    Question Giro Atmos Helmet in pink

    Giro has a 2007 Atmos helmet in pink/silver. MSRP is $174.99, which I don't want to spend. I may need to wait until the 2008 comes out to get a deal, but hoping someone may have found this helmet at discount somewhere ... anybody?! THANKS!

    I have an older one that's white with pink flames - I think it's a 2005 model. You might find that someplace.

    Pink Helmets

    My BF is a sales rep for Bell/Giro. He tells me to recommend the Bell Sweep R in pink and white for 129.95 or the Giro Pneumo for 145.00 in pink and pewter. They're not quite as nice as the Atmos, but they're "pretty nice."

    He says "everyone likes the Giro Atmos in pink but nobody buys it."

    cheers,
    Kate

    If the Sweep-R fits you nicely, be aware that the Atmos might not fit you at all, and vice versa.

    I have a Sweep R with I LOOOOOVE tremendously. I had a great deal (half-price) on an Atmos last spring so I got one as well. Wickedly good looking helmet, but it's really not comfortable on my head. I have worn it for a while because it was the only helmet I had with me while on a long trip away from home, but I was most happy to find my Sweep waiting for me at home.

    The Eclipse fits differently. Not bad on me. It's also very light and way cheaper than the Atmos, which is overrated in my book...

    I bought the Pneumo last year, I also had the choice between the Pneumo, Atmos and the Bell Sweep R. But in the end I decided on Pneumo since I felt that the Atmos was to expensive and I already saw some damage on the Bell just from being on the shelf in the shop (or somebody used it for soccer practice)

    And I haven't regretted my decission, it must be the best fitting helmet I ever bought.
