FAQs
What is Mips technology and why is it important?
Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts. It consists of a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the helmet to slide relative to the head, redirecting impact energy.
How do I clean the Giro Neo Mips Helmet?
Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth. For removable pads, hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reinserting.
Can I wear my own goggles with this helmet?
Yes, the helmet is designed for compatibility with most standard goggles, especially Giro goggles, thanks to the Vertical Tuning feature. However, fit may vary with different goggle brands.
What is the Head Circumference for size L?
The size L helmet is designed for a head circumference of 59 - 62.5 cm.
How does the ventilation system work?
The helmet features Thermostat Control adjustable venting for manual temperature regulation and Stack Vent technology, which aligns with goggle vents to combat fogging.
Is this helmet suitable for activities other than skiing and snowboarding?
While designed for skiing and snowboarding, its protective features make it suitable for other snow sports. Always ensure the helmet meets the safety standards for your specific activity.
Can the ear pads be removed?
Yes, the ear pads are removable, allowing for easier cleaning and potential compatibility with helmet audio systems.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Adjust the In Form Fit System dial at the rear of the helmet until a secure fit is achieved. Ensure the chin strap is properly fastened.
Goggles fogging up frequently
Ensure the Stack Vent is aligned with your goggle's vent. Increase airflow by opening the Thermostat Control vents. Clean your goggles' anti-fog coating.
Difficulty adjusting the fit with gloves on
Practice using the In Form Fit System dial with your gloves before hitting the slopes. The dial is designed for easy grip, but some glove types may be bulkier.
Helmet feels too warm
Open the Thermostat Control adjustable vents to increase airflow. Ensure removable ear pads are not excessively thick for the conditions.
Chin strap is uncomfortable
Adjust the strap length and positioning. Ensure the buckle is centered beneath the chin and not digging into the skin.
