So I have an Aerohead from last year, and my visor scratches the hell out of the top of my nose. Looks like there is now a rubber/plastic piece that takes care of that, however Giro is telling me it’s not a part they’ll sell me, that it’s built in to the visor. Can anyone confirm that?
I may have just gotten a dolt of a support person, and may call back if it’s clearly a separate piece.
I called Giro last week and asked the same thing. One side of my nose piece does not stay on very well and its eventually going to fall off. I was told you can’t buy the piece seperately. You can buy a new visor for $60 that comes with a nose piece.
Couldn’t you get a little piece of vacuum hose from an auto or hardware store, slit it lengthwise, and stick it on? It’s not exactly high tech stuff and would cost all of $1-2.

The piece came on my Aerohead a few months ago. It is incredibly minimal. Mine wouldn’t even stay on, and I eventually lost it. Luckily mine doesn’t contact my nose in any way.
I would think any homemade rubber piece you could stick on would be more dependable than their solution.

That’s awesome scam, I mean, customer service!
To the hardware store!
Same deal with my Bell Shield… I’ll just find something and put it on there but every helmet I have with the shield it falls off… Louis Garneau, Bell and Giro.
Ha, I had the same thing happen to my Smith Podium, I contacted Smith and they sent out a new shield. Great cs. BUT, the nose protector still comes off when wet.
I guess it’s time to bust out the glue on mine before I lose it too.
