Giro Montaro MIPS Mountain Bike Helmet

Is the Giro Montaro MIPS head protection good?

We feel the Giro Montaro MIPS offers a good degree of head protection that is comparable to many of the other helmets in this review. For starters, it has decent coverage, about average when compared to the competition. It doesn’t have the deepest fit, but it covers a reasonable amount of the temporal and occipital lobes.

Which is the best helmet Giro or Montaro?

Giro’s Chronicle MIPS helmet sits in the middle of its range and takes design cues from the more expensive Montaro, and while it includes some of its key features for a premium feel it doesn’t share its higher price.

How does the cradle work on a Giro MIPS?

The cradle and helmet fit is adjusted using Giro’s Roc Loc 5 system – a Boa-style indexed circular dial with a tabbed vertical cradle adjuster. The chin strap is fastened using a standard clip and the strap splitters are vertically adjustable.

Which is better Giro Montaro or Giro manifest?

At a full $100 more than the excellent Montaro, the Manifest is a lightweight trail helmet with some interesting safety technology and claimed best-in-class ventilation. The magnetic Fidlock buckle connects quickly and easily. The Manifest has a softer inner shell, and a harder outer shell. Three height positions for the Roc Loc fit system.

Giro are back already with another helmet, this time featuring MIPS. This is a safety feature not found on all helmets, and is frankly one that some manufacturers are not convinced of. That being said, other helmet makers think it is an important safety feature and Giro is definitely one that falls into that camp.

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. This means that an internal plastic liner is mounted inside the helmet where it sits close to your scalp. This provides a few millimeters of additional movement during a crash, which can help to protect against rotational brain injuries during an impact.
