Giro Advantage vs. Giro Advantage 2 - Difference
Quote | Reply
I'm on the lookout for one of these. And unsure how i differentiate these 2 helmet? If they are indeed even different. So first question is, is there an aerodynamic/positional difference between the two?
If yes, how can i see the difference (i can see some of the 2's have a smaller advantage 2 sticker, but as i might buy used is there other visual differentiation possible?)

The original is an OLD helmet. It would be rare to see one nowadays even if you were hunting it out. In fact a quick google fu doesn't reveal one immediately (the helmet Lance Armstrong wore in the Olympic TT/99-00 era tour's is a prototype, not an Advantage1)

Easy way to know the difference... if it has vents in the front, its an Advantage2.

Found it on Giro's website... circa 1985

Ah oh my god! Then the ones i see on craiglist is def. the nr 2. Its just that they have very different color schemes and some have advantage 2 sticker others not so got confused.
Can we agree that these 2 are the nr 2/newest version of that helmet:
