Product Information

Full details

The Giro Agilis MIPS Helmet is designed for adult road cyclists, tourers, and commuters seeking reliable protection and comfort. Its key benefit is the integrated MIPS system, which reduces rotational forces during impacts, offering enhanced safety. A potential caveat is that while versatile, it is optimized for road use and may not be the best choice for extreme off-road conditions. This helmet features a durable In-Mould construction, efficient Wind Tunnel ventilation, and the precise Roc Loc 5 MIPS fit system for a secure and comfortable experience.

FAQs

What is MIPS and why is it important?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a leading slip-plane inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces on your brain during certain angled impacts. This can help mitigate head injuries.

How do I determine my 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. Consult the Giro sizing chart to find the corresponding helmet size.

Can I use this helmet for mountain biking?

While the Agilis MIPS offers robust protection, it is primarily designed for road cycling, touring, and commuting. For aggressive mountain biking, a helmet with more coverage and features specific to off-road use is recommended.

How often should I replace my helmet?

It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent, as internal structures can be compromised.

Is the Roc Loc 5 MIPS system easy to use with gloves on?

Yes, the Roc Loc 5 MIPS system is designed with a large, easily accessible dial that can typically be operated with cycling gloves on.

What is the difference between In-Mould and Hardbody construction?

In-Mould construction fuses the helmet's outer shell to the EPS foam liner for a stronger, lighter structure. Hardbody construction refers to the durable polycarbonate lower wrap that protects exposed foam edges.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points.

Loosen the Roc Loc 5 MIPS dial. Adjust the fore-aft position of the rear cradle. Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly and not twisted.

Padding feels uncomfortable or is dirty.

Remove the internal padding. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then allow to air dry completely before reinserting.

Ventilation does not feel adequate.

Ensure that the vents are not blocked by debris or hair. For optimal airflow, maintain a steady riding pace. Note that ventilation effectiveness can vary with ambient temperature and rider exertion.

Straps are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the buckle is properly engaged and that the strap sliders are clean. Try adjusting them slowly and deliberately.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Giro Agilis MIPS helmet is designed for immediate use. To adjust the fit, use the dial on the Roc Loc 5 MIPS system located at the rear of the helmet. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. You can also adjust the fore-aft tilt by lifting the rear cradle and positioning it as needed.

Compatibility: This helmet complies with the US CPSC Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets for Persons Age 5 and Older (EU: CE EN1078). It is designed for adult use and is suitable for road cycling, touring, and commuting. It is not specifically designed for mountain biking or other extreme sports.

Care: To clean the helmet, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's materials. The internal padding can usually be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water; allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
