THE LIFE OF A SKATE-STYLE DIRT HELMET IS A HARD ONE. THE QUARTER HELMET IS DURABLE AND HAS A POLYURETHANE BUMPER TO HANDLE THE WEAR AND TEAR THAT COMES WITH RIDING TRAILS OR THE SKATE PARK.
THE QUARTER IS ONE OF THE LOWEST-PROFILE HELMETS GIRO HAS EVER MADE, AND IT'S ALSO THE LIGHTEST THEY'VE MADE WITH AN ABS SHELL.
The essentials are here - an EPS liner for impact management, a tough outer shell, riveted webbing anchors and plush, sweat absorbent pads that are easy to swap for dialing in the fit. Another standout feature - the polyurethane coating helps to protect the EPS liner from daily wear and tear. Plus it's available in a bunch of great colors and three Super Fit sizes.

Note: Make sure the helmet fits with a little room when the fit system is loose, and sits low enough to protect your forehead without hindering your vision. Once you’ve got the right size, you can adjust the fit.
HOW TO ADJUST THE FIT:
Step 1: Adjust the fit system at the rear of the helmet for a snug, secure fit. Some helmets also include a vertical tuning feature that allows you to adjust the fore/aft tilt, for optimal positioning on your head.
Step 2: Adjust the straps so that they sit just below the earlobes.
Step 3: Step 3: Adjust the buckle so that it rests against the back of the jaw/throat.
Step 4: Adjust the interior pads if needed.
Step 5: Check the fit to make sure helmet is comfortable and secure. It should not roll forward or back, or be able to slide off.
