Giro Atlas II Sport Oversized Bike Helmet

With a rugged, classic design the Giro Atlas II Sport Bike Helmet is built for riders who want a comfortable, secure fit in a larger-than-average size. This sport-bike helmet is constructed with in-mold technology that fuses a tough outer microshell to the helmet's EPS foam liner. The fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, making the helmet lighter, cooler and tougher.

The Atlas II utilizes Giro's Acu Dial system, which combines single-handed adjustment with a full-fit band for a quick, sure fit. This Giro helmet features a snap-fit visor, and 18 vents that allow cool, fresh air in and stale, warm air out. The Atlas II sport helmet comes in Giro's Universal Fit XL UL size (57-64cm), carefully sculpted and size-specific to simplify the fitting process. Giro's Atlas II helmet is a lightweight 330 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 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.



Customer Review: Large helmet

I have a large head and most bike helmets fit tight and give me a headache. This helmet is light weight comfortable and is well made. Very happy with this purchase.

Customer Review: Large AND Light, and the price is RIGHT!

After failing to fit a helmet from 2 sporting good stores and 3 bike shops, I ordered this some months ago. It fit fine AND is lighter than most other helmets.
