FAQs

What makes Spherical Technology different from standard Mips®?

Spherical Technology, powered by Mips®, uses a ball-and-socket design that allows the outer shell to rotate independently of the inner liner during an impact, redirecting rotational forces more effectively and eliminating the need for a plastic Mips® slip-plane against the skin.

How does the DryCore system manage sweat?

The DryCore system utilizes an internal silicone bead that actively redirects sweat away from the rider's brow, preventing it from dripping into the eyes and causing irritation.

Is this helmet suitable for all types of cycling?

The Aries Spherical is primarily designed as a road helmet, emphasizing lightweight performance, aerodynamics, and cooling. It is excellent for road riding, racing, and endurance events.

How do I clean the helmet and its padding?

Clean the helmet shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. The interior padding, including the DryCore brow pad, can often be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling.

What is the weight of the Giro Aries Spherical?

The helmet weighs approximately 270 grams in a size medium (CE certified).

How does the Roc Loc® 5+ Air system improve fit and cooling?

This system suspends the helmet slightly off the skull, allowing cool air to flow directly over the head. It also provides easy, single-handed adjustments for tension and fore-aft tilt, enhancing both comfort and ventilation.

Does the helmet have reflective elements for visibility?

Yes, the Aries Spherical features reflective details that enhance visibility at night or in low-light conditions when illuminated by a light source.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the Roc Loc® 5+ Air dial at the rear of the helmet. Ensure the cradle is properly positioned for your head shape.

Sweat dripping into eyes during intense rides.

Ensure the DryCore brow pad is correctly positioned and clean. Verify the helmet is snug enough to keep the pad in contact with your forehead.

Straps feel uncomfortable or misaligned.

Readjust the side straps so they form a 'Y' shape directly below your earlobes. Ensure the chin strap is neither too tight nor too loose.

Difficulty securing sunglasses in docking ports.

Ensure the ports are clear of debris. Experiment with the angle of your sunglass arms to find the most secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fit Adjustment: Use the Roc Loc® 5+ Air dial at the rear of the helmet to tighten or loosen the fit. Adjust the fore-aft tilt by gently manipulating the cradle.
  2. Strap Adjustment: Ensure the side straps form a 'Y' just below your earlobes and the chin strap is snug but comfortable.

Compatibility:

  • Eyewear: Designed to accommodate most standard cycling sunglasses. Utilize the integrated docking ports for secure storage.
  • Headforms: While designed for universal adult fit, individual head shapes may vary. We recommend trying the helmet on for optimal fit.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to clean the helmet shell and interior padding. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Padding: The DryCore brow pad can often be removed for hand washing. Refer to the product manual for specific instructions.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on it.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check straps and buckles for wear and tear. Inspect the helmet shell for any signs of damage.
