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 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....

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...
