It's far from a case of saving money on an aero helmet by buying this - you can find long tail aero helmets for just over £100 - but if you need to, you could fill the gap of an aero helmet and a road helmet with this one.If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, simply return the item or items to us in their original condition* within 30 days of receipt. However, there are a fair few reductions around now. ValueĪt £209.99, this isn't an entry level or budget helmet. But it wouldn't win a competition for 'most aero' and really you'd want something more breathable for long days in the saddle. The Giro Air Attack Shield is ok for racing, and ok for general riding - so if you have to share one helmet across both uses, it'll do the job. The only real use for this helmet is in filling the hole for a rider who only has cash, or space, for one helmet. On a casual ride, I’d be about as inclined to wear an aero lid as I would to ride with a pair of Zipp 808’s (not very). > Time trial helmet vs road helmet: which is faster? (video)ĭuring a road race, I’d feel a bit of a mug wearing a helmet with a full-on visor – in fact it makes you a bit of a target if anything. For a time trial, I want the fastest helmet I can get, and that’s generally considered to be a long tail lid. The Giro Air Attack Shield carries limited appeal. If you can sense a criticism: it’s coming. I could feel the bottom of the visor coming into contact with my nose from time to time, but it was nice to have uniform eye coverage with no disruption from the frame, as would be the case with standard glasses. The visor does a good job of staying fog clear and offers an aero advantage whilst also protecting your eyes from grit, gravel, and any errant flies that might be on the loose. It’s quite a lot wider than most of my other helmets, so from a purely aesthetic point of view I felt it looked a bit bulky. The overall fit was good – the helmet hugged my head and felt comfortable. > Hot weather cycling: five tips to help you keep your cool But when I stopped, I could feel the heat, and the same when I slowed down significantly on longer climbs. I wore the helmet for a few crit races where I knew I’d expect to get hot, and during more causal rides. In terms of temperature regulation: it did the job when moving. ![]() We don’t have a Cycling Weekly wind tunnel capable of measuring the aero claims, and any time trial attempts we made would be let down by changing weather conditions (and form.), so we’ve not tried that one and will have to take Giro’s aero claims as truth. When in use, it provides shelter for your peepers, and when out of use, you can flip it so that it sticks to the front of the helmet out of harms way. ![]() The ‘shied’ element refers to Giro’s party trick – a ‘Zeiss’ visor fastened via magnets to the top of the helmet. Giro Air Attack Shield visor attaches with magnets and can sit out of the way when not in use
