Giro Merit Spherical Mens Dirt Mountain Bike Helmet

£199.99

The Giro Merit Spherical Men's Dirt Mountain Bike Helmet is a high-performance trail riding helmet built around the ball-and-socket design of Spherical Technology to provide amazing ventilation, deep coverage and luxurious comfort. Helmets with Spherical Technology offer more comprehensive performance and protection with the combination of a Mips brain protection system to redirect rotational impact energy. Plus separate inner and outer liners featuring Progressive Layering help manage high and low-speed impacts. The massive Wind Tunnel vents are combined with channels in the EPS foam liner, creating amazing airflow through the helmet to exhaust heat out, even on long, hot climbs. Fit and stability adjustments are fast and easy with the Roc Loc Trail Air fit system, and plush Ionic+ padding provides exceptional sweat absorption while combating odour with permanent anti-microbial performance. With all of these features, it’s an ideal choice for fast, flowy trail riding and hard pedalling.

What is a MIPS helmet?

Let's start by clarifying the meaning of MIPS. MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. Developed and owned, by a Swedish company that licenses the system to cycle helmet manufacturers. MIPS technology is very popular with Manufacturers.

What does MIPS do?

A Standard bike helmet protects you via a polystyrene shell which absorbs force and breaks apart. In a MIPS helmet, there is a liner that is in contact with your head and will move independently from the outer shell when there is an impact. This allows some of the force of the impact to be absorbed before the polystyrene shell takes the hit and reduces the level of shock to the brain. MIPS works best in angled impacts which is how many real-world crashes happen. Traditionally helmets have been designed for direct, head-on, impacts. So it is argued that a helmet with MIPS provides a greater level of safety in real-world conditions.
