Giro Combyn Helmet

As my wife and I approached retirement age we decided to act on a lifelong shared interest in learning the fundamentals of figure skating before it was too late. As expected we experienced some falls. We've learned from personal experience that injuries sustained by older persons can be more severe and take a lot longer to heal than in younger skaters. Since we wanted our newfound past-time to be enjoyable, and not fraught with anxiety, we thought we should take some precautions. Protecting our heads seemed to be a very high priority. It wasn't long before one of us tested the effectiveness of this device. The fall resulted in little more than a bruised ego. These helmets are comfortable and actually somewhat cool looking and have drawn interest from other skaters, particularly older ones. What we have found is that these safety devices boost our confidence and embolden us to tackle more difficult and riskier skills. Even after mastering them we have no plans to ditch the "brain buckets" as they free us to jump and spin with sublime and surprising abandon. Now in our sixties, we think of our helmets as high-flying symbols of our anti-rocking horse army.Update: About 6 months after we bought these helmets our skating instructor was taken out when she was struck from behind by a speeding 10 year old hockey player. She hit her head on the ice and suffered a serious concussion! Afterwards, she told us that she wished she'd been wearing a helmet.

Not so fit for asian people.

Helmet was not the, latest model with adjustable settings for head size, but luckily it fit o it of the box and the price was right.

Fits perfectly, very cool design

Top of box missing. Package containing extra foam padding was already torn open. See pictures. Obviously a previously purchased and returned item.

thanks

Great helmet​.
