The Source MIPS helmet combines technological maturity and above -average safety with the design of a modern trail helmet. Aggressive ventilation in total 17 holes supported by internal channels can keep the head at the right operating temperature even in the middle of summer. Comfortable settling on the head is provided by the ROC LOC 5 clamping system, into which the MIPS is integrated. The label is positionable, secured screws. Resistance to everyday scars is guaranteed by polycarbonate, which covers the shell and below. The prolonged protection of the back of the neck is a matter of course.
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) provides increased protection against rotary forces per head.

MIPS's Movement
Progress in the development of cycling helmets
All Giro helmets are designed to absorb as much energy as possible, and meet the valid European standard: EN 1078. The aim of the new MIPS technology is to eliminate the rotary forces that act on the head in the event of a fall. In the case of any angle, the MIPS system allows EPS the helmet shell to rotate independently around the rider's head. Although this movement is only in a few millimeters, we believe that MIPS technology significantly reduces the amount of rotary force that could otherwise be transferred to the brain.
What is MIPS (multidirectional Impact Protection System) and how does it work?
MIPS is a slippery insert between EPS shell (helmet body) and internal lining. In the case of an angle impact (for example, when you capture your head on a branch), EPS the helmet shell is switched by a few millimeters after the MIPS layer, protecting the head and brain from steep rotation jerk.
