Giro Helmets - One Step Ahead the Breakthrough Technology


Executive Summary about Giro Helmets By Athena McDonald

Giro has paved its way to cycling helmet fame when they started inventing and producing first-class helmets and other cycling accessories and protective gears.

Believe it or not, most cyclists and riders choose their helmets based on the helmets design or on how the helmet would look on them when they wear it.

The Roc Loc feature of Giro is also one of the factors why Giro is esteemed when it comes to their helmets.

The Roc Loc is used in most Giro helmets such as the Ionos, Atmos, and Prolight helmets.

Instead, Giro uses a process of permeating the polycarbonate shell with the EPS lining to create one structure of a helmet.

This is the reason why most Giro helmets are lighter and durable than other brands and models

Giro Air Attack Helmet

Executive Summary about Giro Helmets By Athena McDonald  Jeff Dowdy

I began to research about these wheels and came across some information and research that said the best aero dynamic purchase you can make besides a costly wheel set is an aero dynamic helmet.

Most of these helmets have a long tail on the back of the helmet that provide an aerodynamic feel.

I read in some research that if you do not maintain the aero position on the bike with the long tail of the helmet that you can actually harm your aero dynamics if you cause the tail to go sideways or straight up if you put your head down.

This helmet is modeled after the classic bicycle helmets but lots a bit like a skateboarders helmet.

It is a solid plastic piece over the top with only 4 air vents.

In fact, I had read that some of the riders on the Tour de France were using this type of helmet.

As I was watching the footage this last year, I indeed saw Chris Froome wearing the helmet.

The first ride I think it is hard to gauge the benefit of a piece of equipment to your aero quotient without going to a wind tunnel, but you can certainly wear the aero device and then not wear and test the difference in speed and feel.

I did this type of testing with the helmet.

It may have been a placebo effect, but I certainly felt like I sliced through the wind better than with my normal bicycle helmet.

I did pick up a little less than a half mile an hour, but this hard to gauge because of temperature, hills, traffic, etc. Overall, I felt like the helmet gave me an aero dynamic advantage when I was cutting through a head wind.

I also did not feel like I had to keep my head in the exact same position to gain an aero advantage like with the helmets with a tail.
