That strap looks good with the dark blue helmet.

No, that's @nelson.tracey. He happens to be visitng from So Cal and is wearing his POC goggles.

Grid Helmet, Contour goggle

Like the colors! What are the pants?
Goggle to helmet fits well.

 

[Ron]

As you would expect, yes, the contours fit seamlessly with the Grid helmet as well as with the Jackson helmet.

Pants are Stio Objective Pro's.. I have a review on them pending edit. https://www.stio.com/products/mens-objective-pro-bib?variant=32229341200449

Giro Jackson helmet and Giro Method goggles here. I said it earlier in this thread, but I will echo again the seamless intervention, comfort, and quality of Zeiss lenses.

Range helmet with Contact goggles.

Since Giro is the official helmet of the SkiTalk Test Team, any word on the new colors coming out in the Giro Stellar MIPS? I am in the market for a new helmet and trying to decide if I buy now or wait for a fun new color. Giro helmets fit my head and mesh perfectly with my Anon goggles (both my older WM1 and new WM3).

I'm talking to someone at Giro now about next year's colors.
Stay tuned.

I'm currently wearing the Stellar Mips and was only able to get it in black.
The colors available coming in the fall are.
Matte Black, Matte White, Matte Urchin/Pink Street, Matt Grey Green/Glaze Blue.

Are the contour goggles magnetic? I have the Contact goggles and they like pop off when you put them on your helmet.

Contour have a magnet to assist placement and two pins on each side to hold the lens in place. No problems with the lens falling off.

I have the Giro Eave goggles and they do much the same as what you're describing with the Contact goggles.
I have to use both hands on the sides, and can't move it over the helmet with one hand like my old goggles.

Thank you for the update. I may just end-up with white, but I may wait to see whatever Matte Urchin/Pink Street and Green/Glaze Blue look like. I was considering the Envi model as well - it comes in a beautiful pale lavender - super light for touring too although I have not been able to try it on yet. The Stellar was a perfect mesh with the Anon WM3 goggles.

I got the Stellar but recently I tried on the Envi and I think I like it better for my head shape.
I was flying blind when I ordered my kit and wish I had gone to a shop to try some on first. Don't get me wrong, it fits and works well, but after trying the Envi on, I think I like the way it fits my head better.

that Jackson is a really nice helmet ( I bought that for myself prior to Giro becoming a sponsor) . although it has fixed open vents, I skied with it on several near zero and below zero days with a beanie and I was comfortable. I think having the open vents is key to preventing moisture build up which can lead to fogging. I find I rarely close my vents.

I have a Jackson (not the helmet in my profile pic) and like it. It's a very bright green color, which I have the impression is going away in Giro's lineup, so I just got a Zone after seeing it at a nice price in that color. I'll stockpile the Zone for a few years till the Jackson is too beat.

Goggles are Onsets - got several pair at good prices a few years ago. The Vivid lenses are nice, but I've been using the non-Vivid Loden Green a lot - very versatile. Unless the light is really flat, I prefer fairly dark lenses, even if it's not that sunny out. Sometimes I wish I had goggle with lenses that were easier to change (no way could I do swap on the Onsets on a hill) but other than that I like them a lot.

I wish Giro did more bright/fun colors, including on the men's side. The helmets are great, and I understand that perhaps the market is tending to darker, less wild stuff, but I'd like more bright options. White and orange seem to be it for now.

I'm with you on the bright colours as I want a helmet that is highly visible.
