Giro Switchblade MIPS Mat Black/Glos Black 2022
The Giro Switchblade MIPS™ helmet is a new ASTM certified downhill full-face helmet with a removable chin guard. Fully optimized for downhill, the Switchblade meets all the required standards: CPSC, EN-1078 and ASTM-1952-DH, with or without a chin guard!
The chin guard is easy to remove - just press the button under the guard, turn it up and take it off - it's just as easy to put it back on.
The Switchblade MIPS is equipped with a full Roc Loc® Air DH fit clamping system, which has a shock absorber around the adjustment wheel, which prevents accidental adjustment of the helmet when the wheel touches a backpack or neck brace.
If you take off the chin guard, the Wind Tunnel ventilation on the cheeks starts to cool more during your pedaling up the hill.
If your entire ride is all about descending, your helmet should be too - and the Switchblade MIPS helmet is the only helmet with a removable chin guard that's truly made for downhill!
All Giro helmets are designed to absorb as much energy as possible during an impact and thus comply with the current European standard: EN 1078. The aim of the new MIPS technology is to eliminate the rotational forces that act on the head in the event of a fall. In an impact at any angle, the MIPS system allows the EPS shell of the helmet to rotate around the rider's head. Despite only rotating a few millimeters, MIPS technology significantly reduces the amount of rotational force that would otherwise be transferred to the brain.
