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.
Sports reviews of Giro Atlas II Sport Oversized Bike Helmet
Customer Review: Saved!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Through a combination of inattention, innate awkwardness and gravity, I took a fall off my Gary Fisher the other day and landed flat on my back on the pavement. I completely cracked the helmet's foam shell but suffered no injury. The helmet did exactly what it was supposed to do which was sacrifice itself to save me a skull fracture. I am a nurse anesthetist and have spent many long hours in the operating room anesthetizing people with the type of head injury I'm convinced this helmet spared me from. Aside from a headache of a day's duration, I had no injury. If you bike without a helmet, please get yourself an organ donation card. If you have a larger than average head, get yourself a Giro Atlas IICustomer Review: Bicycle helmet

The Atlas II is one of the few bicycle helmets designed for larger than average heads. It fills that need nicely. Otherwise it appears well constructed and similar to other Giro and competitive products for similar prices. If you have a large head, this one is a winner at a very reasonable cost.
