NEW, New Giro Aero Helmet?
The title wasn't a typo... I think everyone is in agreement that the Air Attack is not the prettiest helmet out there. But it looks like Philippe Gilbert might be wearing a new aero helmet from Giro? Looks narrow like the Specialized Evade, which looks fine head on, but gets a bit bulbous from the sides and back.
Or is this just a small Air Attack painted with the rainbow stripes that just looks narrow?

Isn't one cm in helmet size like a pound on bicycle weight or an inch where it counts? I think it might make a noticeable visual difference.. That being said I tried the air attack at my local tri shop and it looked whacky.

The LBS employees are laughing about the customer that tried the helmet on backwards

hmmm, I just like to wear real aero helmets not that Air attack cheap excuse for a helmet
Jokes aside, I loved that helmet as soon as I saw it on the website before it came out. I tried it on and it didnt fit me well.. I was really bummed.
