Ski helmet GIRO AVANCE SPHERICAL MIPS Matte Black Carbon

AVANCE™ MIPS
Avance ™ MIPS is the most advanced helmet in Giro history. Its design incorporates our most sophisticated form of MIPS, the MIPS Spherical. MIPS Spherical redirects impact energy through two separate layers of EP-Premium foam and eliminates elastic slip. Other premium details of the Avance MIPS helmet include the Textreme® carbon fibre shell, EP-Premium foam and antibacterial X-Static® inserts. The carbon shell has an intelligent shape with strategically added material for areas where downhill goal strikes are common, what we call the Hammerhead Project. The US Ski Team and our sponsored athletes also confirm that the Giro Avance MIPS is more comfortable, quieter and lighter than anything else they have experienced.

TECHNOLOGY:

*ENGINEERED COMFORT
HEADY SHAPE - Giro's own headforms have been developed using a combination of precision head scans, meticulous fitting studies, and aggregation of head size and shape data across the globe. Giro also uses scaled head shapes to match our Asian fitting line.

Helmet depth - The ideal helmet depth successfully combines comfort with complete coverage of the forehead, back of the head and ears. This is achieved through careful research and prototypes printed in 3D to ensure a perfect fit in combination with low temperatures, high speeds and wind.

*MIPS SPHERICAL
MIPS Spherical is an improvement and evolution of the Multi-Directional Impact Protection (MIPS) system. Thanks to this sophisticated design, the two layers of EPP foam fit together like a ball joint. This system helps protect the brain from rotational energy by allowing a relative movement of 10 to 15 millimeters between helmet and head during the first milliseconds of impact.

- Exclusively in GIRO products: Avance MIPS and Emerge MIPS
- Evolution of MIPS, a leading brain protection system designed to reduce rotational movement
- Eliminates the low-friction liner found in typical MIPS helmets and redirects impact energy to allow two layers of foam to move independently.
- Developed in Giro's own test laboratory, The Dome, in collaboration with the MIPS, based in Stockholm.
- MIPS is based on more than two decades of scientific research conducted by researchers from Karolinska Hospital and the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.

APPLICABLE IN AVANCE MIPS AND EMERGE MIPS - MIPS Spherical debuted in our World Cup FIS racing helmet - Avance MIPS - as a result of broad engineering interest, research and development and testing by world-class down-hill racers to reduce rotational movement transmitted to the brain during impact at an angle. This sleek design provides a more streamlined, integrated and smoother system, ultimately providing protection across a wide range of impacts at an angle. Now, this technology - designed to meet the needs of the most demanding athletes at the highest level - is available in an elegant, low-profile and more affordable Emerge MIPS helmet.

*PERFECTING FIT
SUMA IS MORE THAN its COMPOSITION - perfecting the fit is learning. It is the sum of part of 30 years of Giro's experience in helmet making and a dose of black art. These are tireless hours of research and development at the Dome, our world-class testing laboratory in Santa Cruz, California. It's science, math and technology; all backed by fitting development research, thousands of 3D head scans and user feedback that delivers a perfect fit. The result is an accurate and consistent fit for all Giro helmet and goggle models, relating to different types of construction, head shapes, sizes and fitting systems. We call this continuous process our formula for a perfect fit and it is this dedication that makes Giro the world's leading choice.

*PRECISION PADDING
Designing a padding zone - The Giro padding is strategically positioned to work in tandem with the head shape, helmet depth and MIPS system. The lining is positioned to provide warmth and breathability, and to match the ventilation systems of k
