Additional Comments: This is a great looking and fitting new helmet from Giro. The skater look will be a big appeal to the younger crowd. The drop in liner is super plush for a comfy warm fit.
The only downfall to this helmet is that it is a bit heavier than an inmold helmet.
This audio version is only good for your music, you can purchase an upgrade to the Tune Ups II for cell phone compatability. |

| Giro Encore Audio 2005 Manufacturer Description |
The Encore brings serious performance mixed with low-profile
style. The perfect blend for riders who want action, not status. The styling
is skate inspired, but the fit of this helmet is truly dialed in, and it locks
in your goggles too. The Encore Audio comes pre-equipped with the TuneUps Audio
Earpads for the long ride up the lift, or extra shred motivation on the way
down.
Features:
- EPS Liners: Thousands of tests prove that EPS
offers the most consistent performance in a wide range of conditions and that
gram for gram it absorbs more impact energy than other liner materials. Plus
it's incredibly light. No other material brings all of these benefits together.
- High-impact ABS shell material
- Ventilation: 13 vents with stainless steel mesh
- Super Fit: Super Fit is the unique bland of science
and art behind Giro helmets' reputation for great fit, feel and looks. That's
because Giro helmets fit up to 98% of the human population while also being
scaled to match the proportions of the human body.
- Removable Earpads: Removable earpads allow you
to adapt your helmet to changes in the weather and riding conditions. They're
a snap to install or remove, they lock into the helmet securely and they offer
extra warmth whenever you want it - without restricting your hearing.
- Goggle Notch: A channel in Giro helmets that
is designed for hassle free positioning of your goggles and a snug, gapless
fit with the helmet. It also works in tandem with a security loop at the back
of the helmet to keep your goggles with you in the event of a fall.
- Safety Certification: ASTM F2040 Safety certified.
- TuneUps Audio System: Offers great stereo sound
with an in-line mute button for quick, simple sound control when you need
it. The system installs in a snap without tools and without compromising the
fit or feel of the helmet, and it delivers incredible sound quality. Includes
a travel case that holds 10 CD's or you audio player.
- Audio Warning: There are additional risks when
using TuneUps or other earphones. Read and understand these risks posted in
the Owner's Manual.
