The Giro Decade helmet sets the bar a notch higher for women looking for style, performance, and value. Boasting all the features of Giro's Nine.10 helmet but with added finishing throughout, the Decade is an ideal choice for serious skiers and boarders. The Decade 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 Decade 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.

The Decade is the product of Giro's Super-Fit Engineering design process. Every new Giro product is designed with reference to the company's database of anatomic measurements and rider input. Giro then tests the design repeatedly in the lab and in the hands of riders, gathering feedback and making refinements every step of the way. The result is a product that fits and performs at the highest level. To improve ventilation, the helmet includes 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. The helmet works in the opposite direction, too, with a Weatherstrip vent shield that seals off the vents in extremely cold conditions. A Velcro tab secures the shield when not in use.

The Decade is a women's-specific helmet. Although there are no differences between male and female head shapes other than a smaller average size, Giro provides women's-specific designs to keep up with fashion-forward kits found on the mountain. The helmet 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.
