Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: The Giro Ionos is simply the best! I rode close to 18,000 miles over the last 5 years and just had my first accident at 30+ mph. I woke up in the ambulance, after a concussion, CT scan confirmed internal bleeding which shortly went away. I didn't have any external injuries to the head. The Giro Ionos more than did its job. It split in 6 places yet remained intact! I've seen others come apart in crashes. So what's the verdict? I'm going shopping for my next Ionos. When your life is at stake, don't screw around, get the Ionos. You may pay a little more but isn't your life worth it?

Strengths: COMFORT, lightweight, great ventilation and looksWeaknesses: None so farBottom Line: I have worn an Atmos for the last two seasons and recently purchased an Ionos to upgrade. WOW, the comfort of this helmet is unbelievable. Fantastic wind ventilation, light and great looks. The new Roc-loc 5 is a great upgrade, as now with a turn of a small dial you can micro adjust on the fly. If you haven't tried one on and you are looking for a new helmet, this is a must. Great deals on Ebay, you can pick up a 2011 model brand new for under $160

Strengths: Perfect fit, lightweight, great air ventillationWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: I have been looking for a helmet that fit properly for quite a long time. I had a Bell helmet that was too tight even when adjusted to the largest position. I'd get a headache after an hour and it lasted all day.
The Ionos fit perfectly. It also keeps my head much cooler than my Bell helmet. It is also noticeably quieter.
The Ionos is very light and very strong.
It's pricey but I really don't care about the money because I'm protecting my head.
If you decide to go cheap when protecting your head maybe you don't need to bother with a helmet at all.

Strengths: Impact dispersion and comfort.Weaknesses: None.Bottom Line: Simply put, the Giro Ionos saved my life, after a down hill, front tire blow out, and a three-point landing and slide down the asphalt on my head, shoulder, and flank. The helmet was shredded on the outer surface and cracked throughout the interior as the force of striking the pavement was dispersed throughout the helmet.
