Full details
The Giro Escape MIPS Urban Helmet is designed for adult commuters and city cyclists who prioritize safety, style, and visibility in high-traffic environments. It features an integrated MIPS brain protection system and built-in, rechargeable LED lights to ensure you are seen by motorists, though the robust ABS shell and lighting tech make it slightly heavier than minimalist road racing helmets.

FAQs
Is the helmet waterproof?
The lighting system carries an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against low-pressure water jets and dust, making it suitable for most rainy commutes.
How do I charge the lights?
Use the provided or a compatible Micro USB cable to charge the integrated lights via the port located on the helmet.
What is MIPS?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, a slip-plane layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain in certain types of impacts.
Can I remove the padding?
Yes, the plush interior padding is removable for cleaning, which helps extend the life and comfort of the helmet.
Is the fit adjustable?
Yes, the Roc Loc Sport Mips system uses a dial-fit adjustment that allows you to refine the fit with one hand while on the go.
Troubleshooting
LED lights will not turn on
Ensure the battery is fully charged via the Micro USB port and check the connection for debris.
Helmet feels unstable or rocks
Adjust the rear dial fit system and tighten the chin strap until the helmet remains centered on the forehead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your helmet, first adjust the rear dial of the Roc Loc Sport system until the fit is snug but comfortable around your head. The helmet should sit level on your forehead. Before your first ride, ensure the integrated lights are fully charged using a standard Micro USB cable. To maintain the helmet, wipe the exterior shell with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the ABS plastic. Remove the moisture-wicking pads periodically to hand wash them with warm water and air dry. Always inspect the straps and buckle for wear, and ensure the lights are functioning before heading out into low-light conditions.
