Product Description
The Giro Atmos Road Bike Helmet is constructed with in-mold technology that fuses a tough outer microshell to the helmet's EPS foam liner. The fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, making the helmet lighter, cooler and tougher. The Atmos utilizes Giro's Roc Loc 4 system, which includes adjustments for fit tensioning and helmet positioning, plus a supple rubber over-molded fit belt for both comfort and stability. This Giro helmet features wind-tunnel ventilation that combines 26 active vents with internal exhaust channels that force cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing stale, warm air out. Giro's Atmos helmet also features in-mold carbon reinforcement, and a roll cage. The Atmos road helmet comes in three Super Fit sizes, which combine human scale factor data with handcrafted headforms and rider feedback for ultimate comfort. Giro's Atmos helmet is a lightweight 275 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets. Helmet Tips--You Should Always... - Wear a helmet when you ride
- Wear your helmet low in the front to protect the forehead
- Fasten your buckle and tighten your chin strap
- Check your adjustments every time you wear your helmet
- Inspect your helmet regularly for signs of wear or damage
- Wear a helmet designed for your activity
About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty musch anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

 bad experience July 19, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Reading many reviews on that helmet and being a pro cyclist I placed that order.
The helmet arrived late , I was already gone to Europe for a training camp for the all summer till sept, so a friend had to bring it to me.
When I got it I was surprised to see it looked like a refurbished or used helmet with very bad manufacturing quality or an old stock , I am very disappointed but I'm still in Europe and cant return it.
i dont know if the problem is the helmet maker or the vendor
 The helmet for people who don't want to wear a helmet.... May 23, 2008

I always rode as a young girl on my bmx bike, down stairs and through the streets, with no helmet. It was the early 80's and no one wore helmets... As an adult I went for a while riding without one, but ultimately, we all know it's something we should do. Having someone in my family sustain brain injuries REALLY drove that point home.
This helmet was way more money than I wanted to spend on a helmet but it's the ONLY helmet I've ever tried on that felt, well, barely there.... You can easily forget that you're wearing it, which is what I was looking for. After all, I wanted to use it every day, not spend $50 on a helmet I hated and would never wear. The atmos also leaves your senses intact... I sometimes feel like my hearing or quickness of response would be influenced when I try on a bulky hemet. I DO use it all the time and will buy another once mine gets too old. Also, having a smaller head, most helmets look awful on me, like I was attacked by fungus and turned into a mushroomhead. The atmos tapers nicely around the edges which looks way better.
The adjustment on the helmet is great and easy, plus the straps stay in a good spot and you can adjust their angle too. The only tiny thing I'd change is the same thing an earlier reviewer noted... where the helmet meets the very top of the head is a little bit flat for my head, so there is small contact point there that I wish weren't there. Aside from that It's perfect and thanks Giro!
I commute as year round as I can in Chicago, so in the winter I just slap on a helmet cover over it and a thinly knit hat underneath and it becomes amply warm enough.
Lastly, the most glowing Giro helmet recommendation probably comes from Wisconsin. My husband and I were riding up there when we heard that some student nearby had been hit by a truck. Actually, he fell under it and the truck wheel ran over his head. He was wearing one of their helmets and was absolutely fine (at least physically) and went on to pass his school exams that same month.
What a helmet! March 16, 2008

This helmet has fantastic, circulation, is light, and comes in several sizes and color combinations.
Two slight negatives:
1. No sun visor, but I solved that by buying the visor for a similar model, drilling holes in this one and gluing it in place.
2. The padding is sparse, so it feels a bit uncomfortable on the top of the scalp.

It's kind of silly paying this much for a piece of fancy styrofoam, so I can't call it a killer deal at $109. But it does fit me great, is very light, and protects me in mad style, so I pleased.
