Giro makes cycling and snowsports gear: bike helmets, cycling shoes, gloves, apparel and accessories, plus snow helmets and goggles.
Jim Gentes founded the brand more than 30 years ago. The saving to plan around is the 15% off first-order offer, which comes from signing up for Giro's email newsletter, so sign up before you fill the cart.
Giro Sport Design traces its start to 1985, when Jim Gentes sketched the Giro logo, meant to evoke a tour or circuit, and released a helmet aimed at the then-new sport of triathlon. Its timeline credits the brand with the first modular full-face mountain bike helmet in 1998, a lightweight vented snow helmet in 1999 and, in 2004, the first mainstream goggle with interchangeable lenses. Footwear followed in 2010, and the VIVID lens technology was developed with ZEISS in 2016. The company ties its early years to Santa Cruz.
Today's range is split by riding style: road, mountain and gravel helmets, shoes and apparel on the cycling side, and freeride, all-mountain, park and race helmets plus goggles and replacement lenses for skiers and snowboarders. Youth helmets and goggles are sold separately, and Giro calls itself a product brand that obsesses over small details.

More about shopping at Giro
What Giro sells
Bike helmets, cycling shoes, apparel, gloves and accessories, with snow helmets and goggles covering the winter side of the range.
Returns
Refunds come back at the purchase price minus original shipping and handling. Final-sale and non-returnable items can't go back. See Giro's returns page for how many days you have.
Delivery area
Every Giro purchase has to be delivered to a location within the US, so the online store won't send helmets or goggles abroad.
Newsletter offer
Joining Giro's email list brings 15% off your first order, a one-time saving best kept for a bigger purchase.
Giro ties its 15% off first-order offer to the newsletter, so the code reaches your inbox instead of showing on a product page.
Once it arrives, add your helmet, shoes or gloves to the cart and enter the code during checkout, the same step where shipping and handling get added.
Look over the total before you pay, since that charge sits on top of the discounted goods.
Be careful with anything marked final sale: a discounted final-sale jersey or pair of shoes can't be returned later.
Sale items carry their markdown already, with no code needed to see the lower price.
More ways to save at Giro
Giro's sale section is the other route, with markdowns of up to 30% off.
On full-price gear, set the sale price of a similar item against the 15% sign-up saving and pick whichever leaves the lower total.
Getting the fit right matters here too.
A refund comes back without the original shipping and handling, so a helmet or cycling shoe that has to go back costs you that charge.
Snow helmets and goggles sit in the same store as the bike range, which helps if you ride in summer and ski in winter.
