FAQs

How do I determine my helmet size?

Measure the circumference of your head about an inch above your eyebrows. Consult the Giro size chart for the corresponding helmet size.

Can I use this helmet for road cycling?

While the Merit Spherical offers excellent protection, it is primarily designed for trail riding. Road cycling helmets may offer features more suited for that discipline.

How often should I replace my helmet?

Helmets should be replaced every 3-5 years, or immediately after any impact or crash, even if there is no visible damage.

How do I clean the helmet padding?

The Ionic+ padding can be removed and hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air dry the padding completely before reinserting.

What is Spherical Technology?

Spherical Technology is a ball-and-socket design that helps redirect rotational impact forces. It utilizes two separate liners which move independently to enhance protection.

What is Mips?

Mips is a brain protection system that is designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts.

Can I return the helmet if it doesn't fit?

Check the retailer's return policy. Most retailers allow returns if the helmet is unused and in its original condition.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose or unstable.

Adjust the Roc Loc Trail Air fit system to achieve a snug and secure fit. Check the chin strap and ensure it's properly fastened.

Excessive sweating inside the helmet.

Ensure proper ventilation by adjusting the helmet's vents. Consider using a cycling cap to absorb sweat.

Visor won't stay in place.

Tighten the visor adjustment screws. If the problem persists, inspect the visor and mounting points for damage.
