Great selection of helmets. If you're looking to try on quite a bunch of different brands, they have a good selection. They are a bit over priced compare to other places that offer deals and special. But if you're looking to try on a bunch and see the difference, this is the place to go. read more

Bought my helmet here on the last day of my ski trip for 2020. I should have went day one and upgrade my 12 year old helmet but oh well. The best part is you can try on multiple brands and variations of each brand to find one that fits. Shockingly they all fit differently. Both my wife and I purchased helmets at the same time and got the end of season discount. read more

Thanks to Jamie at Craniologie for setting me up post concussion with a much better MIPS rated SIMS helmet today at a fair price with tons of safety features. Also the store has some great goggles, sunglasses, and gloves. read more

The employees are super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all of their products. I'm always impressed at how well run this store is. I can't wait to come back during my next visit to Vail! read more

We rented Pedago bikes from Craniologie. I asked if we could pay for 2 hours and not a half a day, nope. It is automatically priced in our system. Other bike shops have allowed us to pay for the time used. We asked for step-through bikes when I reserved them and the woman who helped us said, well I already have these other bikes pulled out for you and refused to give us the step-through bikes. I guess she couldn't be bothered, She was rude when she explained how everything worked. Renting bikes is a sideline for them in the summer so they don't really care. I plan to let Pedago know that this not help sell their brand when you have people like this. read more

Hi everyone out there who is looking for an awesome time in Vail Colorado!! Let me tell you about my experience at Craniologie and electric bikes. I've never been on one and was looking for a different way to see the mountain. A friend told me you could rent them at Craniologie in Vail Village and wow, how much fun were they!!! We went up to Piney Lake, which was fairly bumpy, but an awesome time! I can't wait to try them up Vail Pass next time!! Thanks to the awesome staff at Craniologie and super fast electric bikes we had a memorable experience different than any other!!! Y'all rock!! read more

Great shop terrible service the people were exceptional Trudeau especially an younger tall man would never buy anything from there, definitely go somewhere else I know you can find anything there somewhere else for cheaper read more

I can't say enough about the excellent service I received at this store! I needed a helmet & the store manager spent so much time with me, making sure the size was right & offering me many different choices. She was very friendly, patient & helpful! I love my new helmet & highly recommend Craniologie! I also stopped in the Beaver Creek store & received the same friendly, excellent service! read more

A great experience for four travelers aged 48-55 renting e-bikes for a ride between Vail Village and Beaver Creek Village, a 28-mile round trip. We rode to the Beaver Creek Craniologie location, where a cool guy (Jamie?) helped us with some adjustments, then to lunch while we left the bikes outside the store, and then back to Vail. Shout out to Sam there who was super helpful in talking us through the experience the day before when we stopped in. Right on! We'll be back! read more

I had no idea that a helmet buying experience could be so AWESOME! Allow me to explain... Craniologie has the largest selection of helmets that I've ever seen. The staff helped me pick out a helmet that the exceeded my expectations of what a helmet could be. I wound up with a Troy Lee Designs A1 which I absolutely love! Being stoked about wearing a helmet is fairly counter intuitive. Moreover, I made my purchase while visiting Vail for the GoPro games and in my travels I misplaced the screws that connect the visor to the helmet. The staff went out of their way to source and replace these parts. Bottom line, Craniologie is hands down the place to get a helmet you're excited to wear. read more

I would give them no stars if I could. Here's why... I bought helmet at Craniologie on September 18, 2017 and canceled the order on October 11th when informed by the manager it had never been shipped to my home. They forgot to do it and it was sitting in a box in the backroom. Since then I've been on the phone twice with the manager and sent three emails requesting they refund my $$. I can only tell you that each time I've talked to them they claim they will take care of the matter and to expect the credit to hit my account in a few days. It has been 15 days since the cancellation and yet to get done. Today I had a friend who lives in Vail, CO to drop by and ask that they take care of the matter. The manager was out and they claim they can't take care of it until he returns. Really? It's that hard to take care of this? Crediting someones bank account is something any well trained check out clerk in any retail outlet can do on the spot. Hard to believe they are this incompetent and dysfunctional, but I'm left to believe they are. Do yourself a favor and buy your ski gear anyplace in Vail other than Craniologie! read more

Loved how knowledgeable the staff was on their products & how friendly they were. I went looking for goggles and they had a great selection.

Disappointing experience. The store manager was condescending and rude. We rented four bikes for a couple of hours and he treated us like we were annoying him. Good bikes but stinking service. read more

The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. I dealt with both McKenzie and Diesa and their customer service was impeccable.

I had an awesome experience here. (See Matt) I came in with a really defensive attitude because foresaw another uncomfortable piece of equipment I had to carry on my body...uggh! I can't stand bulkiness, and Matt was able to fit me so comfortablly. I didn't think it was possible. This will be my "Go-To" Place now! Matt, you made another Happy Customer! read more

Went in for a new pair of goggles and had the best retail experience I've had in Vail! MacKenzie was so helpful and took the time to make sure I ended up with exactly what I wanted. I would recommend this store to anyone who needs a helmet or goggles and I will definitely be back! read more

Rented some e bikes from the store here to cruise around the valley, had a great time and super friendly and helpful staff!! Bikes and rental gear was in great shape and worked out great. Definitely check them out if you're interested in effortlessly getting around. read more

Absolutely amazing customer service! Despite never having set foot in the store, the entire Craniologie team went above and beyond to make sure I was happy from start to finish even though I mis-measured my head and had to have a second helmet shipped. I can not recommend the store's selection or customer service enough. My only regret is wishing I had two heads to so i could work with them again on another helmet. read more
