Description
Versatility and comfort go featherweight.
The new Aeon Helmet has quickly become a favorite of the pro peloton with a unique design that borrows heavily from the Ionos and Prolight models. Giro's newest creation manages to combine the best features of each for incredible ventilation, easy fit adjustment and an impressive 222 gram weight.
Unlike the ProLight model, Giro has managed to incorporate the Roc Loc 5 system for separate vertical positioning and fit adjustments, with an ergonomically-tuned adjustment dial that won’t pinch skin or pull hair. Technologies like over-sized WindTunnel air ports and the Thermoformed SL Roll Cage provide superior protection and comfort while keeping weight to a minimum.
The Aeon is built using the SuperFit engineering process to guarantee a glove-like fit for riders of many different shapes and sizes. X-Static inner padding with Silver microfibers works to regulate temperatures as you ride. The pads also feature an anti-microbial treatment to resist odors, something your riding buddies will appreciate too.
The Giro Aeon features 24 vents and weighs 222 grams in a size Medium.
Sizes:
Small (20" - 21.75"/51cm - 55cm) Medium (21.75" - 23.25"/55cm - 59cm) Large (23.25" - 24.75"/59cm - 63cm)

Best choice of helmet on the market in 2012

Best helmet on the market, light weight, super comfortable. I ride with a lot of different amateur teams and the chat inevitably turns to gear. The Giro seemed to have surfaced as the helmet of choice so naturally I decide that light weight would equate to comfort over longer rides. I was correct in my assumption. Super light and super comfortable. I love this piece of my kit.

Different fit, excellent performance.

I wear a large Giro Ionos. The Aeon requires a medium size for me, fits more securely and is noticeably lighter. Venting is about the same. I use the Ionos for cool weather because of the removable liner and the ability to accommodate my Capo skullcap. For warm weather, the Aeon for long hot rides.

Very comfortable on long rides

I ride around 150-200 miles a week. The Giro Aeon is comfortable and looks great. I initially had problems adjusting the chin strap, but finally got it to stay the correct length. It is significantly lighter than my last Giro helmet.
