet balanced on top
anymore.
The helmet itself is a full inmold design for durability.
It has mechanical vents that can be opened or closed as the
conditions change. The MX version also comes with a visor
to help deflect the wind, sun and branches if you are out
ripping some single track. The G10MX also has a adjustable
headlock so you can have a perfect fitting helmet all winter.
This helmet makes the whole winter riding experience more
enjoyable and comfortable. For the record I actually found
the thing too warm when the temperature got up to minus 10 c
