My new Giro Ionos
Posted by josiahng on February 27, 2008
My helmet sponsor Giro just recently came out with a new helmet. I’m like a kid in a toy store when it comes to new gear and was really excited to try on my new helmet. I pulled out the new Ionos helmet out of it’s box and tried it on in front of a mirror. It was a perfect fit and looked absolutely cool! With it’s enormous 21 vents, I don’t ever have to worry about my head heating up.
At first I didn’t really see how they have made it better than the Atmos but after using it for two weeks, I have to say I do like it a bit better.
It’s a few grams heavier than the older Atmos model. The two models look quite similar but one difference is the Ionos fits a bit more snug. Other than the fit, I think the quality of the padding has improved over the older model.
The Ionos comes in three sizes and costs about $225 usd. My size small weight in at 296 grams.
