Crashed during my race this weekend and ruined my Giro Advantage 2. Does anyone know if giro’s crash replacement discount is worth pursuing or am I just better off getting a new one off amazon or something?
Are there any good deals on a2 out there?
Two weekends ago I crashed (a guy behind me half wheeled me and then ran into me) in my Bell Javelin, which was destroyed. Aside from a bunch of road rash, I’m fine. I emailed Bell, and their crash replacement policy was 30% off any helmet, good for one year. The helmet has to be replaced through their website. I’m pretty sure Bell own Giro, and likely has similar (if not identical) customer service policies.
Email them and find out. It was incredibly easy for me to get them the information. From the Giro website (the instructions are identical to the Bell website):
Q: Does Giro have a crash replacement program?If your Giro helmet has been involved in an accident, you may be eligible for a discount on a new Giro replacement helmet.
To learn if your helmet qualifies, please email us at giro-consumersupport@giro.com with the below information:
· Picture(s) of the damaged Giro helmet
· Giro helmet model and serial number
· Giro helmet size and color
· Giro helmet manufacture date
· Your full name
· Your phone number
· Your shipping address
**This Crash Replacement Program is available to US customers only. For Giro customers outside of the US, please email us for information on a program that is applicable to you. **
Thanks, just emailed them. A 30% discount would be pretty cool. I hope they approve.
My Giro Selector saved the day for me last year in Escape from Alcatraz (just a couple fractures to the orbital wall). I contacted Giro (USA) and they offered me a 20% discount. I soon realized it would not work for me as I am in Canada but when I called them back they gave me the contact info for the Canadian distributeur… They were amazing and sent me a replacement Giro of my choice when I sent them my story. If you are in Canada, get in touch with Outdoor Gear Canada!
Very cool, thanks. I’m in the US though, hopefully it will work out
