Why does John Padilla recommend Giro?

John Padilla recommends the Giro Owen Spherical Helmet for ski helmets. The Giro Owen Spherical is my favorite helmet of all time. It’s light, breathable, and good looking, and most importantly it is protected by the latest and greatest helmet innovations: MIPS and Spherical Tech. The entire inner liner of the helmet moves during a big slam to transfer energy away from the brain. I have a degree in Neuroscience and this is the helmet I’ve been waiting for someone to make. I remove the ear flaps to make it even lighter and I love the magnetic chin strap for swapping between my full face helmet and ski helmet without removing my gloves on a cold day. The entire Mountain in My Mind cast and crew is wearing the Owen this year and I’ve switched a lot of people over from the Smith Code MIPS and Giro Ledge MIPS
