The Atmos is Giro's current top of the range model, primarily targetted at road cyclists, although just as suitable for mountain-or leisure-bikers - there's no peak though...
Colour options (as you can see in the picture) are Team Rabobank (blue/orange), Team Fassa Bortolo (blue/white), White/silver, Team Discovery (blue/white/yellow), and black. These all look great, but I chose the white one. I think there are also a few "limited edition" colours that are available in certainl places, but these may cost you a few more ££...
In between whatever colour you choose for the helmet shell are 26 "Wind Tunnel" design vents that draw air through the helmet for excellent cooling whilst riding, and although I have only used this hat in the not so hot UK winter/Spring 2006, I can certainly...

...The GiroAtmos 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....

This is my helmet and if you read my reviews regular you can probably tell I’m working my way through my stuff head to toe slowly. I do have a Giro helmet but I’m not sure if I like it's fit – I got it for mountain biking but still end up wearing this old thing all the time.
Short and sweat review I think you’ll agree – reason: simply that if it’s a good helmet you shouldn’t have to say much, it keeps your head in good shape and is not ‘too’ uncomfortable as it does it....

I bought my 5 year old nephew one of these for christmas and he absolutely loved it, he still does, his little face when he opened the box was brilliant!
The price did seem a little steep at first, but it turned out to be worth every penny.
