Giro Giro Atmos 2005

Advantages: Lightoweight, Looks Great!
Disadvantages: None

...The Giro Atmos makes you look and feel great. The carbon fibre inserts make it very lightweight which makes it go un noticable so you don't feel as if you're riding round with a weight over your head. It uses a RocLoc system to give an adjustable perfect fit around the head. The Atmos has 26 vents which gives it great ventilation to keep your head cool on hot days, along with the coolmax paddings which can be taken out to be washed.It comes with a helmet pod so you can carry and transport your helmet safely. The Atmos is unbelievably light and extremely cool! It may be pricey but it is worth every penny! With this helmet on the market theres no excuses for not wearing one.... Read review

...I've been riding bikes for years and have always avoided wearing a helmet but I live in the centre of Glasgow and recently my flatmate has been wiped off his bike a couple of by gormless car drivers. Admittedly one was quite comical, he was passing a car and the little old lady didn't check her mirror when she swung her door open... So this got me thinking, and seeing as my cycling is becomming more and more serious and have a lot of money invested in my bike I thought it time I invested some money in my head. Giro are a very good, well known manufacturer of cycle helmets. Both for extreme off road stuff and simple leisure cycling. The company started in 1985 when a man named Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in his garage. Business boomed and soon he had to take over his next door neighbours garage... Read review
