What is Giro MIPS technology?
Giro helmets with the Mips Brain Protection System offer more comprehensive protection that can help to reduce the energy transmitted to your brain in the event of an impact. Less energy transferred to your brain during a crash equals more protection for you.
Do I really need MIPS?
MIPS’ own testing shows that a helmet fitted with MIPS leads to a significant strain reduction compared to the same helmet without MIPS. MIPS measures the strain caused by an impact by using dummy heads that have the same kinematics as a human head and are fitted with six accelerometers.

Who created Giro?
Giro was founded more than 30 years ago by Jim Gentes, a man with an obsession for design and answering unmet needs. That obsession led him to start making his own products, and ultimately resulted in a company committed to serving the rider through personal expression and advanced performance.
How can you tell if a helmet is MIPS?
Are you unsure whether your helmet has MIPS or not? It’s easy to tell by looking inside. All MIPS-equipped helmets have a plastic interior liner that can move relative to the helmet’s outer shell, and bright yellow connectors joining the inner and outer layers.

Is the Giro Synthe the right helmet for You?
The progressive design has positioned it more as an everyday lid rather than an event-specific helmet, but the lack of ventilation could pose an issue when used throughout the warmer months. It might be over five years old now, but the Giro Synthe has earned a reputation for its stellar looks, comfortable fit and performance-orientated bent.

The Aether follows very much a form-over-function approach in terms of aesthetics, with shatterproof, transparent arches running perpendicular to the venting slats for improved structural integrity and visual clout. For more details, check out our Giro Aether MIPS helmet review.
What makes the Giro Vanquish so special?
The Giro Vanquish is an out-and-out race helmet offering improved aerodynamics and a comfy fit. It also uses MIPS, which has been neatly and effectively integrated into the Roc Loc Air fit system so as not to alter the fit.
