Does anyone know what year this helmet was made? Apparently Giro claims a 3 year expiration date and I would want to only get a 2014 model.

You will not be able to find the date out before you receive the helmet (I tried - Amazon said they could not go into the warehouse and find the date). The good news, according too Giro, is that the real issue is when the helmet is placed into service. It is sun and sweat that will age a helmet the most. I am also guessing that if you have a problem with the helmet and can show your purchase Giro may honor the defect.

I have to agree with Michael on this one . You can bet that the helmets aren't overly massed produced and stored for a long time ... They go back order pretty fast when they come out with something hot . My suggestion to you is if you want the freshest helmet make sure you pick a recent color scheme . Giro updates their schemes every year or so . There is always some kind of marker you can trust .

I apologize I'm not sure I can help you. I personally went to a local shop and tried on giro helmets so I could see how they were sized. Then I got on amazon and ordered it for much cheaper. There are a couple of people who did reviews on youtube they go over sizing. Sorry I hope this helped a little

My helmet is Black, you should fine out it on Giro web site. Aeon road helmet is good choice, I have both black and whit one. I do like it!

I bought mine on December 2013, the package says that it was made on June 2013. I dont think you should use it if it has more than 1 year with no use, you can try it in one part of your face and if you get any reaction stop the use inmediately.

This is a "2014" model, but could have been manufactured anytime up to early 2015. There is no way to know the manufacture date on these without opening the package as the date is specific to the lot and product. The date is listed directly on the product itself and the registration card. There is a newer 2015 model that was released at the beginning of the year, but it has the same retail value, however. The model for $50 more is likely the TinyFit model or one of the Special Editions such as Bohemian Blue/Red, etc. I hope this helps!

I don't know the exact time; but, it is very fast. This is a great helmet ... I have had no problems. Easy to push the reset button before each time I use it to find out if the batteries are still functioning. I am a DYI and don't use the helment very often, but the batteries are still good after 2- years of being in the helmet. This was my first helment so I can't compare to any other. I am pleased ... a really good investment for me. Sure makes welding easier.

Hi John,Yes, right. The description doesn't have the information. As far as I remember, the age printed in the product tag was 7~8. (I don't remember exactly). My daughter is 5 and the helmet is a bit big for her. We added extra padding inside the helmet.Hope this helps!Dookun

Apparently the newest model was released Aug. 2014 by Osprey - I doubt this is the newest one! (I just bought the brand new one in stores - loving it!)

I have 2 packages from 2013 and this appears to be the same as those. However, is the 2014 blend out? I don't think it typically comes out until Spring. I may be wrong. You can ask a Starbuck's store, they will definitely know.

My son took the helmet to Iceland, he'll come back in a month. Try to ask us in a month. I just know he is very happy with it.what he did, is trying it in a store and then ordering it in amazon. Good luck.

There is not a hint of origin anywhere on the helmet. On the other hand, there are no tell-tale marks of chinese manufacture either. The manual is in proper american english, it has a 2 year warranty, and is sold by Welding Helmets Direct, PO Box 8628, Bend, OR 97708. They also carry faceplates and backplates. I'm sure it's imported, but from where??? In my estimation, it's quite well made. I did work as a pro-welder but that was more than 45 years ago, when auto-darkening hoods were science fiction. customercare@weldinghelmetsdirect.com

I have this helmet and a Bell. The straps on the Giro are wider and therefore seem stiffer. That was the first thing I noticed about this helmet!

I don't know where it was made. I don't have the box anymore. I don't think it says on the actual helmet anywhere. But here's a link to contact Ovation themselves, you could always email to ask. http://www.ovationriding.com/information/contact

I don't own the helmet. I just wanted to put it out there that this item was misnamed. SORRY!

I don't know the specifics, I haven't coached or been close to the game in a couple years. My kid hit with someone else's 2014 and a 2013. She loved the 2014 so I got one while I could. Doesn't seem like they are breaking like a couple years ago.

Not sure about the white helmet, but they should all say the same, I own the matte blue with the orange straps it just says Giro. Amazing helmet

It was made in China. But who cares if it was made in China or Australia or Antarctica or the moon? The fact that any place would make a quality helmet with this epic logo on it is worth our support. Besides, all the welding helmets I've ever used that were made in America were really expensive and really crappy. Sorry America, but you need to get your act together. I love you still though.
