FAQs

What is MIPS and why is it important?

MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts. It includes a low-friction layer that allows the helmet to slide relative to your head, providing an extra layer of protection.

How do I clean my Giro Taggert MIPS helmet?

Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can degrade the helmet's materials. Allow the helmet to air dry completely.

What is In-Mold Construction?

In-Mold Construction fuses the helmet's outer shell with its impact-absorbing foam liner during the manufacturing process. This creates a stronger, lighter helmet with better ventilation and improved durability compared to traditional helmet construction methods.

How do I adjust the fit of the helmet?

The Giro Taggert MIPS features the In Form™ 2 Fit System. Use the dial located at the rear of the helmet to tighten or loosen the fit. Turn clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen for a secure and comfortable fit.

What sizes are available for the Giro Taggert MIPS helmet?

The helmet is available in four sizes: Small (52-55cm), Medium (55.5-59cm), Large (59.5-62.5cm), and Extra Large (62.5-65cm). It is recommended to measure your head circumference to ensure the best fit.

Is this helmet suitable for backcountry skiing?

Yes, the lightweight design and effective ventilation make it suitable for backcountry activities where comfort and temperature regulation are important. However, always ensure it meets any specific safety standards required for your intended use.

Can I wear a beanie or balaclava under this helmet?

Yes, the In Form™ 2 Fit System allows for some adjustment to accommodate thin beanies or balaclavas. However, adding too much bulk may affect the helmet's fit and safety performance. It's best to try it on with your preferred headwear.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the In Form™ 2 Fit System dial at the rear of the helmet. Turn clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. Ensure the chin strap is also properly adjusted.

Goggle not fitting well with the helmet

Try adjusting the helmet's position on your head slightly. Ensure your goggles are designed to be compatible with ski helmets. Some goggle straps may interfere with the helmet's fit system; try tucking the strap under the helmet or using a goggle with a compatible strap.

Venting seems insufficient on warm days

The Passive Aggressive Venting is designed to auto-regulate. While effective, on extremely warm days or during low-speed activities, airflow might be limited. Ensure interior padding is clean and not obstructing vents. Consider removing the helmet during long breaks.

Interior padding feels uncomfortable

Ensure the padding is correctly installed. If the discomfort persists, consider that the helmet might not be the ideal fit for your head shape. The helmet is not designed for user-replaceable padding beyond its standard liner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced rotational impact protection with MIPS technology.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
  • Easy and precise fit adjustment, even with gloves.
  • Effective ventilation system for temperature regulation.
  • Durable In-Mold construction for long-lasting performance.

Cons

  • May not offer the same level of padding as heavier, bulkier helmets.
  • Focus on lightweight protection might not suit riders prioritizing maximum impact absorption above all else.
  • Ventilation system is passive, relying on natural airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the helmet is the correct size by checking the fit guide (S: 52-55cm, M: 55.5-59cm, L: 59.5-62.5cm, XL: 62.5-65cm).
  2. Place the helmet on your head.
  3. Turn the dial on the In Form™ 2 Fit System at the back of the helmet clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. The system allows for up to 6cm of adjustment.
  4. Adjust the chin strap for a secure fit, ensuring it is comfortable and does not impede breathing.

Compatibility:

  • This helmet is designed for skiing and snowboarding.
  • It is compatible with most standard goggles. Ensure goggle placement does not interfere with helmet fit or ventilation.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's materials.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using a helmet bag (not included) can help protect it from scratches and damage.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the fit system, straps, and shell for any signs of damage. Replace the helmet if it has sustained a significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent, as internal protective capabilities may be compromised.
