Advantages: Lightweight & looks great ! Lance wears one ! Disadvantages: Expensive
/rain/mud etc (!). In the box is also a "helmet pod", a kind of zip up black case to protect the helmet when not in use - there's a buckle up handle and also space for cycling gloves and glasses to keep everything safe and together - a rather good idea. These sell for £20 odd by themselves !
There's also a small orange ID sticker, for you to fill in all your details and stick on the inside of the helmet just in case, although whether any paramedic type person will take any notice, or even see it, is another thing. I've not bothered.
Buying a Giro hat avails you of the excellent Giro Crash Replacement Programme. Anyone with a Giro helmet up to three years old can replace it at a reduced price (-20% I think) if it has been involved in an accident. The replacement will always be the same model as the original or the nearest current equivalent ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Giro Atmos 2006
Advantages: Very cool and sexy, Packed with features, Good sound quality through headphones, Disadvantages: Built in speaker quality, battery when online, durability, and price (but its Apple so y'know :) )
First thing is first. With any Apple product you know it will be very expensive, very cool and pretty simple to use. I have been an Apple fan for a while and have have an iPod mini (4gb), iPod video (30gb) and now my iPod touch (as well as a Mac mini =] ).
If you are wanting an MP3 player that will just play your music then you may be put off the iPod touch as for the same price you can have a considerably bigger music player. However the Album Art scrolling feature- known as Cover Flow make it more interesting, and there is nothing more fun than scrolling through your albums with your fingers!
However this is a lot more than an MP3 player. Although it will hold 2000 songs or tonnes of videos it also has a lot more features built in. With its built in Wi-Fi you are able to use Safari to surf the internet. In my experience the internet ...
Advantages: intuitive, stylish, fun, great music player, variety of features, internet function Disadvantages: fingerprints! no camera, no built in speakers, only available in black currently
8GB iPod Touch
As my boyfriend's birthday approached, I was panicking as to what to get him as men are a nightmare to shop for and I really wanted to get something exciting. I noticed that he kept borrowing my ipod nano and initially planned to get him one of his own but on the Apple website I saw the ipod touch and worked out that if I got him that then I could steal it and use it!
From the Apple website, the 8GB iPod Touch cost me £199 with free postage and packing and a free optional engraving. I thought this was a reasonable price it was nice and simple to order it online. I chose the free engraving option and this enabled me to have a two line engraving on the back (top centre) of the ipod. Obviously, it is a very good idea to check your spelling at this point as the ipod cannot be returned due your mistakes when ...
Giro Helmet Pod Features: Recommended for protecting your helmet from spills and knocks when it\'s tossed into the flight bag, or into the back of the pick-up en route to the races. Similar styling to Oakley Vault sunglass cases - very light, very stylish and very impact resistant. Wide, Lycra-net, integral strap restrains helmet and prevents it rocking about inside the pod.
