Description
The Switchblade Mips from GIRO is an incredibly versatile helmet with its removable chin bar. Designed for committed riding and in particular competitive DH, it has all the necessary safety certifications, including ASTM-1952-DH, whether the chin bar is in place or not. It is easy to install/remove as it simply requires pressing a button located on the underside and rotating it.
The helmet structure, based on an In-Mold design (ABS outer shell / EPS liner), is extremely robust, notably thanks to a series of internal anchors moulded directly into the EPS foam. Safety is further enhanced by Mips technology, which greatly attenuates the impact in the event of a fall by distributing the shockwave across the entire helmet surface. The Roc Loc Air DH Fit adjustment system also ensures a perfect fit and maximum stability.
Comfort is also present with 20 ventilation tunnels located in both the main section and the chin bar, ensuring excellent airflow throughout the effort. In addition, the Switchblade features hydrophilic foams capable of absorbing up to ten times their weight in water, for very effective sweat absorption, with an X-Static antimicrobial coating.
The finish is very refined as this helmet is optimised for fitting a protective mask via the support on its P.O.V. Plus visor, and features a spare visor allowing a camera to be mounted.
All this for a stated weight under 1,000 grams and an ultra-competitive price.
