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.

The helmet is great and thanks to GIRO. The colors on the advertisement on the website are wrong, I got the Pink/Silver helmet following the colors as indicated on the picture on the website, I thought it would have details in Pink/silver and most of it would be black as on the picture, but it is completely different, is all silver/White/Rose (not pink). Is a shame to have mistakes like these nowadays where you can find cameras avery cellphone.....and I pay for the mistake!!!

Reading many reviews on that helmet and being a pro cyclist I placed that order.
The helmet arrived late , I was already gone to Europe for a training camp for the all summer till sept, so a friend had to bring it to me.
When I got it I was surprised to see it looked like a refurbished or used helmet with very bad manufacturing quality or an old stock , I am very disappointed but I'm still in Europe and cant return it.
i dont know if the problem is the helmet maker or the vendor

I always rode as a young girl on my bmx bike, down stairs and through the streets, with no helmet. It was the early 80's and no one wore helmets... As an adult I went for a while riding without one, but ultimately, we all know it's something we should do. Having someone in my family sustain brain injuries REALLY drove that point home.
This helmet was way more money than I wanted to spend on a helmet but it's the ONLY helmet I've ever tried on that felt, well, barely there.... You can easily forget that you're wearing it, which is what I was looking for. After all, I wanted to use it every day, not spend $50 on a helmet I hated and would never wear. The atmos also leaves your senses intact... I sometimes feel like my hearing or quickness of response would be influenced when I try on a bulky hemet. I DO use it all the time and will buy another once mine gets too old. Also, having a smaller head, most helmets look awful on me, like I was attacked by fungus and turned into a mushroomhead. The atmos tapers nicely around the edges which looks way better.
The adjustment on the helmet is great and easy, plus the straps stay in a good spot and you can adjust their angle too. The only tiny thing I'd change is the same thing an earlier reviewer noted... where the helmet meets the very top of the head is a little bit flat for my head, so there is small contact point there that I wish weren't there. Aside from that It's perfect and thanks Giro!
I commute as year round as I can in Chicago, so in the winter I just slap on a helmet cover over it and a thinly knit hat underneath and it becomes amply warm enough.
Lastly, the most glowing Giro helmet recommendation probably comes from Wisconsin. My husband and I were riding up there when we heard that some student nearby had been hit by a truck. Actually, he fell under it and the truck wheel ran over his head. He was wearing one of their helmets and was absolutely fine (at least physically) and went on to pass his school exams that same month.

This helmet has fantastic, circulation, is light, and comes in several sizes and color combinations.
Two slight negatives:
1. No sun visor, but I solved that by buying the visor for a similar model, drilling holes in this one and gluing it in place.
2. The padding is sparse, so it feels a bit uncomfortable on the top of the scalp.
