Now that we have that out of the way, I have to say I am thrilled with this helmet. I rode Giro helmets for the last few years, up until this past summer, when I switched to Lazer. I was drawn away from Giro with the Lazer Helium, which fit great and I loved the look of.
My previous Giro helmets all seemed to be a compromise. The Prolight left much to be desired on the fit, but the weight couldn't be beat. The Atmos fit pretty well, and was pretty light, but sat high on my head. The Ionos didn't fit my head as well as I had hoped, but I fit the weight I was looking for.
With the new Roc Loc 5 is a great retention system which was, for me, a game changer to bring me back to Giro. Being able to lower the Roc Loc adds a level of security and comfort I've been looking for.
Add to these features a weight that's far below the Lazer Helium, 222g for the Aeon vs. 336g for our Helium, and I think I have found a winner.
Time will tell how the durability plays out, but so far I have to give the new Aeon a huge thumbs up.
