GIRO full face bicycle helmet SWITCHBLADE INTEGRATED MIPS, matte dark red

The extremely functional full face SWITCHBLADE INTEGRATED MIPS® cycling helmet by GIRO, is the perfect combination of style and performance, the modern design together with the aerodynamic profile, make it a versatile multifunctional helmet. You don't have to choose between the comfort and lightness of a classic MTB helmet or the reliability and safety that comes with a full face, here is a model that guarantees both comfort and safety. The removable chin section, allows you to quickly adapt the helmet to the current conditions on the route, providing full face protection whenever you hit a technically difficult downhill section during a tour or training session. Importantly, this helmet is equipped with the MIPS System (MULTI-DIRECTIONAL IMPACT PROTECTION SYSTEM), a multi-directional impact protection system used by leading bicycle helmet manufacturers, allowing to reduce the risk of head injuries to a minimum. Another praiseworthy feature of the SWITCHBLADE INTEGRATED MIPS® helmet is the Roc Loc® Air DH, a revolutionary adjustment system that adds a new dimension to helmet performance by enhancing cooling, stability as well as through the convenience of individual adjustment. The Wind Tunnel™ ventilation system it features includes active air intakes made in the shell of the helmet, connected to outlet ducts running inside the helmet, which allow fresh, cool air to flow around the head while exhausting warm, stale air. In addition, the helmet liner exhibits hydrophilic properties, allowing it to soak up to 10 times its weight in water, while helping you to manage perspiration while riding, the liner traps moisture, preventing sweat from dripping into your eyes, and then dries quickly. Antimicrobial, the X-Static padding contains pure silver fibres, which have natural antibacterial properties that reduce odour and regulate heat dissipation, so the helmet remains naturally fresh and pleasant to wear

FEATURES:

• type: full face cycling helmet
• aerodynamic profile for increased performance
• removable chin section
• construction: inMold construction - this construction combines a tough polycarbonate outer shell with a shock-absorbing EPS foam helmet liner. The bonding process results in the best ventilation systems, superior durability and incredibly low weight, while the EPS foam liner provides excellent shock absorption in the event of impact
• MIPS system (Multi-Directional Impact System) 
• 20 air vents creating internal air channels for exceptional thermal comfort 
• cheek ventilation
• adjustment system: Roc Loc ® Air DH
• ventilation system: Wind Tunnel™ Ventilation
• Hydrophilic x -Static anti-bacterial liner
• Spare shield with camera attachment
• P.O.V. visor Plus visor with adjustment mechanism
• CERTIFICATES: CPSC Bicycle, ASTM-1952 DH, EN-1078

TECHNOLOGIES USED:

• MIPS system (MULTI-DIRECTIONAL IMPACT PROTECTION SYSTEM) - a multi-directional impact protection system, used by leading bicycle helmet manufacturers, still remains revolutionary as far as the quality of head protection during an impact is concerned. Its action consists in isolating the layer of the helmet directly adhering to the head from overloading and possible movements of the helmet shell during a fall, thanks to which the exposure of a part of the head during an accident becomes impossible. MIPS is a type of padding which (provided the helmet is properly fitted) always remains in the same place on the head, allowing a certain amount of movement of the helmet shell during impact with an obstacle or friction, so that the overload and energy created during an accident is well distributed and the risk of head injury is kept to a minimum.
• Roc Loc ® Air DH adjustment system - a new, innovative adjustment system that promotes efficient ventilation, improves helmet stability and individual fit. The patented design holds the helmet a few millimetres above the top of your head, allowing the Roc Loc ® Air DH system to allow cool air to flow directly over your head, while increasing the efficiency of the vents and internal ducts to dissipate heat from under the helmet. The adjustable fit allows you to easily adjust the tension and front tilt of the helmet, in seconds and with just one hand.
• Wind Tunnel™ Ventilation system - is a design that includes active air intakes made in the shell of the helmet, connected to outlet ducts running inside the helmet, allowing fresh, cool air to flow around your head while exhausting warm, stale air. This is the most efficient helmet cooling system on the market.
• X-Static hydrophilic liner - exhibits hydrophilic properties, which allows it to soak up to 10 times its weight with water, helping you to cope with sweating while driving, lining retains moisture preventing sweat from dripping into your eyes, and then quickly dries up. It was made of a fabric containing pure silver fibers. Silver has natural antibacterial properties, reducing the formation of unpleasant odors and regulating heat dissipation, thanks to which the helmet remains naturally fresh and pleasant to use.
• P.O.V. Plus visor - visor adjustment mechanism that allows it to be moved up and down in several steps, these steps include three positions and a high position for storing the goggles above the eyebrows
