While this version of Giro's Omen Helmet doesn't feature a wireless headphone, it does offer all the exceptional freestyle protection you'll need for flying in serious competition venues. The fourteen-vent design features high-impact ABS zones with a lightweight in-mold EPS liner. Unlike other Giro helmet designs that feature Weatherstrip vent plugs, the Omen has a Thermostat control with a low-profile ventilation control button. Thermostat control buttons are considered among the easiest and fastest vent system adjustments currently available for ski and snowboard helmets. The proven in-mold construction joins a tough polycarbonate exterior shell with an impact-absorbing foam liner for enhanced protection without the headache of extra ounces. A contoured goggle notch along the outside of the Omen helps channel the goggle strap so you don't have to mess with repositioning your eyewear after a tough landing (use the snap-closure security loop in back of the helmet to keep your goggles with you during a big fall). If you do decide to upgrade to a Giro wired or wireless Tune-ups system, this version of the Omen is completely compatible, so you can buy a helmet now and splurge on an audio system addition later--and have more of your paycheck left over for weekends up in the ski village.
