| You definitely look 60% cooler wearing a '92.
Oh, you mean temperature? Well, I haven't overheated yet this year
so I can't tell yet.

At those prices, you are getting into the range of the Time helmet,
which definitely is quite cool and light. And... you get the honor
of wearing a piece of equipment that shouts TIME in big bold orange
letters. :-) Honestly, though, the helmet is light and cool, and
has about the same shape (narrow) as the Giro.

Yes, reminds me of when I first came to Britain with my Bell
helmet - people there loved the idea of the visor - "Helps keep
off the rain, doesn't it now?"

PS: Still have not switched to my "summer" helmet (the Time) -
with temps on the weekend a brisk -1�C to 20�C down here in NC.

| Another feature of the Time helmet I like:
Time put little arrows at the outlets so that
you know which way the air is flowing. At least,
John Lee's helmet has the air flow direction
marked.
What a hoot!

| Drat, That's not the direction of airflow! John's wearing it
backwards.

RE: John's wearing it backwards...
I *knew* something was wrong when the helmet whistled unless
I looked backwards! :-)

| I thought those arrows were required through federal regulations so
that when travelling down the road you'll know to keep those intakes
away from birds, small children, and compact cars.... :-)

But is the Time helmet guaranteed for replacement in the event of a
crash? I was intrigued by Giro's claim and would consider it for this
reason. Something like the last helmet you'll need to buy?
|
| 2231.11 | don't know | SHALOT::ELLIS | John Lee Ellis - assembly required | Tue Apr 07 1992 20:39 | 5 |

I think other manufacturers also offer a replacement helmet
after crash, but I don't know about Time. Interesting question.

| 2231.12 | 1 year limit on helmet replacement | OXNARD::KLEE | Ken Lee | Wed Apr 08 1992 15:29 | 6 |
| I think the Giro replacement offer is only good for 1 year from the
date of purchase. Unless you plan on crashing every year, this
probably won't be useful.

| 2231.13 | Free replacement for '92 | POLAR::TANSLEY | | Wed Apr 08 1992 17:14 | 12 |

re: .12
The 1 year limit applied to the '91 models. For '92, there is no time
limit (at least on certain models, including the Hammerhead SC I was
looking at). As I recall, there was also a charge in '91 ($15.00??),
while the replacement will now be free of charge.
Good selling point, but one that I hope never to use!

There is a $15.00 replacement cost for all Giro Thinshell helmets and
Prolight Lycra helmets will be replace free of charge. There is no
time limit on the 92 helmets but I would bet they would only replace
it once.

| 2231.15 | Giro SC helmet liners | OXNARD::KLEE | Ken Lee | Mon Apr 13 1992 14:11 | 7 |
| By the way, my local shop is selling the new Giro helmet liners as an
upgrade. Cost is around $20 (I don't remember exactly). They claim
that most of the "coolness" benefits are from the liner, not changes to
the helmet design. Anyone have mored info on this?
