Hi everyone,
Just wanted to give a recommendation for the quality, safety and customer service offered by Giro and their dstributors Madison.
I had a HUGE crash last night, unfortunately a cat ran straight across me whilst at the bottom of a fast descent approx 35 mph. This resulted in a broken collar bone, plus nasty road rash and wounds on my left side. Thankfully my Giro Atmos helmet did its job brilliantly. Its cracked but no concussion or head damage what so ever. The comfort and ventilation of this helmet prior to this was first class.
To top it off, Giro / Madison offer a reduced price replacement service following accidents, So I will have a new one at approx half RRP.
PLEASE PLEASE, always wear a helmet. I know some people are sceptical - myself included before - but I am certain that without a good helmet I would at best had serious concussion and at worst who knows. This was an accident in an instant. I don't know what happened to the cat. The crazy thing is whilst I was lying in a mess on the road 2 cars passed without stopping! Luckily some good people stopped and called an ambulance shortyly afterwards.
Anyway, take care all and please always wear a good well fitting lid
