FAQs
Does this helmet include MIPS technology?
Yes, the Giro Vanquish features integrated MIPS technology to provide advanced protection against rotational forces.
Can I wear prescription glasses with the shield?
The shield is designed to fit close to the face for aerodynamics, so it may not accommodate all styles of prescription glasses. Testing for fit is recommended.
Is the shield interchangeable?
Yes, the Magnetic Vivid shield is designed for quick attachment and detachment, allowing for lens swaps if compatible versions are available.
How do I know if the helmet is the right size?
The helmet should feel secure without pressure points. Use a flexible tape measure around the circumference of your head to match your size to the manufacturer's chart.
What is the benefit of the four-piece shell?
The interlocking shell design improves the overall structural integrity and durability of the helmet compared to single-piece constructions.
Troubleshooting
Magnetic shield does not stay attached
Check the magnetic contact points on both the helmet and the shield for debris or dirt; clean with a soft cloth.
Helmet feels loose or wobbly
Tighten the rear dial retention system and adjust the side webbing straps to ensure a snug, even fit around the ears.
Padding smells after heavy use
Remove the interior padding pieces and hand wash them with mild detergent, then air dry completely.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper fit, adjust the rear retention system until the helmet sits level on your head, approximately one finger width above your eyebrows. The magnetic shield snaps into place effortlessly; when not in use, verify it is secure in its stow position. For care, clean the shell with mild soap and water only—avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the polycarbonate. The antimicrobial padding is removable; hand wash it periodically in cool water and let it air dry to maintain freshness. Always inspect the EPS liner after any significant impact, as the protective integrity may be compromised even if no damage is visible on the shell.
