“ I spied this beauty in a shop last year and had to have one. I'm now into my second season with the Variant and am very pleased. The cosmetics are killer, the feature list long and the fit outstanding. Although I didn't notice this last year, RDB33 is right about the adjusters snagging jackets. I found to have this problem only when the helmet wasn't cinched down tightly though. I...” --GearGuide
“ This helmet is awesome, I'm not sure what else I can say The vent system is well thought out and the levers allow some to be open while others are closed. With the vents closed and ear flaps on, the helmet is warm enough on the super cold days, yet hasn't overheated me on the day it was 45+. I also enjoy the elastic goggle clip over the older snap on ones, although I do see...” --Bielz
“ Fantastic helmet. Very lightweight, extremely comfortable and adjustable to fit just about any melon out there, fully adjustable venting, and very stylish. You won't look like a bowling ball in this thing! One nice subtle, but important, thing is there is little wind noise into the earflaps when moving at higher speeds on the slopes. Some helmets are brutal with wind...” --Gunnerbob

“ Nice pot. have the POC Lobes with it. Good match up. Fit well together. ” --SkiScot
“The ONLY thing I dislike about this hemet is I can't put my goggles "up" without them sliding off.” --
“ I got this helmet at the beginning of last season. Wasn't the cheapest but it fitted my rather wide head very well in the largest size they had. The custom air when i first heard about it, i thought was a gimmick, but after skiing two straight weeks with it on I knew it was certainly by far one of the best helmets I had owned. Hearing was not too badly affected and it felt nice and light on...” --William Donovan
“I haven't tried the helmet yet (got it new off eBay for $88), but just wanted to respond to sanigene's criticism of the helmet due its lack of a "goggle gasket". One of the reasons I bought the helmet is that it has what Giro calls a "Vertical Tuning Adjustment", which was developed precisely to eliminate the gap between the goggle and the helmet and nose pinching from the goggle pushing down...” --AndesRider
“ Just got this helmet for my birthday and love it. Previously I skied in the Giro G10. My new Pret is much lighter in weight. It's low profile shape fit's my head perfectly, but did take a day or two to break it in. There is a adjustable dial in the back that helps snug the helmet to your head for added support and comfort. No matter which brand of goggle I use (POC, Smith,...” --PrettyPants
“I love my Salomon helmet! It's stylish, pearly blue. It's warm, but has vents so it's not too hot. The ear pads are comfortable too. I bought the headphone plug-in for it and it rocks! I can listen to my ipod without fumbling with headphones. I've only had one spill since I bought the helmet and felt glad I had it on. I caught on edge on flat spot and landed on the side of my head. Definitely...” --LaraR
