How bad is the cooling on those new bowling-ball style lids out of curiosity?

 

[RkFast]

Looks Great!

[LOL....yeah RIGHT!]

If you're worried about how you look...cycling ain't for you.

No one thinks the spandex clad neon love chickens on the road look good.

I also got the Air Attack and so far I think the venting is very good.

A bit biased ehh? (cup half full/half empty)
Cooling is just fine if you are using the helmet as intended, not something to wear on the C rides.
Luca seemed to be happy with the helmet when he crossed the line the other day (even pointed at it).

I saw a bunch of them at the races last weekend.

How dark is the shield and is there enough room to wear prescription glasses under it?

 

[looigi]

A number of them in the Giro today (without shields) and previous days despite warmer temps, 84F today.

They're actually more head-shaped than bowling ball shaped. Same shape as mainstream helmets and about 1 cm smaller in length and width, just without the big vents and numerous fins sticking out the back.

There's a couple of other threads on this helmet discussing it characteristics and relative ventilation performance.

I like this pic of Tejay:

I haven't tried, exactly, but I would guess that there would be room for glasses. The shield sits a bit further from you face than most I've seen.

I received my Giro Attack shield yesterday and I wear prescription glasses, they fit perfectly with more than enough space, I was worried this might be an issue but it's not

How are the exterior dimensions of this helmet vs a standard Giro road helmet?

I hate the mushroom-head look, so I'm wondering if with less holes, the Air Attack doesn't need to be as thick to meet the same safety requirements.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update! Good to know.

I have a hard time seeing the screen on my Garmin with my rose tinted photochromatic sunglasses. That shield looks pretty dark. Anybody using a Garmin 500 with this shield and if so does it inhibit reading the numbers?

I received mine last Friday, just awesome. Here follow some comments after the first testing ride:

Hi! Thanks for the promo, it worked. Just ordered one for myself!

 

[ph0enix]

Hey, that's the exact helmet I've been wanting. In that color too (to match my bike). It's even my size. The guys at my LBS are convinced that it doesn't vent well so I'm interested in real world experience with it.
