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.

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.
Superior technology, Tour de France proven performance and leading style are why riders like Armstrong, Petacchi, and Freire count on the Atmos. If you want the absolute best helmet for the speed and thrill of wide-open roads, this is the one for you
Costumers reviews
In 20 years of road and mountain biking I've had 3 Giros, 2 Bell, and 1 Louis Garneau helmet. This is hands down my favorite. It's the lightest and breathes the best. Even on a recent ride in 94F / 65% humidity / Sunny, my head didn't feel hot. (well, hotter than the rest of me, it was a pretty brutal ride to be honest) It's super light and very comfortable. You barely feel it on your head. The reasons I knock it down to 4 stars: 1) Pads are quite sparse and in particular they don't cover the forehead very well. There's also a gap in the center. For me this means that sweat runs into my eyes - as it evaporates it's not sweat but concentrated salt water. Ouch! (Other helmets I've had with larger forehead pads delay this issue. There are head bands on the market for this exact issue, however) 2) The rear plastic head straps are covered in a rubber coating, which cracked within a month or two - doesn't affect the function or comfort as there is a stronger plastic material underneath, but a disappointment given the price. 3) On the underside there are 3 small areas where the foam is melted or looks like it was attacked by a solvent - surface defects really, and you never see it. Doesn't affect function or external appearance but at this price I guess I expect more. My helmet was from 2008 when they still included a rigid carry pod. Apparently they don't make this anymore, which is a shame since it is a super nice feature - protect your helmet, carry your gloves, Gu and Powerbars too (It was well ventilated so things don't get stinky). - you can still get them on Ebay though...Specialized now makes one too but the Giro one looked nicer. If you've found this review to be helpful, please let me know!
