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 tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and 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; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty musch anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

Excellent choice for us bucketheads. Very comfortable, not noticeably heavier than the helmets designed for the smallheads. Customer Review: I didn't lose my head!

I was in a bicycle race about a year ago when at approximately 20 mph I went over the handle bars. The first thing to hit the pavement was the Atlas (at left front). Even though I had a partial tear in my left shoulder, I suffered no head injury. The helmet was cracked and had a gash in it that was approximately 3 inches long. Without it, I might not be writing this review. After the crash I went on line to look for a new helmet. I thoroughly researched helmets. I wanted to see which have the best safety ratings. Turns out that Atlas II is rated very highly. One of the reasons that it is rated highly is that it has no protuberances that can catch on something at the time of a fall. This helmet got better marks than some helmets costing 3 or 4 times as much. The other advantage for me is that it fits my big round head.
