Product Information

Full details

The Giro Agilis MIPS Road Helmet is designed for adult cyclists seeking a blend of airy comfort, enhanced safety, and performance features for road and multi-surface riding. Its key benefit is the integration of MIPS technology for reduced rotational impact forces, coupled with effective ventilation and a secure fit system. A potential caveat is that the 'slightly deeper coverage' might not suit all head shapes or preferences, but overall it offers a durable and comfortable protective solution for daily riders and enthusiasts alike.

FAQs

What does MIPS stand for and how does it work?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It's a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to allow the head to move slightly relative to the helmet during an angled impact, helping to redirect rotational forces away from the brain.

How do I determine the correct helmet size?

Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and ears. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by Giro. The Agilis MIPS comes in S, M, L, and XL sizes.

Can I use this helmet for activities other than road cycling?

The Giro Agilis MIPS is designed for road and multi-surface riding, meaning it can handle light gravel or dirt paths. However, it is not certified for extreme sports like downhill mountain biking, skateboarding, or skiing.

How often should I replace my helmet?

It is generally recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, depending on usage and environmental factors. More importantly, you must replace your helmet immediately after any significant impact, regardless of visible damage.

Is the padding removable for cleaning?

Yes, the Cool-fit anti-microbial padding is removable. You can hand wash it with mild soap and cold water and allow it to air dry completely.

What is the 'Hardbody Lower Wrap' feature?

This refers to the tough polycarbonate outer shell that extends down to cover the lower part of the helmet. It's permanently fused to the EPS foam liner, enhancing durability and protecting against everyday wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose.

Adjust the Roc Loc 5 Fit System dial at the rear of the helmet for a more precise fit. Ensure the webbing straps are also correctly adjusted under the chin and at the ears.

Straps are uncomfortable or digging in.

Readjust the strap dividers so they form a 'Y' shape below your ears. Ensure the buckle is positioned correctly and not pinching. You may need to fine-tune the strap length.

Ventilation seems insufficient.

Ensure the vents are not obstructed by debris or hair. While designed for airflow, extreme heat conditions may still lead to some warmth. Consider riding during cooler parts of the day if possible.

Padding feels worn or is causing irritation.

The Cool-fit padding can be removed and hand-washed. If the padding is excessively worn, replacement pads may be available from the manufacturer or specialty retailers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent rotational impact protection with integrated MIPS.
  • Lightweight and durable construction thanks to the In-Mold Hardbody design.
  • Highly adjustable and comfortable fit system for a secure feel.
  • Effective ventilation keeps the rider cool on long rides.
  • Designed for both road and multi-surface versatility.

Cons

  • The 'slightly deeper coverage' may not be ideal for all head shapes.
  • While durable, the polycarbonate shell can be susceptible to scratches from sharp impacts.
  • The single-hand adjustment system, while good, may feel less refined than higher-end systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the helmet is the correct size by measuring your head circumference (refer to sizing chart).
  2. Place the helmet on your head. Adjust the Roc Loc 5 Fit System dial at the back for a snug, comfortable fit. The helmet should not move excessively when you shake your head.
  3. Adjust the webbing straps to form a 'Y' below your ears, with the buckle sitting just below your chin. Tighten the buckle so it's secure but comfortable.

Compatibility:

  • The Giro Agilis MIPS is designed for adult cyclists and is compatible with road cycling and multi-surface riding.
  • It is compatible with most standard cycling eyewear.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the helmet shell and padding. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Padding: The Cool-fit padding can be removed for hand washing with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it near sharp objects that could damage the shell.
  • Impacts: If the helmet has been subjected to a significant impact, it must be replaced, even if no damage is visible. The MIPS liner and EPS foam may have sustained internal damage that compromises its protective capabilities.
