FAQs

What is MIPS® and how does it improve safety?

MIPS® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a revolutionary technology that allows the helmet to slide slightly against the head, mimicking the brain's own protective fluid. This system is designed to reduce rotational forces that can be transmitted to the brain during angled impacts, thereby enhancing safety.

How do I adjust the Roc Loc® Sport fit system?

The Roc Loc® Sport fit system is designed for one-handed operation. Loosen the rear dial by turning it counter-clockwise. Place the helmet on your head and turn the dial clockwise until the helmet feels snug and secure. The system offers a 7cm adjustment range.

Is this helmet suitable for road cycling as well as mountain biking?

The Giro Fixture MIPS II is engineered primarily for mountain biking (MTB) with features like enhanced coverage and ventilation suited for trail riding. While it meets safety standards, its design is optimized for off-road use. For dedicated road cycling, a helmet designed specifically for road aerodynamics and ventilation might be more suitable.

How do I clean the helmet and its padding?

Clean the helmet shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. The internal padding can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Always allow the padding to air dry completely before reinserting it into the helmet. Avoid machine washing or drying.

What does 'In-Mold Construction' mean?

In-Mold Construction involves permanently bonding the helmet's outer polycarbonate shell to the impact-absorbing EPS foam liner during the manufacturing process. This results in a lighter, stronger helmet with superior ventilation compared to traditional construction methods.

Are the reflective decals effective in all lighting conditions?

The reflective decals are designed to enhance visibility when illuminated by a light source, such as headlights, in low-light or nighttime conditions. They work by reflecting light back to the source. They do not provide illumination on their own and are most effective when paired with active lighting.

What is the warranty period for this helmet?

Giro typically offers a limited warranty on their helmets against defects in materials and workmanship. Specific warranty details can usually be found on the Giro website or in the product manual included with your purchase.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose even after tightening the dial.

Ensure the rear dial is fully engaged and turned clockwise. If significant adjustment is needed, you may need to reposition the rear retention band if your model allows or consider if a different size might be more appropriate, though Universal Fit is designed for broad compatibility.

Straps are uncomfortable or chafe.

Adjust the sliders on the straps so they form a 'Y' shape just below your ears. Ensure the webbing lies flat against your skin and is not twisted. Re-adjust the chin strap for a snug fit.

Padding feels damp or smells after use.

Remove the internal padding and hand wash it with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the helmet. Ensure the helmet is properly aired out after each use.

Ventilation seems insufficient on very hot days.

While designed for good airflow, extreme heat can still lead to feeling warm. Ensure no debris is blocking the vents. Consider taking more frequent breaks or riding during cooler parts of the day.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated MIPS® system provides superior rotational impact protection.
  • Excellent ventilation keeps the rider cool on long, challenging rides.
  • Roc Loc® Sport fit system offers easy, one-handed adjustability for a secure fit.
  • Comfortable, quick-drying padding enhances usability for extended wear.
  • Reflective decals increase visibility in low-light conditions.

Cons

  • May lack some advanced features found in higher-end professional helmets.
  • Universal Fit™ sizing might require minor adjustments for a perfect fit for all head shapes.
  • The 'Purple' colorway might not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Giro Fixture MIPS II helmet utilizes the Roc Loc® Sport fit system for easy adjustment. To fit the helmet, loosen the rear dial, place the helmet on your head, and then tighten the dial until a snug but comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head, covering your forehead. Adjust the internal straps to lie flat against your head.

Compatibility: This helmet is designed with Universal Fit™ sizing, intended to fit a broad range of adult female riders. It is compatible with most standard ponytail styles due to the design of the Roc Loc® Sport system. The helmet meets CE EN 1078 safety standards.

Care: To clean the helmet, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the helmet materials. The internal padding can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water; allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Inspect the helmet regularly for any signs of damage, especially after an impact.
