Giro produces the final boss on the helmet shelf

The MIPS system helps to increase the protective effect of a helmet. The concept: the helmet shell can rotate, thereby reducing the force exerted on the head. In collaboration with MIPS, Giro is now launching the "Manifest Spherical" helmet, which not only boasts two interlocking shells.

A helmet with the so-called MIPS - the Motion Impact Protection System - can be recognized by a yellow foil under the helmet pads. If you hold these pads and the foil with your fingers and move the helmet shell, the principle becomes visible: the head can be better protected thanks to the mobility of the helmet parts.

Now, in cooperation with MIPS, Giro is taking this system to the next level. The MIPS Spherical technology also uses two shells that move inside each other. These redirect forces by working like a ball in a sock, similar to a ball in a sock, and thus converting rotational forces. This design allows the outer shell to rotate around the inner shell in the event of a fall, thus preventing direct contact between the head and the outer hard plastic layer. The use of two EPS foam shells with different densities further reduces energy on impact at both high and low speeds.

In addition to the aforementioned safety and technological fireworks, an additional reinforcement arch, 19 ventilation openings, anti-microbial padding, a clever magnetic closure and an equally clever holder for goggles and glasses make the "Manifest Spherical" helmet the boss on the helmet shelf.
