Giro Pneumo Bike Helmet Review

[jaysonness]

When your Giro Pneumo pads turn to dust call 800-456-2355 . Tell them your size and they will send you new pads at no charge. I found out about this about a year ago on some blog site and it worked. The customer sevice was great. I think the number still works.

@jaysonness

how about a different giro?

[jaysonness]

@dahgutone I don't know about other giro helmets but I would try it if I were you.

@jaysonness Thanks for the tip! I called today, and sure enough, just gave my helmet size and mailing address, and new pads are on the way. Excellent!

I like the bike helmets that look more like skate helmets. A couple of brands that I like include bern and triple 8. You can see them at zoobom com

I havent worn a helmet for 13yrs, but am thinking about buying one.

My head is around 63cm in circumference (like dinosaurs I have a small brain), and is the same shape as a loaf of bread - narrow frontally, but deep front to back (like the Alien in Ridley Scotts movie "Alien"), so its rectangular in shape. I guess I should go to my local bike shop and try some on, but any advice on which manufacturers produce rectangular, large helmets would be greatfully recieved!

Most entry helmets from all the different brands nowadays are one size fits all. They have a lot of adjustment and dial right in.

giro recommends replacing your helmet after 3 years max as the foam starts to deteriorate and the effectiveness of the helmet itself is compromised.

a.k.a: they built a really nice helmet, and now they need a reason to get you to buy them constantly, because you'll never need to buy another.

To what extent is it compromised? Tool.

My Pneumo is also 7 years old. It's still working as it was when I got it from Performance Bike back in 2001. The pads are going ot be replaced later today but there's nothing I can do about the fading paint. I will probably use this for at least 3 or 4 more years. I don't see any reason why I should replace it. Paid $140 for it, but it has served its purpose way past its claimed lifespan of 3 years.
