The helmet chosen by Kamil Tatarkovič for his backcountry expedition to Ethiopia. Great for long mountain passes, enduro races and local trails. Despite its compact shape, it offers extensive protection for the back of the neck, and it is also equipped with MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) technology, which can provide increased protection in certain types of impacts. The fastening system is the same as in racing helmets: Roc Loc Air, which brings perfect ventilation to the forehead. Montaro is fully compatible with motocross goggles, the POV Plus label is positionable with clearly defined positions. A safe holder for a Go-Pro camera is a matter of course.

MIPS is movement
All Giro helmets are designed to absorb as much energy as possible during an impact and meet the valid European standard: EN 1078. The goal of the new MIPS technology is to eliminate the rotational forces that act on the head in the event of a fall. In an impact at any angle, the MIPS system allows the EPS shell of the helmet to rotate independently around the rider's head. Although this movement is only on the order of millimeters, we believe that MIPS technology significantly reduces the amount of rotational force that would otherwise be transmitted to the brain.
WHAT is MIPS (Multidirectional Impact Protection System) and how does it work?
MIPS is a slippery insert between the EPS shell (helmet body) and the inner linings. In the event of an impact at an angle (for example, when you catch a branch with your head), the EPS shell of the helmet rotates a few millimeters after the MIPS layer, protecting the head and brain from a violent rotational jerk.
