Giro Merit Spherical

Spherical Technology is a ball-and-socket design that allows the outer liner to rotate around the inner liner during an impact. While standard Mips uses a slip-plane layer inside the helmet, Spherical Technology integrates this movement into the helmet's structure itself, which can offer better protection against a wider range of impact forces.

Yes, the Merit is designed specifically for airflow. It uses Giro's Wind Tunnel ventilation system with deep internal channels that actively pull air over your scalp, making it a strong choice for high-exertion rides in warmer weather.

Yes, the visor is adjustable. You can easily move it up to create enough space to stash your goggles on the front of the helmet when you aren't wearing them.

The Roc Loc Trail Air system is designed to be more stable on rough terrain. It provides a secure, wrap-around fit that prevents the helmet from shifting or bouncing when you are riding over technical, rocky trails.

Yes, the Ionic+ antimicrobial padding is removable. It is designed to manage moisture and odor, but you can easily take it out to wash it after particularly sweaty rides.
