I personaly love my giro 9x. it is really light and feels like I'm not even wearing it. To add to that it is the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn and plenty warm enough for the blizzard days. I dont think I would even consider buying another helmet.
YEah, i have the flint sc and have the same problem. also, the chinguard tends to reflect my breath so it fogs my goggles... i think i'll start a thread on it actually to see if anyone has any solutions...
i have a bern but i would recommend buying one next year. all of the accessories arent out yet like earflaps and such and I hear they wont be out till next year.
