Product Information

Full details

The Giro Trig MIPS Helmet is designed for skiers and snowboarders seeking reliable protection and a comfortable, adjustable fit for freestyle sessions and backcountry expeditions. Its key benefit lies in the combination of MIPS technology for enhanced impact protection and the In Form Fit System for a secure, personalized fit. A potential consideration is that it's a hard-shell helmet, which, while durable and cost-effective, may be heavier than some in-mold constructions.

FAQs

What does MIPS mean and how does it benefit me?

MIPS stands for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System. It's a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during certain angled impacts, offering an added layer of protection compared to helmets without this technology.

How do I determine my correct helmet size?

Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and around the widest part of the back of your head. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart: Small (52-55.5cm), Medium (55.5 - 59cm), Large (59-62.5cm).

Can I wear a beanie or balaclava under the helmet?

Yes, the In Form Fit System allows for adjustment to accommodate thinner headwear like a balaclava or a thin beanie. For thicker beanies, you may need to loosen the fit system considerably, which could affect stability.

How should I clean the helmet's interior padding?

The interior padding is typically removable. Hand wash it with cold water and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before putting it back in the helmet.

What is the warranty period for this helmet?

Giro typically offers a limited warranty on their helmets against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to the product documentation or Giro's official website for the most current and specific warranty details.

Is this helmet suitable for activities other than skiing and snowboarding?

The Giro Trig MIPS Helmet is specifically designed and certified for skiing and snowboarding, particularly suited for freestyle riding. While it offers good protection, it may not meet the safety standards for other sports like cycling or skateboarding.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the In Form Fit System dial at the back of the helmet. Turn clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head and doesn't rock excessively.

Goggles fog up frequently.

Ensure the Stack Ventilation is clear of snow or debris. Check that your goggles are properly seated against the helmet's brim and that the goggle's own anti-fog treatments are clean and intact. Open the Thermostat Control vents for increased airflow.

Vents are difficult to adjust.

Ensure there is no ice or debris obstructing the vent mechanism. Try to adjust the vents gently. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Helmet doesn't feel stable when moving head.

Re-adjust the In Form Fit System for a more secure fit. Ensure the chin strap is properly fastened and snug, but not uncomfortably tight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety with MIPS technology
  • Easy and precise fit adjustment with In Form Fit System
  • Adjustable venting for temperature regulation
  • Designed for goggle compatibility to prevent fogging

  • Hard-shell construction can be heavier than in-mold helmets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Place the helmet on your head.
  2. Turn the dial on the In Form Fit System at the rear of the helmet clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved.
  3. Use the Vertical Tuning feature (if applicable to your goggle fit) to adjust the helmet height for optimal goggle integration.
  4. Adjust the Thermostat Control vents to your desired airflow.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for seamless compatibility with Giro goggles. While it works well with most standard ski and snowboard goggles, the brim is specifically engineered to integrate without a gaper gap with Giro models.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior shell with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Interior Padding: Removable padding can usually be hand-washed with cold water and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided helmet bag or a similar soft covering to prevent scratches.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or frayed straps. If the helmet has been subjected to a significant impact, it should be replaced, even if no visible damage is apparent.
