Product Information

Full details

The Giro Source Mips helmet is designed for adult mountain bikers seeking robust protection and advanced comfort on rugged trails. Its key benefit lies in the integrated Mips® system for enhanced safety and aggressive ventilation to keep riders cool during intense activity. A potential caveat is the full-face design, which may offer less ventilation than open-face helmets. This helmet features deep coverage, 16 vents with internal channeling, the Roc Loc 5 Mips fit system, an adjustable moto-style visor, and In-Mold Lower Hardbody™ durability.

FAQs

What is the Integrated Mips® Brain Protection System?

Integrated Mips® is a low-friction layer built into the helmet's fit system. It is designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during certain angled impacts, enhancing the helmet's safety.

How do I adjust the Roc Loc 5 fit system?

The Roc Loc 5 system is adjusted using a dial located at the rear of the helmet. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen the fit for a secure and comfortable experience.

Can I store my goggles on the visor?

Yes, the moto-style adjustable visor features a high position specifically designed for conveniently storing your goggles when you're not wearing them.

What is the In-Mold construction?

In-Mold construction permanently fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell to the helmet's impact-absorbing foam liner. This process eliminates gaps and adhesives, creating a stronger, lighter helmet with enhanced durability.

Does this helmet comply with safety standards?

Yes, the Giro Source Mips helmet complies with the US CPSC Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets for Persons Age 5 and Older, as well as CE EN 1078 standards.

How many vents does the helmet have?

The Giro Source Mips helmet features 16 vents with deep internal channeling designed to provide aggressive ventilation and airflow.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or wobbly.

Adjust the Roc Loc 5 fit system using the rear dial. Ensure the cradle is positioned correctly on the back of your head. Check that the straps are adjusted properly.

Visor adjustment screws are difficult to turn.

Ensure the screws are clean and free of debris. If they are stiff, you can apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) sparingly to the screw threads, but avoid contact with the helmet shell.

Padding feels uncomfortable or is causing irritation.

Remove and hand-wash the internal padding. Ensure it is fully dry before reinserting. If irritation persists, check for any rough seams or contact points and consider replacing the padding if worn out.

Ventilation seems insufficient on very hot days.

While designed for airflow, extreme heat may still lead to rider warmth. Ensure the helmet is properly positioned on your head for optimal airflow. Consider taking short breaks in shaded areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety with Integrated Mips® system.
  • Superior ventilation through Wind Tunnel technology.
  • Customizable and secure fit with Roc Loc 5 system.
  • Durable construction with In-Mold Lower Hardbody™.
  • Convenient, one-handed visor adjustment.

Cons

  • Full-face design might be warmer than open-face helmets in very hot conditions.
  • May be heavier than minimalist trail helmets.
  • Integrated Mips® adds to the overall cost compared to non-Mips helmets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Fit Adjustment: Loosen the Roc Loc 5 dial and place the helmet on your head. Adjust the cradle for a snug but comfortable fit using the single dial. Ensure the helmet is level on your head and does not rock excessively.
  2. Visor Adjustment: The moto-style visor can be adjusted using the screws on its sides. Use one hand to adjust to one of the three riding positions or the goggle storage position.

Compatibility:

  • Safety Standards: Complies with US CPSC Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets (Age 5+) and CE EN 1078.
  • Goggles: The adjustable visor is designed to accommodate most standard riding goggles, with a dedicated high position for storage above the brow.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth to clean the helmet shell and internal padding. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet materials.
  • Padding: Internal padding can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Ensure padding is completely dry before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on the helmet.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn padding. Replace the helmet if it has been involved in a significant impact.
