Giro Aether Helmet (MIPS)

Featuring among the world’s most effective protection, the MIPS-assisted Aether Helmet from Giro is a revolution for the road. MIPS works hard to keep your head still in the event of a collision, working alongside a dual-density EPS foam liner that absorbs energy perfectly.

On the outside of the helmet, the reinforced, shatter-resistant AURA arch holds the helmet together for full structural integrity in the event of a crash. Meanwhile, extraordinary levels of comfort are provided by a construction focused on breathability, via 11 Wind Tunnel vents that keep you cool, and wicks sweat away from your head quickly. Finally, the CoolFit anti-microbial finish keeps you feeling fresh over longer distances, and eyeglass grippers add a lovely extra layer of practicality, too.

Roc-Loc® 5 fit system

Holding it all together, alongside the MIPS system outlined below, is the industry-leading Roc-Loc® 5 fit system. Combining comfort and stability for your head without adding any extra weight to your ride, it keeps close to your skull for unbeatable security, with an easily adjustable fit that can be dialled quickly and easily using only one hand.

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System)

The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head.

Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.
