2004 Giro Pneumo differences?
Hi there. Does anybody know if there's any difference between the new 2004 Giro Pneumo helmets and the old 2003 models? I couldn't really spot any in pictures or small write-ups that I've seen.

Velo,
I don't think there are any differences in the Pneumo,
all research went into the new helmet (forget the name)
that previewed at TdF on USPS team. expensive helmet
something like $279 for the USPS lonestar lance armstrong edition.

Okay, thanks lotek. That's what I thought, but I just wanted to make sure. The new helmet is called the Atmos if I remember correctly.

Someone was mentioning to me that the Atmos is being made out of kevlar and will cost around $235.00, and will supposedly offer more protection.
That seems like an awful lot of money, but there are shoes that cost that much. Which is more important: your feet or your head? It's a rhetorical question. No one need answer.

I didn't think the Pneumo ever had a visor, I thought that was
one of the distinctions between road and MTB helmets.
