ETHOS MIPS Bike Helmet

Do your daily routes take you through the urban jungle or along dark streets and parks? Then make your ride safer with the ETHOS MIPS bike helmet by GIRO! This MIPS helmet provides extra visibility in the dark thanks to clever lighting.

The helmet lights at the front and rear can be conveniently controlled with a remote control. This allows you to use the practical flashing light function, which you can use to indicate your turning direction to other road users. In addition, twelve WIND TUNNEL VENTILATION openings provide the necessary fresh air on warm days. Last but not least, this helmet is equipped with the tried-and-tested MIPS system for additional protection in case of a crash. Make your journey to work safer and more comfortable with this commuting bike helmet!

Highlights & Technologies:

IN-MOLD:
With the IN-MOLD construction, the robust polycarbonate outer shell is bonded to the impact-absorbing EPS inner shell in a single operation while it foams.
The liner is fused with the outer shell under high pressure and strong heat for a lasting connection. This makes the helmet even more resistant without adding weight. This production process also makes it possible to shape significantly better ventilation systems and vents. IN-MOLD helmets are therefore lighter than traditional helmets and have significantly better ventilation systems.   

MIPS:
WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane system within the helmet. It is designed to rotate inside the helmet and thus slow down or reduce the impact energy acting on the brain, which helps reduce head injuries caused by rotational impacts.

WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration may cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue caused by these motions may result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.

HOW DOES MIPS WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow down or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.

WIND TUNNEL VENTILATION:
A sophisticated ventilation system consisting of internal channels and active vents allows cool, fresh air to circulate around the head while also allowing heat to escape. For great ventilation on exhausting sections.

ROC LOC CITY:
The ROC LOC CITY system features a rubber dial for easy adjusting and large pads for ultimate comfort and stability. The fit system is made of a durable, flexible material made for long-term performance and daily use. A three-position height adjustment and a 6cm adjustment range allow for a perfect fit every day.

SLIM LINE:
An extra-flat and yet stable helmet closure that minimises pressure points.

SUPER FIT ENGINEERING:
Numerous measurement data and test rides contributed to the development of the GIRO helmets. They are then optimally shaped and cut based on the results of those tests. Thanks to the well-designed shape and range of sizes, the GIRO helmet fits nearly any head.

The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
