Giro Switchblade MIPS HelmetThe Giro Switchblade MIPS Helmet is a downhill certified full-face helmet with a removable chinbar. Everything about the Switchblade is optimised for the descent which is why it’s certified to the highest levels of protection standards with and without the chinbar.Ventilation and Protection SecurityThis helmet features the Roc Loc Air DH fit system, which has a bumper around the dial to prevent unintentional adjustments if your helmet comes into contact with your backpack or neck brace. When the chinbar is removed, wind tunnel cheek pad ventilation adds cooling power as you start to climb. The full-cut style gives this helmet an aggressive look whilst also providing certified safety coverage, even if you do not use the chinbar.Easy to Remove and Re-installWhen your ride is all about descending, so should your helmet and the Switchblade MIPS is the only removable chinbar helmet that is truly built for the descent. When climbing back up the mountain, the chinbar is easy to remove and is done so by simply pushing the buttons under the chinbar, rotating upwards, and then removing it. It is just as easy to re-install and when fitted provides rigid and reassuring chin protection.Technologies:Hydrophilic Padding: The hydrophilic pad can absorb up to 10 times its own weight in water, helping you manage sweat while riding. The pad retains moisture to prevent sweat from dripping into your eyes, and then dries quickly. The antimicrobial X-Static™ lining helps to reduce odour, keeping your helmet fresh.P.O.V. Plus: Giro's P.O.V. Plus visor features an adjustment mechanism that lets you move the visor up and down in indexed steps. These steps include three riding positions plus a high position for goggle storage above your brow. The design allows you to easily adjust your visor with one hand while riding.MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head.Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.Features:Sizing Note: Fit as per size guideConstruction: In-mould constructionVentilation: 20 vents with internal channelling, Wind Tunnel™ cheek pad ventilationFit System: Roc Loc® Air DH systemRemovable chinbarP.O.V.

To make a minimalist shoe that retains the supportive structure of the legendary Empire while advancing the style, we started with a one-piece ultralight monofilament Synchwire mesh upper designed around a classic laced closure to fit and feel like a second skin. Thermal-welded Teijin® TPU adds structural support exactly where it's needed, and a high-modulus Easton® EC90™ SLX2 carbon fiber plate provides ultimate stiffnessto-weight for power transfer. Our adjustable Super Natural Fit footbed system is the final touch, allowing you to customize arch support right out of the box for luxurious comfort and optimal pedaling efficiency.

The Aether™ Spherical combines airy, open design with a revolution in rotational energy management to advance head protection for cyclists. Inside the Aether, a dual-density EPS foam liner helps to manage a wide range of impact energies, while also boasting deep internal channelling to provide cooling airflow.Our proprietary Spherical Technology™ is integrated between the layers of EPS foam—instead of against the rider’s head—giving riders the benefits of MIPS without any obstruction to comfort or cooling power. Outside, a sleek six-piece shell forms a stunning silhouette around the massive vents, which get added structural reinforcement via a shatter-resistant AURA reinforcing arch. The final touch is our Roc Loc® 5+ Air fit system, featuring three-way fit tuning, that allows easy adjustment in seconds for the ultimate in comfort.

CONFIDENCE IN MOTION Among the Manifest's extraordinary features is Spherical Technology which utilizes a ball-and-socket design powered by Mips® the market-leading brain protection system that helps to reduce rotational forces. Spherical Technology allows the outer liner to rotate around the inner liner during a crash and also eliminates contact with a hard-plastic slip-plane. In addition to leading head protection the Manifest offers wide-open airflow thanks to the AURA reinforcing arch which bolsters structural integrity while allowing air to flow into the massive Wind Tunnel vents. You'll also get a comfortable secure fit with the easy fit and positioning adjustments built in to the Roc Loc Trail Air fit system and plush antimicrobial XT2 padding for exceptional sweat absorption.
