The Giro G10 is best helmet that I've ever tried on for snowkiting. I just bought this last weekend and its light, snug and is easily the most
comfortable helmet that I've ever tried on.
I bought a Giro Omen from Steep and Cheep which is their top of the line helmet but I found the G10 to be far more comfortable so I sent back the
Omen. I think the G9 is just as comfortable, but lacks the adjustable venting lever on top of the helmet.
Also, they are on sale at EMS for less than $100 for another few days.

Thanks for the link.
I am looking for a light weight full face motocross style helmet. I might just go with a motoX helmet for the added protection. Hitting hard pack
going really fast is just as bad as a motox bike crash.

Hey Scott!
You may want to check out the Bell Bellistic helmet. It's really light and has the full face protection. I think its made for bmx riding. I use
mine for snowboarding when its really cold or if I'm worried about a major face plant while kiting. Mostly, I use a regular Bell mountain bike helmet
without the face protection.
Anyway, you can find them on ebay for about 60 to 80 bucks. Not a bad deal! The big trick is figuring out what size to get.

FYI I just picked up a second G10 off of tramdock.com for only $45. Keep an eye out for them. Best fitting helmet that I've worn and it kept my head
warm in 10 degrees F with winds gusting to over 30 mph today.

I to have a Giro and my favorite helmet. Has the added venting on the top great summer and winter and the skull candy sound system is great.
