Subject: Giro Atmos vs Aeon Helmet and eBay
Looking at the Giro Atmos and Aeon and wondering if I buy at LBS is the extra $40-50 cash (sinceit is starting to be marked down) worth it for the Aeon over the Atmos? Do I gain that much with the Aeon?

Also I see I can get the Aeon even cheaper on eBay and wondering if anyone has purchased a helmet on eBay? I would assume I wouldn't be shafted from a positive reviewed seller, but......

Cheaper helmets listed on Ebay that come from China are reported to be rated CE (European standard) rather than the CPSC standard in the US. My understanding is that the CPSC standard is more stringent, but both protect your head rather well. But with ebay helmets from china, I'm not sure if they are actually CE standard or just fake CE standard. Also, most the helmets on ebay are 2+ years old, even if they are new. I'm not a helmet guru by any means, but I hear the life of a helmet from manufacture is 5-7 years. A loss of 2 years probably isn't worth the $40 you'd save
