Giro Aerohead Mips Helmet

Why We Like The Giro Aerohead MIPS Helmet

Most TT´s and triathlons take place anywhere from late spring through early fall, often on some of the hottest days of the year. A TT/tri-specific lid can certainly speed up your ride, but not if it isn´t built with enough ventilation to keep you cool. How to make "aero" helmets that save watts without leaving cyclists trapped inside a stifling bubble is a recurring challenge for helmet manufacturers. That´s why we´re impressed with the Giro Aerohead MIPS Helmet´s wind-cheating profile and efficient venting system, which incorporates more cooling channels than the Aerohead Ultimate and features the added impact absorbtion of Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS).

On the outside, the Aerohead uses a pretty standard In-Mold construction; polycarbonate fused to EPS foam acts as an initial shock-absorbing layer and keeps the helmet´s efficient profile intact. Inside, a MIPS liner feels barely perceptible as you ride, but It´s a technology that´s becoming ubiquitous in helmets across disciplines because it rotates slightly upon impact to redirect energy generated by certain impacts.
