Review for Giro Savant Helmet with MIPS – 2018
The Savant offers authentic race-inspired style and performance with a plush, comfortable fit that’s ready to go the distance. The slim design combines impressive ventilation from 25 Wind Tunnel vents, with the secure feel and convenience of the adjustable Roc Loc 5 fit and stability system. And with the light weight and durability of In-Mold construction, it won’t weight you down. Plush interior padding Classic Road Styling In-Mold Polycarbonate Shell with EPS Liner – The In-Mold construction process permanently fuses a light-yet-durable outer shell with the helmet’s impact absorbing EPS foam liner, enhancing the strength of both parts. This fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, creating a one-piece exoskeleton that allows the helmet to be lighter, more durable, and better ventilated than helmets with shells that are fastened or adhered to the liner. Roc Loc 5 Fit System – The industry benchmark in comfort, stability, adjustablity and weight savings. In addition to enhancing the fit and comfort of helmets, Roc Loc 5 allows you to easily custom tune the fit tension and the fore-aft tilt of the helmet in seconds using a single hand. And it’s lighter than comparable systems too, making it the ultimate in skull-hugging luxury. 25 Wind Tunnel Vents with Internal Channeling – Giro helmets are developed utilizing their proprietary Wind Tunnel ventilation system. This elaborate design combines active vents in the helmet’s shell with exhaust channels inside the helmet that thrust fresh, cool air over and around the rider’s head while forcing heat and stale air out. It’s the most effective cooling system available, and a difference you can feel every time you ride. Mips Equipped – Mips is a Brain Protection System. MIPS sets a new standard in helmet safety. Developed by brain surgeons and scientists to reduce rotational forces on the brain caused by angled impacts to the head. In a helmet with MIPS Brain Protection System the shell and the liner are separated by a low friction layer. When a helmet with Mips is subjected to an angled impact, the low friction layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head.
