me want one just cause it looks cool... :P

The entire event (IM) is like "death by 1000 cuts" and the best race is minimizing all those cuts and losing less blood than the other guy. - Dev

Love it! I would hope Giro would say how it compares to a selector in terms of aero performance.

"the trick is to keep losing weight until your friends and family ask you if you've been sick. then you know you're within 10 pounds. if they start whispering to each other, wondering if you've got cancer or aids, you're within 5. when they actually do an intervention, you're at race weight." - Slowman

They said it is right between the Selector and the Aeon in terms of aerodynamic drag, and we have that in the story.

I guess I'll be the first antagonist and say that I think it looks terrible and slightly like a BMX helmet....

At first glance, it reminds me a lot of the one that T.J . Tollakson wears.

This is a perfect helmet for riding with your head down and the tail up. I'd ride with this one in tri races with the vents taped shut.

Too bulky for my taste. I prefer this one. More CASCO-like

Sunglasses are generally faster so I know what option I'd choose.

Except for the visor system which seems pretty cool, it kinda looks like a $20 kid's helmet from Wallmart.

I like it. I am not a big fan of the long pointy helmets. At least this one doesn't look goofy.

that is exceptionally ugly.

That looks as though it's going to be a great helmet- light AND aero. What more could you ask for?

Something that actually looks a little nicer for $240 maybe? I'll stick with my Ionos and advantage 2.

< Quitting Isn't An Option >

I had no idea that every kid riding their bike to school was so aero...

exactly!

Seems like a waste of money. 12% slower than the Aeon, and with less cooling? The Aeon can be found easily for less than $190. So unless the Air Attack is far cheaper, why would you buy it?

Maybe I do not get it, but if someone already has a road helmet and a TT helmet, where exactly does this fit?

I think I have one of those from my brief inline skating days (10 years ago or so)....haha, I'm digging it out for the next group ride!

< Quitting Isn't An Option >

I think that it is designed for the folks that think that aero helmets look extremely dorky.

I am in that crowd. I like this one.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

The most interesting thing to me was the "name recycling". My first "real" helmet as "a cyclist" back in the early 90s was a Giro Air Attack SC.

It was freakin' awesome!

It is 12% FASTER than the Aeon and 12% SLOWER than the Selector.

LOL...that was my first thought when I saw the thread, too. Giro re-used the Prolight name a couple years ago and now the Air Attack.

Sure...my thought is that anyone complaining about the "looks" or cooling of this helmet in this thread is OBVIOUSLY not a part of the target audience:

My bad, I mis-read the article: "fits right between a Selector and an Aeon in terms of aerodynamic drag and is 12% slower / faster"

I was thinking the selector was a lower-end road helmet.
