Giro Source MIPS

Yes, it is designed as a versatile hybrid. The rugged construction and adjustable visor handle trail debris and varying light conditions, while its sleek profile and ventilation make it appropriate for daily city commuting.

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows for a sliding motion during an angled impact, which helps reduce the rotational forces transmitted to your brain.

Yes, the moisture-wicking padding is removable. This makes it easy to wash away sweat and keep the helmet fresh after long, intense rides.

The moto-style visor is fully adjustable, allowing you to shift its position on the fly. This is particularly useful for blocking low-hanging sun or clearing your field of vision when the terrain gets technical.

The Roc Loc system is highly adjustable, allowing you to dial in both the tension around your head and the vertical position. It is designed to provide a stable, personalized fit that prevents the helmet from shifting while you ride.

At 351 grams, it is a mid-weight helmet. While not the lightest race-specific option available, the balance of its full-wrap protection and ventilation makes it comfortable enough for extended rides without feeling cumbersome.
