Do you know if this works with the giro advantage 2 or does anyone else know?

I recently got a Giro Advantage 2 and I also use Oakley Pro M-Frames. They work awesome together for me. Only thing to warn is I’ve seen some people tilt (rotate) the Advantage 2 helmet back pretty far to get the tail of the helmet close to their spine when riding aero, which therefore rotates the notch on each side of the helmet for M-Frame arms too high (sets the glasses above your eyes). The dept of the notch on the Advantage 2 is perfect for the M-Frames, just make sure the side notch horizontally aligns with your eyes when you’ve got is set as you’ll be riding with it.
BTW…I suspect Giro designed the helmet with those cutout notches b/c Lance wore both the Advantage and Oakleys in all his TDF TTs.
Hope this helps.
thank you very much for your help.

He wore the Rev6, not the Giro Advantage. Although the only difference is in the tail I think… the front end is pretty much the same. Wish I could get my hands on that helmet…
Oops, you’re right. I forgot about the Rev6 Lance wore. My bad.
The Rev 6 does appear to be the same formation as the Advantage 2 except with the added part at the tail.
Here’s a pic, from Velonews, of big George wearing a Rev 6…

Interesting article on all the aero tech done for Lance during his final 3 TDF’s…
