Giro Aries Spherical MIPS Helmet Matte Black

The Giro Aries Spherical MIPS helmet features a slim, ultra-lightweight design that offers sensational comfort and cooling power. It is equipped with Spherical Technology, a MIPS-driven ball joint design, which improves cranial protection by redirecting energy away from the brain on certain impacts. Progressive Layering system on the inside, with dual densities of Nanobead EPS foam, adds more complete energy management on impact. The 24 vents with internal air channelling are maximised by the AURA II reinforcement arch, which consolidates the helmet's robust structure. The plush DryCore internal pad wicks away sweat and combines with a network of deep internal channels to enhance comfort. The Roc Loc 5+ Air system provides a simple and effective fit.

Technology:

• MIPS

MIPS is the leading helmet slip plane technology, designed to reduce rotational impact of certain knocks. When the head rotates rapidly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration can cause high levels of stress in the brain tissue. The tissue strain caused by these movements can result in various types of brain injuries. We believe that helmets equipped with MIPS technology bring the highest level of protection against certain types of impacts. MIPS uses a slip plane technology that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the same protection system that the brain uses. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the aim of potentially slowing or reducing the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science shows that if we can reduce the stress associated with rotational acceleration, we can reduce the risk and severity of brain damage.
