Is the LG-p06 still a good helmet--for you? I don't know. Probably doesn't qualify as badass at this stage. *Generally* the P09 is considered the superior lid, but it depends on your physique/position. You can read through several wind tunnel/aerolab stories about how folks were surprised their old A2 beat all the new models, or how the new P09 saved them 2 min over 40k. Just depends. But, for $60 it's hard to imagine getting a cheaper helmet, and I'd certainly try it out since you sound like you're less cash-strapped than before. Probably not stupid, and might be a steal. Worst case, you have a backup helmet. YMMV. -J

The P-09 is far more tested than the P-06. I'm not really sure what the differences are between the two. Frankly, I'm inclined to say that your "safest" choice for aero is to buy a Giro Advantage 2. It tests pretty well for most people on a fairly consistent basis. It's also light and reasonably well ventilated.

The A2 is fine, but if you really want a new helmet I think you have to start at the Giro Aerohead. Amazing to see just how many professionals are wearing it now. Some brief thoughts after using it for 6 months now.
