Here are some of the things you can expect from mountain bike helmets with this feature:

Ultra lightweight - 40% lighter helmets that Roc Loc 4 helmets

Micro dial - Choose to open or close your helmet’s retention system with the twist of a dial. No need to remove the helmet off of you head. It’s audible, too, so you’ll know if you’ve done it or not.

No need to remove the helmet. You can even adjust on the go! Ergonomic design ensures a comfortable fit even when worn for hours.

Dual pods - These dual pods are two panels at the back of your head designed to give you a comfortable and secure fit.

Strap baskets - no need to worry about the straps of your helmet slipping or coming loose.

Universal Fit

This program is designed with the goal of making it easier for consumers to find a helmet that fits perfectly and looks great, too.

Super Cool Vents

The design of the vents in your Giro helmet has been researched to give you maximum ventilation. Not only do they look great, but they also give you maximum comfort and cooling as you navigate those perilous terrains.

Wind Tunnel Ventilation

Giro cycling helmets that carry this feature use a combination of vents and internal exhaust channels that pull fresh air in and thrust stale air out. This technology is available with Giro Omen. Try it and feel the difference.

Stack Vent

Goggles that fog up can be annoying at best and dangerous at worst. Minimize fog by using helmets that have a stack vent design on the center vent.

In Mold Construction

Impact absorbing liners are fused to the polycarbonate shell of the helmet, giving you better safety and better ventilation.
