Giro Aries Spherical MIPS Helmet

Instead of a plastic slip-plane liner inside the helmet, Spherical MIPS uses a ball-and-socket design where the outer shell rotates independently of the inner liner. This allows the helmet to redirect impact forces more effectively while eliminating the friction and heat buildup often associated with traditional liners.

The Aries is designed for both. Its lightweight construction and advanced ventilation make it excellent for long road climbs, while the structural integrity provided by the Aura II reinforcing arch offers the durability needed for the vibrations and varied terrain of gravel riding.

The DryCore system uses an internal silicone bead to redirect sweat away from your forehead and toward your temples, preventing it from dripping onto your eyewear or into your eyes. It is a noticeable upgrade over standard padding, especially during high-intensity efforts in hot weather.

Yes, the Aries features integrated eyewear docking ports specifically designed to hold your glasses securely in place. The ports are positioned so that your sunglasses won't interfere with the helmet's fit or ventilation channels.

Not at all. Despite having 24 vents, the helmet utilizes the Aura II reinforcing arch, which maintains structural integrity without needing extra material. This design has earned it a 5-star safety rating from Virginia Tech, confirming that airflow and protection can coexist.

The Giro Aries weighs approximately 265 grams in a size medium. This makes it one of the lighter options in the premium performance category, which helps reduce neck fatigue during long rides.
