    first impression is it looks almost the same as the atmos. for those who like to stand out in the crowd and have the latest 'blng' i'm not sure it'll fit their criterea.

    i have the atmos and wonder how it really compares...

    I agree it does look gorgeous and the integral 'skeleton' co-moulding with foam adds stiffness and protection to counter the larger ventilation holes, but I am disappointed there isn't a better solution to the size adjustment.

    The helmet has two 'arrow' shapes you press down on to tighten the helmet at the back, but you have to press them simultaneously to get a symmetrical fit - and there's no way you could do it one-handed when riding. I find this a disappointing lack of detail for a helmet so expensive, considering that the Bell Sweep R is half the price and has a clever dial on the back that you can adjust to loosen or tighten the helmet with one hand while riding.. I'd expect such innovation at double the price too!

    Audiolathe - never had a problem with the Giro system before myself. I can easily use it one handed (finger and thumb?). Most cyclists can ride no handed anyway. I'm not entirely sure why you want to put the helmet on/off while riding either. It's a tried and tested system. Every brand is different that's the great thing about choice

    The Atmos is a great helmet but Giro have still improved on it with the Ionos

    Light, perfect fit, cool and very comfortable while giving a good sense of security. Looks decent as well, although that is not, for me, a major factor. Well worth the extra few pounds.

    I keep hearing about the great fit. I never had a problem with the fit of the Giro Atmos, Pneumo, or Bell helmets. The fit on the Ionos puts pressure on my temple area and gives me a headache after about 20 seconds.

    I've never been happy with my Atmos - it's always felt 'hard' on top of my enormous head. Tried an Ionos last night and ordered one immediately - it was genuinely comfortable, rather than just light. That means I can tighten it, which means it's safer. And I could order one that matches my bike. So the expense is justified :)

    I have ordered the Giro Ionos Livestrong Edt.

    I tried a different colorway in the store and the fit is simply amazing! I can´t wait to get minE!!!
