Review for Giro Aerohead Ultimate MIPS Aero Cycling Helmet – 2019

Giro pioneered the aerodynamic helmet category with the original Advantage in 1985, and now we are redefining it with the new Aerohead Ultimate MIPS our fastest time trial helmet ever. We leveraged every resource available to create a helmet that tops the podium in speed, weight, style and comfort. The shell is constructed with TeXtreme carbon fiber, an advanced material that is lighter and stronger than other carbon composites. The wrap-around eye shield offers an unblocked field of view with a huge aerodynamic benefit and the shield is made by ZEISS Optics for unrivaled clarity. A magnetic anchor attachment keeps the shield secure, yet easy to remove, and it can be stored in the “flipped up” position. Other stand out features include a Roc Loc Air fit system and a hydrophilic, anti-microbial brow pad that can absorb up to ten-times the amount of sweat as standard urethane padding. Additionally, this helmet is quipped with the MIPS system to redirect impact energy, providing more protection in certain impacts.Super Fit Sizes:S 20″-21.75″ M 21.75″-23.25″ L 23.25″-24.75″ TeXtreme carbon fiber shell – A Lighter, Stiffer & Stronger Shell. TeXtreme’s wide and flat fibers fit closer together than conventional round carbon fibers and require less of the resin used to bind fibers together. In the case of the Avance MIPS, TeXtreme enabled us to create an ultralight shell that’s tougher, stiffer and stronger than Giro’s offered before. Most importantly, TeXtreme offers impressive high-energy impact management. Super Fit Engineering – Our proprietary Super Fit sizing system is based on “human scale factors” data and over 25 years of handcrafting helmets. By creating helmet molds in up to 4 adult sizes to match the human body’s form, our Super Fit sizes comfortably and securely fit riders, and feel like they are custom made just for you. Eye shield made by ZEISS Optics – The wrap-around eye shield offers an unblocked field of view with a huge aerodynamic benefit and the shield is made by ZEISS Optics for unrivaled clarity. A magnetic anchor attachment keeps the shield secure, yet easy to remove, and it can be stored in the “flipped up” position. Magnetic lens anchor attachement Hydrophilic, X-Static anti-microbial padding – X-Static FIBER X-Static fibers use natural silver to provide heat conductive and anti-microbial properties to help keep your hands warm, and your gloves free of odor-causing bacteria and fungus Includes helmet pod for traveling and second clear shield MIPS equipped – All Giro helmets are designed to reduce as much energy as possible while meeting and exceeding stringent safety standards. The goal of Giro’s MIPS-equipped helmets is to reduce rotational forces. Giro believes that helmets equipped with this technology can reduce the amount of rotational force that may be transferred to rider’s brain in certain impacts. Learn more about MIPS in the video above. Hybrid construction TeXtreme carbon fiber shell with in-molded EPS liner Roc Loc Air Fit System – This revolutionary fit system adds a new dimension to helmet performance by enhancing cooling, as well as fit comfort and stability. Using a patented design that suspends the helmet just slightly off the top of the skull, Roc Loc Air allows cool airflow to pass directly over your head, further enhancing the performance of vents and internal channeling that exhaust heat out of the helmet. Fit and feel adjustments mimic the Roc Loc 5, allowing you to easily custom tune fit tension and fore-aft tilt of the helmet in seconds using a single hand.

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.

Review for Giro Foray Cycling Helmet with MIPS – 2019

The Foray drafts off the bold design language of our premium Synthe helmet, and offers many of our key features including durable in-mold construction and the Roc Loc 5 fit system with two-way fit adjustment. The slim design is very light, offers great ventilation and is available in three Super Fit sizes so that you can get a helmet that looks, fits and feels like it was made for you. MIPS models are available with the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System. We believe MIPS can redirect energy and provide more protection in certain impacts.SUPER FIT SIZES: S 20″-21.75″, M 21.75″-23.25″, L 23.25″-24.75″MIPSAll Giro helmets are designed to reduce as much energy as possible while meeting and exceeding stringent safety standards.
