Giro Helios Spherical Mips Helmet Matte Black, M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve ridden the Helios in heat, on gravel, and during long road climbs, and the cooling is unreal. The Spherical Mips setup feels super secure without adding bulk, and the Roc Loc 5 Air fit system gives me that perfect snug feel without pressure points. It’s one of the few helmets I forget I’m wearing—even on big adventure rides."" We rely on the Giro Helios Spherical Mips Helmet for everything from long road loops to rough gravel adventures. At its core is Spherical Technology, a ball-and-socket system powered by Mips® that allows the outer shell to rotate independently around the inner liner, helping reduce rotational forces while maintaining a low-profile feel. Progressive Layering pairs two densities of EPS foam for tuned impact management across high- and low-speed crashes. On the hottest days, the Helios shines even brighter. Its 15 Wind Tunnel vents pull air efficiently across the scalp with deep internal channeling, keeping us cool whether we’re tackling steep grades or grinding out headwind miles. The Roc Loc® 5 Air system suspends the helmet subtly above the head for enhanced ventilation while allowing micro-adjustments for a stable, personalized fit. Plush IONIC+® padding adds soft comfort with natural odor control, ensuring every ride starts fresh and stays that way."
