The newer ones are much like any other helmet. My Giro Advantage 2 (2008) was the first Giro TT helmet to be CPSC certified (the American standard which is higher than BS/EN I think). In 2007 the Advantage had less foamy protection so was legal in Europe but not in the States. You can also get fairings like the MDT one which are just that - won't do anything in a crash.montage said:how much protection those aero helmets (fairing?) actually give? or are they just for aerodynamic reasons?
