About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

The Skyla's fit, form and function are made for women on the move. And with the top-level features, poise and a remarkable amount of performance built-in, you can be sure it's ready for action and dressed for success no matter where you ride.

About Planet Bike
In November 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, WI. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.

Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.

Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high-quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, the company strives to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short 10-year history, it has made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the four-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that 10 years ago started as a one-man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve its product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled 0,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Planet Bike BRT-3 Taillights includes batteries, seatpost and seatstay mounts.

  • Three-size Super Fit system for a fit that feels like it was custom made just for you
  • Ultra-light helmet; open cell foam padding
  • Wind Tunnel ventilation system combines active vents with internal exhaust channels that thrust cool, fresh air over your head
The skate-style Giro Section multi-sport helmet is a great choice for a wide range of activities, from urband commuting to mountain biking to dirt jumping. Its low-profile shape is distinct yet minimal, and because the shell and EPS liner are integrated though the in-mold construction process, it's nicely lightweight.



The front of the helmet has also been optimized with Giro's Super Fit technology to work great with our sunglasses and goggles. And with a wide range of graphics, there's a Section to suit any taste or preference.



In-Mold Construction
In-mold construction fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet's impact-absorbing foam liner. The fusion process allows Giro to sculpt better ventilation systems, so in-mold helmets can be lighter and cooler than traditional helmets.

Wind Tunnel Ventilation
Giro helmets are developed utilizing its proprietary Wind Tunnel ventilation system, which combines active vents with internal exhaust channels that thrust cool, fresh air over and around the riders head-while forcing heat and stale air out. This significant increase in air channeling makes a difference that riders will immediately feel and appreciate.

Super Fit Engineering
A great helmet is so comfortable that once it's on, it virtually disappears. Our proprietary three-size Super Fit system is based on "human scale factors" data and over 20 years of crafting helmets for the best bike riders in the world. The result is pure Skull Hugging Luxury, a helmet that fits 98 percent of the world's population, yet looks (and fits) like it was custom made just for you.

Specifications:

  • Suggested use: Urban/Commute, Dirt Jump, All-Mountain
  • Features: Low-profile fit, light weight, Wind Tunnel Ventilation
  • Construction: In-mold EPS liner, polycarbonate shell
  • Ventilation: 8 vents

The new Giro Section combines the look of a traditional skate-style helmet with the light weight of in-mold technology for urban commuting, dirt jumping, and trail-riding.
