    I got my new Atmos today, wow. It fits better than the monza. It fits a little deeper on my head instead of on top like the monza. Much less mushroomish and more airy. Really like it!

    I had the Giro Pneumo for 4 years until its retaining system broke. It always was vaguely uncomfortable, and the split right at the center of my forehead seemed to pinch me. In fact, no matter how tight or loose I made it, it seemed to give me a big red dot (or even lump) right at the top of my forehead.
    I just replaced it with the Bell Sweep R, and I find it to be MUCH more comfortable!! Like it loads better. The only issue I have with it is I'm currently trying to find a helmet-mounted taillight to fit it, and can't seem to find one that spans the available vent holes. I think I've come up with a jury-rigged solution that will work, tho.

    I have the Athmos and I'm very pleased with it. I always have to fiddle the straps around a lot, but after a lot of fiddling it seems to fit quite nicely. It does take some time, though, and maybe you have to pull the strap that goes backwards (under your ear) and towards the back of the helmet in order to get the length right. This can be a bit troublesome as it's quite tight, but eventually I'm sure you'll get them right. Take care not to get your hair stuck in the little buckle though - I just tried that and it never made it to top five of cleverest things I've done. Trigress pulled the helmet off really quickly - ouch!
    Think orange. Earn success.
