fail on that helmet lol. Ive saw countless giro's, and i think my
friend owns one also. Its not a bad snow helmet, but it would be the
most UNCOMFY and UGLY thing to wear, even with taking out the padding.
Theres a difference between a snow helmet - and a summer dry activity
helmet.
snow helmets have a lot of crash impact foam that isnt removeable, and
a bunch of pads that are meant to keep your head warm, and protected. I
own helmet that is similar in padding and stuff, although its a more
expensive helmet, and looks cooler. (plus its metalic grey/green, its
***y)
a summer helmet is made for ventilation lol... My 661 helmet is like a
specific trials biking helmet almost. It has rubber padding, that are
only in the key impact areas. Everything else is just the 1/8'' shell.
I doubt its gonna cu****on my head like a regular bike helmet, but it'll
do its job.
edit: the only insulation you would be able to remove in that helmet is
the ear covers i think.
