I just got the Giro Advantage 2 for my b-day (March 26). I rode with it yesterday to make sure it worked well and the helmet is awesome. It is my first aero helmet and it feels great. It feels weird at first to have it over your ears but it definitely feels fast, and psyches you out too (in a good, fast way). I have always had giro helmets and use a giro atmos (for the past 2 years). I would definitely recommend the advantage 2, especially if you are used to the fit of a giro helmet already.

I found that the Advantage doesn't feel the same as other Giro helmets, so I wouldn't choose one because your road helmet is a Giro. Try them both on and see which feels better. They're going to work the same as long as they both fit. The Giro doesn't fit me at all. I had an LAS last year that was comfortable, but the tail didn't sit flat against my back. I have a Spiuk now that isn't as comfortable as the LAS was, but at least it's flat on my back. They're all going to fit different people differently and there's really no performance advantage of one over another.

I picked up a Rudy Project Syton Supercomp last year and would definitely recommend it. But like Gator said, try before you buy.
Im making the jump to an Aero helmet for my races this year and was wondering what helmets you all thought would be worth a second look. I have a Giro road helmet now and its doing the trick but just looking for another advantage. The Advantage 2 is pry at the top of my list with the LG Rocket Air hanging in second. Any suggestions, what yall think? Thanks in advance....
IM BACK!!! Well kinda, have to give it six weeks..but its better then six months!
