I recently purchased a Giro Nine helmet from Amazon.com. They gave me an option to have free shipping as long as I did not mind waiting 7-14 days. I picked that option and actually received my helmet in only 3 days!!!!
The product itself is great. The helmet is comfortable and light. The strap is padded so it does not rub against your chin. The helmet keeps you very warm. There is no ventilation like some other helmets, but that is fine for me (I am always cold, not hot).
I have not had any major wipe outs yet, so I cannot comment on that aspect of the quality. The pink, smog, and white color is cute; but it can easily get scratched. I store my helmet in a small case to protect it while traveling. 5 stars

I've had this helmet (only a few changes have been made to the Giro 9) for maybe 5 years. I still love it. My boyfriend just bought this exact one last week, and so far he loves his, too. It's really comfortable, even if you spend all day on the mountain. SO MUCH warmer than a hat. I don't know what the other reviewer was talking about, there totally IS really good ventilation. You can take out the ear pads, and you just pop out the foam things plugging the holes and it's ready for a 60 degree spring day. Well made, it's a great buy. 5 stars

The shipping was faster than anticipated, the product is exactly what I expected. Thanks for the great service.
