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 .

It here is no date anywhere on it. As I just got it this year I'm going to guess 2014. It's brand new.

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

Sorry, I don't know. I'm not a expert. I just bought this helmet because the price is reasonable and I need it. This helmet has the name " Summer Helmet" So, it has good ventilatin. I use this for 3 season: spring, summer, fall. This helmet is light and hard but small. If you are Asian, please choose bigger size than your head size. Have a nice shopping with Amazon.

I bought this helmet for my 5 year old and she has been comfortable in it this year but next year might be a different story. Hope this is helpful.

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.

I've been riding/training for the past 55 yrs. Highly recommend this helmet. Experience tells me that you should go with a medium. Since your son is only 9 he has some growing to do. That is not to say that you won't need to purchase another one in a few years, to be on the safe side. Everything wears out. Just like the girth straps on a saddle. Hope this helps. This is what I use and have gotten for my grand sons. NJ Kelley

I had never checked that before. I see the Batch#; which would be when it was made, I would presume. The Batch was # 2013. I purchased in in June of 2014. Good question. Sorry I couldn't answer it. They do have a website www.DaddyVans.com. You could ask them.

I'm guessing they are supplied by different vendors. Probably both the same size, just labeled by the vendors differently. Great helmet by the way.

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.

Sir, I just found what the expiration of the hard hat is, for 2016. I believe the hard hat was made in 2013. The hard hat you sent is only good for one year. Its supposed to have a 4 year life.

You wouldn't need any padding for years. The padding isn't a very significant part to your helmet. The padding that it comes with is good, but I still believe that you can replace it because it's Velcro

Hopefully you'll agree that this one doesn't look the same. I was looking for something that gave great protection, looked cool like a motorcycle helmet and was affordable. The Bern Berkeley does it for me. There are different sizes and colors, some have a removable liner (love that) which makes it really adjustable and others are for colder weather. Overall, though, the Bern are all curved and not weird alien looking helmets like the Tour de France riders wear. Hope that helps.

Hi, sorry for the delay. I haven't given the helmet to my child yet, therefore, I can't answer your question. I bought it based on he information provided.

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
