FAQs
What is Mips® technology?
Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a leading slip-plane inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain angled impacts to the head.
Is this helmet suitable for cycling in hot weather?
Yes, the Giro Agilis MIPS features 32 Wind Tunnel vents with internal channeling designed for exceptional airflow and cooling, making it suitable for hot weather riding.
Can I attach a visor to this helmet?
The Giro Agilis MIPS is not designed to accommodate a separate visor. Its streamlined design prioritizes aerodynamics and ventilation.
What safety standards does this helmet meet?
The helmet complies with the US CPSC safety standard for bicycle helmets and the EU CE EN1078 safety standard.
How do I clean the helmet?
Clean the helmet with mild soap and water. For the internal padding, it can usually be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the recommended lifespan for a cycling helmet?
It is generally recommended to replace a cycling helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no damage is visible.
Is the Roc Loc 5 MIPS fit system easy to use?
Yes, the Roc Loc 5 MIPS system is designed for one-handed operation, allowing for quick and precise adjustments to the fit and vertical position while riding.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Adjust the Roc Loc 5 MIPS dial for a tighter fit. Ensure the straps are correctly positioned and snugged under the chin. The helmet should not move freely on your head.
Straps are uncomfortable or causing irritation
Readjust the strap 'Y' position below the ears. Ensure the straps are not twisted and that the buckle is comfortably positioned under the chin. Tighten or loosen as needed for a balanced feel.
Ventilation seems insufficient
Ensure there are no obstructions in the Wind Tunnel vents or internal channeling. Make sure the helmet is positioned correctly on your head, allowing for optimal airflow.
Difficulty adjusting the fit system
Ensure the Roc Loc 5 MIPS dial is clean and free of debris. Gently rotate the dial while applying slight pressure. Refer to the setup section for correct adjustment technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Adjust Straps: Loosen the side straps and place the helmet on your head. Adjust the straps so they form a 'Y' just below your earlobes.
- Fasten Buckle: Connect the chin strap buckle securely. Ensure it is snug but comfortable.
- Fit Adjustment: Use the Roc Loc 5 MIPS dial at the back of the helmet to tighten or loosen the fit until it is snug and stable without creating pressure points.
- Final Check: The helmet should not rock forward, backward, or side-to-side. The front edge should sit about one or two finger-widths above your eyebrows.

- The helmet is designed to be compatible with most head shapes for adults.
- It complies with US CPSC and EU CE EN1078 safety standards, making it legal for use in most regions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the helmet shell and straps using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the materials.
- Padding: The Coolfit™ anti-microbial padding can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it where it could be crushed or damaged.
