We all droop our noggins when we tap out on energy for the day, but to have it be a struggle to keep your head up when in the middle of an epic fresh powder day is just a pain. To alleviate that pain, Giro designs the Grid MIPS, which drops heavy, laboring weight to give you a lid with enhanced safety that checks in at only 400 grams. Giro achieves this grin-inducing weight even with the addition of MIPS Spherical, which sees two layers of EPS foam rotating independently during an impact to provide enhanced protection. Giro could have stopped there, but they boosted the creature comforts with Polartec Power Grid padding, removable ear pads, and audio compatibility for Giro systems by Outdoor Tech. A Fidlock buckle securely clicks so you can keep your hands gloved and warm, and adjustable venting opens up to keep you fresh on tour back to the top for another run.
