I have a few year old giro flint SC but it has had use, some abuse, and lots of days, so the hunt begins.
thinking something that doesn't have a removable chin guard but a built in one (I have a giro 9) but MUST have on off vents, Skiing in the rockies is very cold somedays and very warm others, and I dont want to remove it and take out vent plugs.
Any ideas?
pssstttt
a little bird told me that there's an ebay store blowing out Flint SCs. IMO the new helmets look fucking ghetto.
thanks
I'm looking for something that does not have a removeable chin guard, but a built in one.
nothing with Giro, protek, or salomon (the brands I can order) arghhh shouldn't be this hard ...
anyone else have some ideas??
i have an all white F/G salomon FF helmet, that i spec. ordered through their s-lab division. it was the "pro" version of the crossmax helmet. real sweet IMHO.

Giro MadMax? Looks like a nice helmet. Selling on ebay for $119 right now.
Ventilation = None.Quote:

Check out the Bell Tension. I have the Bellistic and it fits similar to my Giro 9: oval shaped. The Tension has two adjustable vent holes under the visor.
ThanksQuote:

how well so the vents work for you?Quote:

bump, anyone have more ideas on a helm for me for this year?
built in chin guard (not giro flint SC)
on/off vents
Maybe not EXACTLY what you're looking for, but here you go:

I was going to take the Mad Max and try to add vents to it. I'll let you know how it turns out, but if you find anything , let me know. I'm looking for the same thing.
Anyone tried any off the sixsixone snow line...?
I had the same difficulty, ended up buying the mad max and keeping the flint for warmer days.
I wish Giro would have put controlled vents on the mad max. However, thinking back to last spring, I did ski with the mad max a fair bit and didn't find it toooo bad. Although having controlled vents sure would have been nice.
have not tried the 661, but the snow full face doesn;t have on/off vents.
anything new for this year?
bump from the past
rumor has it that smith has worked with troy lee design on a FF. haven't heard when its available, if ever. but looking at smith's current helmets, its gotta have ventilation.
i have 3 FF's and for skiing i prefer a well ventilated helmet (giro mad max II, specialized deviant) and a thin wool skullcap for the cold days. works great.
the skullcap is usually in my jacket pocket 90% of the time.
i've looked around for a FF w/ closable vents but haven't seen anything.
duct tape the vents on the inside for cold days?
Suomy Spectre
Yep its a motoX helmet
bump of the old thread
has anyone seen a FF with on/off vents for this season?
I gave up. I'm just going to use the mountain bike version, which has more vents, then wear a skull cap underneath if it is really cold.
anyone seen anything new for this season that is on/off fullface?
I asked the GFs brother about it since he designs Giro's helmets, but he said they are too much of a nitch market to really add a lot of varities too. I know they won't add any in the forseeable future and doubt anyone else would either.
I may try and see if the vent system in the G10 can be ported to a Remedy though.

10 for persistence.
Word, I started reading the thread and was like wtf... I thought I'd read this before.
I second the just wearing a scully on cold days.... but my ff has always been warm enough for 90% of the days anyway... plus those really cold days I rock a regular helmet and something over my neck, up to my nose anyway.
