FAQs

What is MIPS and why is it important?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety technology designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during certain angled impacts. The Giro Fixture MIPS II integrates this system to enhance protection.

How do I clean the helmet padding?

The internal padding can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Always allow it to air dry completely before placing it back in the helmet.

Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?

While primarily designed for trail use, the helmet's features like MIPS and ventilation can offer benefits for road cycling. However, road-specific helmets often have different aerodynamic and ventilation designs.

How much adjustment does the Roc Loc Sport system offer?

The Roc Loc® Sport fit system provides a 7cm adjustment range, allowing for a secure and customized fit.

Can I wear a ponytail with this helmet?

Yes, the Roc Loc® Sport fit system is designed to be ponytail compatible.

What does 'In-Mold Construction' mean?

In-Mold construction fuses the helmet's outer shell with the impact-absorbing foam liner. This process creates a stronger, lighter helmet with improved ventilation compared to traditional methods.

How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?

A properly fitting helmet should be snug all around without uncomfortable pressure points. It should not shift significantly forward, backward, or side-to-side when you shake your head. The front edge should be about one or two finger-widths above your eyebrows.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or wobbly

Adjust the Roc Loc® Sport fit system dial to tighten it. Ensure the side straps are properly positioned below your ears and the chin strap is snug.

Helmet causes pressure points or discomfort

Re-adjust the fit system and straps. Ensure the helmet is centered on your head. Try removing and reinserting the padding to check its alignment. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or model.

Straps are difficult to adjust

Ensure the buckles are clean and free of debris. Try sliding the strap dividers down towards the buckle to tighten the fit around the ears.

Helmet gets excessively hot inside

While designed for ventilation, some heat buildup is normal. Ensure the internal channels are clear of debris. For very hot conditions, consider a helmet with more aggressive venting, if available.
