Below is a pic I posted in Dan's height/saddle height thread a few weeks ago:
I've been riding that LG aero helmet (Crono?) since around 2008. It's the only aero helmet I've ever had. I've been thinking I should get a new aero helmet, but looking at pics of me on my bike makes me wonder if I should. I don't get too hot in the LG and the profile/tail of the helmet works well with my position (at least visually), so I'm not sure if any of the new aero helmets will offer much additional benefit.
I know the *real* answer is that helmets are a personal decision based on fit, comfort, position, etc. and I'd need to test several different helmets on me in a tunnel, but that's not really in the cards any time soon. So my general question is – do any of the new aero helmets offer much that my trusty ol' LG doesn't already have?
Thinking about the usual suspects: Giro Aerohead, LG P-09, Smith Podium, POC Cerebel, Scott Split or Cadence.
