Amazon.com Product Description
The Giro Atmos bike helmet continues to set the standard for high performance, matchless style, and comfortable fit. The Atmos offers such features as a proprietary in-mold design that provides the strength to support 26 cooling vents, a benchmark in-mold roll cage, and a low-profile silhouette. The vents are particularly comforting, as they work in tandem with an intricate network of internal channels to create a cooling system dubbed Wind Channel ventilation. The upshot? The Atmos is one of the coolest helmets around, making it a top choice for road, 'cross, and XC riders alike. 
The helmet's Wind Tunnel ventilation thrusts cool, fresh air over and around the rider's head. | Ionos Technologies
The Atmos employs a number of advanced Giro technologies. The Atmos' in-mold construction, for example, fuses the helmet's outer shell with the impact-absorbing EPS liner. Not only does this reinforce both layers, but the "exoskeleton" allows Giro to engineer helmets that are lighter, more durable, and better ventilated. This culminates in the helmet's proprietary Wind Tunnel ventilation system, which combines active vents with internal exhaust channels that thrust cool, fresh air over and around the rider's head while forcing heat and stale air out. By definition, a channel is a route through which anything passes or progresses. In the case of Giro helmets, the internal channels are carefully crafted and are one of the keys to a well-ventilated helmet. This significant increase in air channeling makes a difference that riders will feel immediately. Reinforcement and Fit
The Atmos also includes a roll-cage reinforcement--a tough web of DuPont nylon molded inside the helmet's EPS foam liner. This reinforcement provides an extra measure of strength and integrity that you'll never even notice--unless you need it. Finally, the Atmos helmet is engineered using Super Fit technology, making it so comfortable that it virtually disappears when you put it on. The proprietary three-size Super Fit system is based on "human scale factors" data and nearly 20 years of crafting helmets for the best riders in the world. The result is a helmet that fits 98 percent of the world's population, yet looks and feels like it was made just for you. The Atmos helmet weighs only 275 grams and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets. Helmet Tips
You should always... - Wear a helmet when you ride
- Wear your helmet low to protect your forehead
- Fasten your buckle and tighten your chin strap
- Check your adjustments every time you wear your helmet
- Inspect your helmet regularly for signs of wear or damage
- Wear a helmet designed for your activity
About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped him tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, resulting in the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking and better fitting than traditional designs yet still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world: young bloods and old-timers; hardcores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet. Giro is based in Scotts Valley, California.

This is a very nice fitting, goodlooking, and lightweight helmet, but performance bike had the same helmet for $129.00. I would send it back, but I am ready to ride!

This helmet is really worth the price especially if you wait for the price to go down. The ventilation is superior and it is really comfortable. The colors are great too!
Great product November 15, 2009

Apart from a small scratch on the top of the helmet delivery method and timing was great!
The product looks great, but the fit is not quite as comfy as my Met. However it stays on firmly and was not a source of irritation on my first half ironman use of it - or the training sessions prior. Happily I have not tested it in a crash, but I felt it was a worthy upgrade for faster riding in TT's and Tri's. Compared to other expenses - not unreasonable to get the best protection!
I'm not a vegetable thanks to Giro Atmos November 5, 2009

First thing is that this helmet works for its most important feature: to protect your noggin. I crashed coming down a mild hill in July and Jim Kirk shoulder rolled onto the payment. I was going 28 mph and hit a road hazard so I impacted very hard. My shoulder hammered the pavement along with the side of my head and I sustained NO head injuries or any kind of temporary mental fog or spaciness. Unfortunately my collarbone broke really bad and now I have more titanium in my body than on my bike :-) The helmet was cracked in 5 places on the interior foam too, so clearly it did what it was designed to do.
Now onto the other features, less important but still worth considering. I bought this helmet because my previous Bell helmet was way too hot and I needed more airflow. It was a definite improvement, but my bell was about $40 and this cost $130. It was in no way $90 worth cooler. Still, my head is more valuable so I can't complain. Also, when I looked at the higher end cooler ones they obviously have to remove foam and hence protection so I think this is a good trade-offf between price, performance, and airflow. Otherwise it is very comfortable and light, lots of adjustments to tweak the fit, and the only issue I've had is the rear adjuster tabs for the head size seem to slide off. They are more or less aesthetic only and the helmet stays adjusted, but for the price I was a little disappointed - until it saved my life. So for the price and cheesy tabs I knock it down 1 star.
I found out that Giro will give 30% off on a replacement helmet, so that is pretty cool support too.
