eternalX Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Heading up to Whistler this afternoon and need to pick up a Giro helmet. Where's the best place to go for prices/selection? Does MEC have anything? Quote
PaulB Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 MEC has some cheap helmets, but they aren't the quality of Giro IMO. Depending on how you're coming into the city, it might be easiest to stop in North Vancouver on your way to Whistler, unless you really want to go downtown. Good ski shops in North Van are Northshore Ski & Board, Westside Sport & Ski, Destination Ski and The Boardroom. Northside Ski & Board and the Boardroom are the closest to the highway and easy to find on Lonsdale Ave. Bigger chain stores that would have good selection are Coast Mountain Sports & SportChek, both of which are also in North Van. I'd guess that buying a helmet in Whistler will add $20 or so to the price, but you might get a deal if someone's still got old stock from last year. Quote
snoboy Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I've actually bought both helmets in our stable in Whistler (out of season mind you) because it was the best price I could find on them!! Quote
PaulB Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Yeah, a friend of mine picked up two Giro helmets in Whistler this summer for something like 50% off. Quote
