Product Information

Full details

The Giro Aerohead Mips is a performance-focused road helmet designed specifically for triathletes and time-trialists who prioritize aerodynamics and cooling during high-intensity racing. It offers a significant advantage through its wind-tunnel-tested profile and integrated ZEISS optics, though its specialized shape and weight make it less suitable for casual everyday riding or long-distance touring where a lighter, more ventilated helmet is preferred.

FAQs

Is the ZEISS shield replaceable?

Yes, the magnetic shield is designed to be easily removed and can be replaced if damaged.

Can I wear prescription glasses under the shield?

The shield is designed for optimal aerodynamics and may not provide enough internal clearance for all styles of prescription glasses.

How do I clean the inner pads?

The interior pads are removable and should be hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried.

Does this helmet meet safety standards?

Yes, the Giro Aerohead Mips is CPSC certified for bicycle use in the United States.

What is the purpose of the MIPS layer?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows a sliding motion of 10-15mm in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain during impact.

Troubleshooting

Lens feels loose or rattles

Ensure the magnetic anchors are free of debris and that the magnets are properly seated in their respective sockets.

Helmet feels unstable during head movement

Adjust the Roc Loc Air tension dial until snug, and ensure the side strap splitters are positioned just below your ears.

Fogging on the interior of the shield

Ensure you are riding at a sufficient speed to activate the Wind Tunnel venting; if fogging persists, keep your head angled to better capture airflow into the front vents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior aerodynamic profile for time-trial efficiency
  • Excellent optical clarity via the ZEISS wraparound shield
  • Convenient magnetic quick-flip lens system
  • Enhanced safety with integrated MIPS technology
  • Effective ventilation design for a speed-oriented helmet

Cons

  • Specialized shape is less versatile than standard road helmets
  • Increased weight compared to climbing-specific helmets
  • Lens requires specific care to prevent scratches

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a proper fit, utilize the Roc Loc Air system by turning the rear dial until the helmet feels secure but comfortable. The helmet should sit level on your forehead, not tilted back. For the ZEISS lens, always use a microfiber cloth to clean the surface to avoid microscopic scratches. When storing the helmet, ensure the magnetic lens is securely locked or in the flipped position to prevent it from detaching unexpectedly. Periodically check that all internal padding is dry and free of salt buildup from sweat to maintain hygiene.
