Full details
The Giro Source MIPS Dirt/MTB Helmet is designed for mountain bikers and trail enthusiasts who prioritize deep coverage and advanced safety features without sacrificing ventilation. It delivers a secure, customizable fit thanks to the integrated Roc Loc 5 system, making it an excellent choice for rowdy riding, though riders seeking the lightest possible racing helmet may find the robust full-wrap shell slightly heavier than XC-specific models.

FAQs
What is MIPS and why is it included?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is an integrated layer inside the helmet that allows a small amount of movement to reduce rotational forces on the brain during certain types of impacts.
Is the visor removable?
Yes, the moto-style visor is adjustable and can be removed using the screw-in attachment points.
Does this helmet meet safety standards?
Yes, the Giro Source MIPS complies with the US CPSC Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets.
Can I wear goggles with this helmet?
Yes, the adjustable visor provides enough clearance to store goggles on the front of the helmet when not in use.
How often should I replace the helmet?
Helmets should be replaced after any significant impact or every 3 to 5 years depending on wear and frequency of use.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or unstable
Adjust the Roc Loc 5 dial at the back of the helmet and ensure the chin strap is tightened to sit securely under the jaw.
Visor is rattling
Use a screwdriver to tighten the side screws on the moto-style visor to ensure it is locked firmly into place.
Moisture buildup in the eyes
Ensure the Coolfit padding is correctly seated and consider cleaning the pad to restore its wicking properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Giro Source MIPS, start by placing the helmet level on your head and turning the Roc Loc 5 dial until it feels snug but comfortable. Adjust the side webbing sliders so the Y-junction sits just below your ears. For care, wipe the outer shell with a soft cloth and mild soap. The Coolfit padding can be removed and hand-washed in cool water with mild detergent; allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Ensure the helmet is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can damage the EPS foam liner.
