I have been racing Full & 1/2 Iron distances races with the Giro Aerohead for two seasons now. At a weight of 450g, I find that after a few hours on the bike my neck and back start to tighten up which leads to me coming out of the aero position unnecessarily to stretch out. It seems that most of the weight of the Aerohead is upfront which when hitting bumps, chip-seal, etc it adds more stress to the area.
As a head down rider,long tail helmets aren't really an option. I am looking at the following helmets:
1) Kask Bambino Pro (340g) - Older design, but good enough for Team Sky?
2) POC Cerebel Raceday (380g) - Doesnt look like it vents well, but Rapp's review says otherwise.
3)Smith Podium TT (weight ???) - No indicated weight on Smith's website so I messaged them and they advised weight was 340g, however AeroGeeks.com weighed it in at 408g. Seems like a huge discrepancy here.
I'm not leaning one way or the other and open to other options. Thoughts???
