Product Description
Ionos features In-mold construction with a sleek, four-piece shell. In-mold construction fuses the helmet's outer shell with the impact-absorbing EPS liner. The two materials are fused together, and one is reinforced by the other. This exoskeleton' allows Ionos to be lighter, more durable and more ventilated than traditional road helmets.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Ionos is the most technologically advanced road cycling helmet Giro has ever created. The Ionos is built around a proprietary in-mold composite sub-frame (ICS) that provides the strength to support 21 of the largest vents ever carved into a bike helmet. These massive vents, coupled with an intricate network of internal channels, creates a cooling system dubbed Wind Tunnel ventilation, making Ionos the coolest, best-ventilated helmet on the market. The helmet is perfect for keeping Grand Tour champions like Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador cool on the hottest days and over the most tortuous Alpine climbs.



The helmet's Wind Tunnel ventilation thrusts cool, fresh air over and around the rider's head.
Ionos Technologies
The Ionos helmet employs some of the most advanced technologies that Giro has ever used in a bike helmet. The Ionos' in-mold construction, for example, fuses the helmet's outer shell with the impact-absorbing EPS liner. Not only does this reinforce both layers, but the "exoskeleton" also allows Giro to engineer helmets that are lighter, more durable, and better ventilated. This culminates in the helmet's proprietary Wind Tunnel ventilation system, which combines active vents with internal exhaust channels that thrust cool, fresh air over and around the rider's head while forcing heat and stale air out. By definition, a channel is a route through which anything passes or progresses. In the case of Giro helmets, the internal channels are carefully crafted and are one of the keys to a well-ventilated helmet. This significant increase in air channeling makes a difference that riders will feel immediately.

The secret behind the vent technology is the in-mold composite subframe, which lets Giro offer huge vents without compromising protection. The Ionos features a visible weave of carbon reinforcement that runs through the helmet's liner and around the vents. By using these advanced materials, the sub-frame can be tuned to provide incredible structural support, impact dispersion, and resistance to penetration.

Padding and Fit
The Ionos offers X-Static helmet padding, which is entwined with an environmentally friendly silver-coated fabric called Silver Fiber. Found exclusively in Ionos helmets, the fabric provides anti-microbial and thermodynamic benefits, so in addition to keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, your helmet will stay fresh all year round. Finally, the Ionos helmet is engineered using Super Fit technology, making it so comfortable that it virtually disappears when you put it on. The proprietary three-size Super Fit system is based on "human scale factors" data and nearly 20 years of crafting helmets for the best riders in the world. The result is a helmet that fits 98 percent of the world's population, yet looks and feels like it was made just for you.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent helmet   August 25, 2010
Chris Archer (Colorado US)
Light and airy, this is one of the best helmets I've ever used. Looks sharp too! My only minor complaint is that the cushioning strips should be a little thicker as the thinner strips are not as comfortable as they could be.


2 out of 5 stars Better try it yourself in a store - for comfort, fit and quality   August 2, 2010
E. Cartis (New York City)
After the biker in front of me was almost hit by a nut bus driver in NYC, I decided to change my 5-6 year old helmet (with two weeks of no-biking, following that event). After checking all reviews online, I was convinced by Giro, and went to the local store to check the size (M or L) and decide between Ionos or Atmos. Surprisingly, I was disappointed with the internals, comfort and product quality for both models at this price. There is no significant difference between the models, except a bug net that Ionos has vs Atmos (who doesn't). Additionally, the adjustable straps (both models) that sit at the back of your head are attached to the underneath of the helmet with two very flimsy connectors which have a snap - easily removable (wish I could post a photo here). It might be for cleaning (doesn't make sense thou) - in any case, I don't want those to come out so fast in case of an accident. I was disappointed, as I read this helmet was one of the toughest out there. Since I'm a product designer, I manage testing and breaking products (to check safety) quite often. I couldn't make sense of these connectors. Plus these carbon reinforcements are pure marketing, they have no actual role. Well, maybe the tapes keep the shell together after it broke in pieces in said impact. But that's all.

Surprisingly, I found another helmet out there in the store. I had not heard of it before, I was not expecting it. There were no reviews on Amazon (was checking my mobile) and reviews in general were hard to find. But it had an AMAZING fit. The back has an adjustable dial (instead of the sliders, like this one) with cushion on the inside. Excellent product quality and comfort! The straps that go on the cheek/ side and under your chin are attached to the top of the helmet with a very intelligent solution. Much more robust. It's the Rudy Project Kontact - got it in Matte Black and Silver/ Red. It was $25 cheaper than the Giro. More comfortable, excellent quality and design.

Posting this to encourage readers the good old way of shopping - go try yourselves for fit, quality and comfort in the store, don't just read the reviews. You might find something that will surprise you, like it happened to me.

Safe biking!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent product, absolutely confortable   June 21, 2010
Robert Castillo V (Costa Rica)
Excelent product, absolutely confortable. I am very please with the helmet. I think is the best decision.
It fits confatably and has a nice look. You can feel the excellent refreshing air ventilation.


5 out of 5 stars giro atmos helmet   May 9, 2010
William Magnus (VT)
i have had a number of good helmets but this is by far the best. it fits my head and best of all it does not sit on top of my head like the pneumo did. Plus it came with a partial liner for colder days that i see a lot. now you would expect for this price it should be special, and i admit it is but when you look at one helmet to another and see that there are very similar materials involved its hard to rationalize the cost. again the best i have worn
