Pro  9391     Omaha, NE |  Subject: Indoor aero helmetso I'm ordering my new Giro Selector Aero helmet and the sales guy tells me that I shouldn't use it in an outdoor Triathlon. It's too hot and should only be used for indoor Triathlons. He was dead serious and tried getting me to buy a more vented helmet for outdoors. I told him I generally only do Tri's when its cold out so I should be fine. |

| Subject: RE: Indoor aero helmet lisac957 - 2012-05-29 10:44 AM I've heard they really improve your trainer times. Not to mention their improved protection for your head in case you crash. I would have kept the conversation going as long as possible to see what other types of "gems" he might say. |

Master 2264 Sunbury, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Indoor aero helmet The only way I can wrap my head around this as anything other than a litmus test to see if you'd call him out: is it possible he thinks that tris are done in velodromes? It still doesn't make sense, but that's the only way indoor-tri makes any sense that doesn't involve sitting on a trainer. |

It still doesn't make sense, but that's the only way indoor-tri makes any sense that doesn't involve sitting on a trainer. That's kind of what I was thinking. Maybe he was thinking of velodromes or something along those lines. I know there's been mixed reviews of the Giro Selector potentially not having enough ventilation so i'm guessing he saw something about that and extrapolated a little bit. |

Elite 2729 Puyallup, WA | Subject: RE: Indoor aero helmet Do you belong to a gym? You should ask the staff if they'll video tape you. Get on a stationary bike - recumbent would be better - sans gear. Then start adding gear. Gloves, sunglasses, jacket?/arm warmers?, and then your helmet. Don't forget more than one water bottle. Just get on for a bit and see if you can get the reactions video taped. Then.. 1) Post so we can see 2) Send a link to the moron at that store |
