Damaged Giro helmet due to accident today
Hi All,
was enjoying a hell of a ride today over here in Switzerland but was involved in an accident during a descent whereby I slid off the road and hit a fence.
Thankfully my helmet and my hip bore the brunt of the damage, which could have been so much worse than it actually was.
My question is this. Do Giro offer any kind of replacement due to accident here in Europe?
Thank you

It's 30% off full MSRP. Discounted helmets do not qualify. You can easily find a replacement for 30% or more off MSRP without having to deal with sending your dead helmet.

Dead helmets are trophies! Sorry to hear about the crash. I just replaced my crashed Giro with the exact same model.
