2.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the Aerohead Helmet Pod from its packaging. Inspect the pod for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. If any damage is found, contact customer support immediately.
2.2 Helmet Placement
- Open the helmet pod.
- Gently place your Giro Aerohead or Aerohead Ultimate helmet inside the pod, ensuring it fits snugly without forcing. The pod is designed to accommodate the helmet's specific shape.
- Ensure any visors or accessories are properly secured or removed as necessary to prevent damage during storage.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Transportation
The Aerohead Helmet Pod features a handle on the front for ease of transportation. Always use this handle when carrying the pod to ensure secure handling and prevent accidental drops. The durable outer material provides protection against minor impacts during transit.
3.2 Storage
When storing your helmet in the pod, ensure the pod is placed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The vents on the bottom of the pod are designed to allow for air circulation, helping to prevent moisture buildup and maintain helmet integrity.
4. Care and Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
- To clean the exterior of the helmet pod, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
- For the interior, a soft, dry cloth can be used to remove dust or debris. Ensure the pod is completely dry before storing your helmet.
4.2 Storage Recommendations
Store the helmet pod in a location where it is protected from heavy objects that could crush or deform it. While the pod offers protection, excessive force can still cause damage to both the pod and the helmet inside.

5.1 Common Issues
- Helmet does not fit: Ensure you are using a compatible Giro Aerohead or Aerohead Ultimate helmet. The pod is specifically designed for these models.
- Pod closure issues: Check for any obstructions preventing the pod from closing properly. Ensure the helmet is seated correctly within the pod.
