Giro helmets?
 

Just got around to using my (new to me) Atmos helmet having bought it several months ago. I am coming from a Bell (not even sure of the model).

My ONLY complaint is that it seems very noisy (wind) compared to my prior helmet.

My questions are two: 1) Have any other users noticed this phenomenon? 2) Has anyone had both the Atmos and the new Aeon - and whether there is a noticeable difference in wind noise between the two?

Thanks in advance!

Giro helmets?
 

I use an Atmos. I haven't noticed any noise but I haven't used a Bell to compare it against.

I have an atmos--it is way noiser than my catlike whisper. My GF also has an atmos and used my catlike--she commented on how much quieter the catlike was than the atmos.

i have an aeon and haven't noticed any noise. if i start noticing it now that you have mentioned it, i will hunt you down, and i will kill you.

:d

Much of the noise probably comes from the straps near your ears. Is there are way for you to adjust them to be a bit more out of the way?

just cut em off. they create a lot of drag. strapless helmets are more aero, therefor faster.

But every helmet I've ever had has straps near my ears.

My Giro Prolight is quite noisy, I have MET & it's much quieter.
I'm picking up an Atmos, later today, I'll let you know how it goes.

I guess I dont go fast enough to notice any noise with my Atmos.

I use a Atmos all the time, never noticed a noise...........nice helmet, always have used Giro's.

Have Aeon, slightly noisy when coming down at 20+ mph. Lot less noisy on my Catlike Whisper Plus (I was rather surprised on first day of riding with it).

Remove ears /thread

My Giro Advantage 2 TT helmet is really noisy. Don't care though as I only use it doing a TT. Noise=speed right?

Maybe I have hearing damage because I don't notice any wind noise with my Atmos. However, if I had to buy another helmet, I would buy something cheaper. I bought my wife a Bell mountain bike helmet from Costco for $20.00. She rides without the visor and has no complaints with it. The Bell is slighly heavier than my Atmos but has a very similar strap system.

I have the Ionos and it's noisy as ehll. It is an issue at the track as I cannot hear anything over the PA including me getting yelled at.
