Sea Otter Tech Day 1: Giant helmets
Giant has pulled the lid off of its high-end helmet line. The range includes everything from aero to trail, and while claims of superior ventilation are the focus for Giant, we were impressed with the price tags. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

The four vents are channeled into a narrow tail vent. When asked why the exhaust vents weren't larger, Giant said that if the vents were too large the air flow would not be enough to push the hot air out of the helmet. The smaller vents at higher speed, paired with the deep channels, keep air moving across the head. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com
