All these brands are owned by an ammunition company

It's sad. Bet many snow sport enthusiasts don't know this

Giro, Bell, Camelbak, Copilot and more are facing a consumer boycott because they are owned by Vista Outdoor, a supporter of the National Rifle Association.
In the wake of the Florida school shooting, US bike advocate Aaron Naparstek is calling for a boycott of Giro, Bell, Camelbak, CoPilot and other bike brands owned by Vista Outdoor, one of America's largest ammunition makers. This $3bn company is also a corporate supporter of the gun lobby’s mouthpiece, the National Rifle Association, he said.

"The same company that manufactures your CoPilot rear-rack child bicycle safety seat also produces the SavageArms MSR 15 Patrol assault rife," tweeted Naparstek last night.

Bought Giro shoes a couple months ago too. Well, now I know.

2. CRAP! I love Giro!

Best fitting bike helmet. Best fitting bike shoes. For me anyway. I can order them online and rest assured they will fit me well.
