Giant Compel MIPS Helmet

MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows it to slide slightly during an angled impact. This movement helps reduce the rotational forces transmitted to your brain, offering an extra layer of protection beyond standard impact absorption.

Yes, the visor is fully removable. It clips on and off easily, allowing you to switch between a more casual, sun-shielded look and a streamlined profile depending on your preference or the weather conditions.

The Cinch One system uses a rear dial that you turn to tighten or loosen the internal cradle around the back of your head. It is designed to provide a secure, customized fit that prevents the helmet from rocking or shifting while you ride.

Yes, the Compel MIPS is compatible with Giant's Numen+ Link taillights. This allows you to mount a rear safety light directly to the back of the helmet for increased visibility during low-light commutes.

Yes, the interior padding is removable, which makes it easy to take out and wash. Since the padding features anti-microbial properties to wick away sweat, keeping it clean helps maintain comfort and hygiene over time.

While it is designed primarily for commuting and casual cruising, its robust construction and MIPS safety features make it versatile enough for light trail riding or road cycling. However, it lacks the extended rear coverage and specialized ventilation found in dedicated mountain bike or high-performance road helmets.
