I like Giro's, but they feel like they are poor value for money. The build quality is basic, and so is the finish. The rol-loc system is also awful - I replaced it 3 times in 2 years on my Atmos, (which I have to say protected my head admirably in a crash last week). I also replaced the pads 4 or 5 times because they anti-bacterial stuff they are supposed to have is so poor.
Had to replace in a hurry so bought a Kask k50 - I have to say that the build quality is so much better than the Giro and it's much more comfortable.
I'll also be getting a Lazer on crash replacement from Madison - will be interesting to see how they compare.
