The Source MIPS helmet combines technological sophistication and above-average safety with the design of a modern trail helmet. Aggressive ventilation with a total of 17 holes supported by internal channels can keep the head at the correct operating temperature even in the middle of summer. A comfortable fit on the head is ensured by the Roc Loc 5 fastening system, into which the MIPS insert is integrated. The label is positionable, secured with screws. Resistance against everyday scratches is guaranteed by polycarbonate, which covers the shell from below as well. Extended neck protection is already a matter of course.

MIPS IS A MOVEMENT
All Giro helmets are designed to absorb as much energy as possible during impact and meet the valid European standard: EN 1078. The goal of the new MIPS technology is to eliminate 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 in the order of millimeters, we believe that MIPS technology significantly reduces the amount of rotational force that would otherwise be transferred 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.
