Giro Fuse Audio Helmet

The Giro Fuse Audio helmet is a lightweight, high-performance helmet for riders who can't sacrifice peripheral vision, but want to ride to their theme song. A wide-angle cut creates a gapless fit with goggles, and doesn't compromise peripheral vision. That's handy when you're spotting landings, and hauling through the trees. In-mold construction fuses two Hardbody shells to the EPS liner (hence the name) for the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio. This helmet comes complete with Giro's standard TuneUps technology plus LINK technology. LINK allows you to plug in to your music and your cell phone at the same time, so you can stay in touch without fumbling. The built-in microphone lets you speak hands-free, and multiple phone jacks fit most any cell. *Black only. iPod and cell not included.–Vendor

Fuse Audio is light, comfortable, sharp and it rocks, too!
The Giro Fuse Audio helmet is awesome! First, the fit is great. I felt gently but firmly surrounded by the light, well ventillated helmet. The Giro Fuse demonstrates just how much safety gear has improved. This model is sharp looking and has a nice finish. Add the TuneUp speaker system (built into the ear pads) which has very nice quality sound and you're good to go! The fit of the helmet is so good that I could not imagine comfortably squeezing ear buds in. So I definately recommend the TuneUp setup if you listen to music when you ski or ride. The wire that goes from the helmet to your music source could use some improvement. I found it difficult to insert the cable into the helmet speaker jack. The ear pad cover protects the jack from weather. But it makes it challenging to locate the unseen jack when inserting the plug. As a result, I left the helmet and wire connected when not using it perhaps risking inadvertent damage knocking around. The mute button releases inconsistently and needs better design. But these are minor inconveniences and ones I will happily live with. ***** Recommend completely. I'd buy again!

Fuse Audio Ski/Board Helmet
This helmet is the best of the best, if you are looking for the best helmet and money is not an option. This was the only helmet that "really" fit my oversized head, so I bit the bullet and bought it. I'm so glad I did. I would recommend trying some helmets on at your local ski shop and then come back here for the killer prices! That's what I did! Vents work great, right amount of padding, earphones work good, and most of all...I could ride all day with this helmet on. It is so comfortable! If you want to save some money, this helmet is the same thing as the Fuse Helmet but it's got audio, I figured it was worth the couple extra bucks to be listening to some rockin tunes on da slopes :-) Your choice! Ski safe!

Giro Helmet Rocks!
The Giro Fuse Audio Helmet has been a great addition my ski list.

The helmet is very comfortable, with plenty of vents for any kind of weather. The audio system makes listening to music a breeze, and even adds the ability to answer your cell while it is safely in your pocket (no risk of dropping it off a lift or in the snow). If you ski by yourself or just like listening to tunes while skiing, it's a must own.

This is a great helmet. It’s comfortable and warm and the speaker system is awesome. The quick-open vents are easy to use and a great function to have on those nice days on the mountain.

Training Tips

If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.

You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.

Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.

As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
