Giro, Cinder MIPS cycling helmet, black, Unisex

Product Information

One of the tradeoffs Giro makes here is providing improved durability by adding more structural support to the helmet while sacrificing a bit of ventilation.

Both helmets are EN1078 certified, which is one of the main things that any helmet at least should comply with, thus ensuring a certain level of protection. MIPS is an added protection that reduces rotational forces on angled impacts and therefore reduces the chance of concussions. But MIPS testing is still not included in the certification process of helmets, meaning the effectiveness of these implementations to reduce rotational forces can vary greatly.
