Standard MIPS uses a thin slip-plane layer inside the helmet. Spherical MIPS integrates the slip-plane into a ball-and-socket design between two layers of EPS foam, providing a more refined and comprehensive impact management system.
Giro recommends replacing any helmet that has been involved in an impact, even if it looks undamaged. Under normal use, replace your helmet every 3 to 5 years.
It is highly recommended to hand wash the pads in cold water with mild soap to maintain their shape and anti-microbial properties.
Yes, the Merit Spherical features an adjustable visor to help with goggle storage and visibility.
Typically, the helmet does not include a carry bag, but check your specific packaging for included accessories.
Check for debris or dirt inside the Roc Loc mechanism and gently clean it with compressed air or a soft brush.
Hand wash the removable Ionic+ liners with mild detergent and allow them to air dry completely.
Re-adjust the tension of the Roc Loc dial and ensure the side strap Y-junctions are positioned correctly below the ears.
To ensure maximum safety and comfort, start by loosening the Roc Loc dial before placing the helmet on your head. Once positioned level on your forehead, tighten the rear dial until snug but comfortable. Adjust the side straps so the Y-junction sits just below your ears, and ensure the chin strap is tightened to allow only one or two fingers of space. For care, remove the Ionic+ padding periodically to hand wash it in mild soap and water. Clean the exterior shell with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could compromise the integrity of the polycarbonate shell or EPS foam liner. Always store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
