Giro Source MIPS Helmet

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

The helmet features a moto-style screw-in visor that is adjustable, allowing you to tilt it up or down to suit changing light conditions or to accommodate goggles. It is securely fastened with screws, so it is not designed for quick, tool-free removal mid-ride.

With 16 aggressive vents and deep internal channeling, this helmet is designed to pull cool air in and push hot air out efficiently. It performs very well for trail riding, though it is slightly less airy than a dedicated cross-country racing helmet.

Yes, the Source MIPS is specifically designed for trail riding. It offers deeper rear coverage than a standard road helmet, providing extra protection for the back of your head, and includes a full lower Hardbody shell for added durability against trail debris.
