PSA for Giro Aerohead users - check your visor magnets

John Katsoudas

Just wanted to give everyone a quick heads-up. Those little magnets that hold the visor to the helmet fall off very easily.  I wore my Aerohead MIPS for the first time in a sprint race a few weeks ago, and when I got home I discovered that one of the magnets that are attached to the visor and hold it to the helmet had fallen off.  I called Giro, and they very nicely offered to replace the visor with a new one.  Problem is, the tinted ones are on backorder, so they're sending me a clear one now and will send me a replacement tinted one when they get them in.  Excellent customer service, but a bit of a hassle nonetheless, as it may not arrive in time for my next race.  So, you may want to check those little plastic clips that hold the magnets, and perhaps even put a little dab of crazy glue on there to keep them from falling apart.

Thx, I've already worn mine in 2 IMs and 1 70.3 with no issues but will check the magnets -- and add a touch of superglue to each one!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check mine later.

My magnets are now superglued ... helmet in the pack pile.   21 days to go.
