Giro "Feature"

This is the latest addition to Giros line of helmets is the Feature. It is their new all-mountain trail ride helmet and a terrific helmet for Super-D style riding.  Giro’s idea was to create a  helmet that keeps the depth and coverage you get from a skate style design but with a lot more ventilation and a true visor. The visor design mimics what you get on their rugged full face helmets with around 15 degrees. Come into the store and try one on……..
