Simple question, how do you travel with this helmet? Seems too easy to crack this visor if mishandled or not packed securely. Is there a helmet pod/case or anything else that would enable this to be carried easily? I’m looking to go to Europe this summer from US and don’t want to show up with a cracked visor.
Thanks!!!

I made my first two trips with it this month, one overseas (3 flight legs each way) and one in the US (one flight leg each way). I simply flipped the visor over the helmet, put it a soft helmet bag (like a small pillowcase) and shoved it down the backpack I carried on.
Note: I typically carry all my key race gear on my person in the event my luggage is lost (helmet, bike and race shoes, tri-suit, and goggles) It would be overkill except for those people I know who wish they had done it.
The helmet comes in a hard case that holds the helmet and two visors. Takes up a lot of space…
Only the Ultimate comes with a case and probably 95-99% of buyers are getting the cheaper version, if only for the vents.
thanks guys. you only get the case/pod with the “ULTIMATE”, not the cheaper priced ones. GIRO Says that pod is backordered until late June.
Sounds like might be time to custom make something.
In a soft bag in my carry on. The visor is magnetic so if something hits it, it’s just comes off. On my last trip I accidentally leaned on it, and the visor just fell off into the helmet. With other designs I think something would have snapped.
I also flip the visor up and otherwise I just pack the helmet in my duffel bag with soft stuff (wetsuit, t-shirts, shorts, socks, etc).

That’s my plan next week for flying to St.G. I wish there was a hard case (I mean, I wish I had one) so I could just include it in the bag I’m sending with TBT (they specifically say not to put helmets in without a hard case, probably means they throw the bags around a fair bit).
