Difference between Giro Advantage and Giro Advantage II
I know that the Advantage II is CSPC certified and that the Advantage is only available in Europe. Other than that, what difference is there between them? Any weight or dimensional difference? Both are on eBay and I can't find any info on the Euro Advantage.

I know only CPSC certified helmets are allowed by USA Triathlon, and I'm pretty sure the same is true in USCF sanctioned TT's. If someone wanted to be a d!ck they could DQ you for wearing the Advantage. Being that I can't imagine you're buying this for rec riding, that's kind of important.

Euro Advantage is slightly less bulbous, so slightly more aerodynamic and slightly less foam to cushion your noggin when you pull a Zabriskie in the TTT.
I doubt there is much perceivable difference.
