i wanted one, but they only go up to medium, they don't make a large!!! my head isn't that abnormal but theres no way its going to fit in a medium. D2 here i come!!
Giro also refuse to pay the fees involved with getting Australian Standards Stickers. So they prefer to put on a sticker saying it not intended for road, or racing use. So a lot of shops won't sell them, because people look at the sticker and think it's a sub-quality product. Silly really. I guess there is insurance issues as well. This is a very brief explanation. I got the full story one day and it totally blew me away with the complications of it all. Cheers

i heard about that too.
Thats why bike shops don't stock pro-tec anymore.
It cost helmet companys heaps of money to insure there helmets and some just cant afford it

Alright....
Giro: we got to see the new range for Bell and Giro at a dealer show last week, hopefully it shouldn't be too long until shops have them in stock.
Standards tests: The Australian standards tests are actually more rigorous than the US ones, but having said that Giro still make great helmets and they have saved my head.
Protec: as far as I understand, only the skate helmets have been available of late, not the BMX spec ones, but they should be soon, just waiting on another shipment.

I rang repco the other day about when the new giros will arrive and they told me they have no idea, so I wouldn't hold your breath. Gotta love the bicycle industry.
