Guys/gals,
I just got done with IMFL and upon unpacking my stuff, i find that my helmet has a crack in it. The crack appears to be in the middle portion of the front of the helmet right between the eyebrow area. The helmet that i am using is the Giro Atmos. The cracked portion is in the foam but the part where the "carbon" is, does not seem to look like it was stressed in any way. Has anybody had this happen to their helmets..?
I have not dropped my helmet or been in a crash (well, at least not crashed with this one). I've only had it for abt 5 months and it was a replacement helmet from my other crash that i had posted on this site.
I plan to call Giro to see what i they can do for me as a replacement, but i would like to know if this helmet is prone to having cracking problems (possible manufacturing defect..?). I'd hate to fork out more money for a helmet especially since i just got this one.
