Advantages: Lightweight & looks great ! Lance wears one ! Disadvantages: Expensive
...championships, Triathlon and Iron Man world championships.
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....

Advantages: Let your feet breath and have a stylish design Disadvantages: let in water

The laces under the outer layer protecting them from mud and been worn. The great new design of material allowing your feet to breath, however because of this they did let in a bit of water, but only round the back. They way i overcame the problem was by rubbing in dubbin. A waterproof gel you can buy in any sports shop.
You may have seen the new adidas f50 tunits that have just been released. My brother has the same size feet as me and a couple of days ago bought the tunits. Before writing this review i thought id compare them. The tunits may have been lighter and you were able to do fancy things with the insoles and studs...
