GIRO REGISTER MIPS II W Women’s Bike Helmet

The REGISTER MIPS II women’s bike helmet by GIRO offers a lot of performance at a fair price. The IN-MOLD technology in combination with the ROC-LOC system offers you comfort and performance – the robust polycarbonate outer shell is permanently fused with the EPS foam lining as part of the IN-MOLD construction process to improve durability and ventilation without adding volume. With a removable visor, generous vents and the MIPS EVOLVE CORE safety system, the REGISTER MIPS II leaves nothing to be desired.

Highlights & Technologies:

WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane system within the helmet. It is designed to rotate inside the helmet and thus slow down or reduce the impact energy acting on the brain, which helps reduce head injuries caused by rotational impacts.
WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration may cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue caused by these motions may result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.
HOW DOES MIPS WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow down or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.

IN-MOULD:
With the IN-MOLD construction, the robust polycarbonate outer shell is bonded to the impact-absorbing EPS inner shell in a single operation while it foams.
The liner is fused with the outer shell under high pressure and strong heat for a lasting connection. This makes the helmet even more resistant without adding weight. This production process also makes it possible to shape significantly better ventilation systems and vents. IN-MOLD helmets are therefore lighter than traditional helmets and have significantly better ventilation systems.

EPS:
All Giro helmets come with a liner shell made of EPS (expanded polystyrene). EPS is the most efficient material for absorbing shock and impact energies. EPS is extremely lightweight and maintains its properties in a wide temperature range.
The purpose of the inner EPS shell is to prevent or reduce a rider’s head injuries in the event of a fall. The shell absorbs the impact energy and is thereby itself compressed or even destroyed (comparable to an airbag in a car). This is why you should always replace a bike helmet with a new one after an impact.

ROC LOC SPORT FIT SYSTEM:
This adjustment mechanism offers an adjustment range of 7 cm and can be operated with one hand. Ponytail compatible.

SNAP FIT 2:
SNAP FIT 2 is a removable visor that can be removed in no time and reattached when needed.

UNIVERSAL FIT:
A universal fit with an easy-to-use adjustment system allows for and optimal and secure fit on almost any head.

Note:
The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
