Description GIRO Avera MIPS Helmet
The women's Avera helmet was inspired by the panoramas of mountain ranges and the stylish arcs carved into fresh powder. The lightweight In-Mold shell is equipped with the In Form fitting system, which perfectly holds the helmet on the head. In addition to adjusting the circumference by 6 cm, you also have height adjustment available to achieve a perfect fit with glasses or hair tied in a ponytail. When you ski all day, the feeling of cold can quickly alternate with feeling hot. That's why you'll appreciate the easy ventilation regulation of the Thermostat Control – you won't even have to take off your gloves. The helmet is equipped with very fine inner padding. Selected colors are available with MIPS technology, which offers enhanced brain protection against rotational forces.

MIPS IS MOVEMENT
ADVANCEMENT IN SKI HELMET DEVELOPMENT
All Giro helmets are designed to absorb as much impact energy as possible and comply with the applicable European standard: EN 1077. The goal of the new MIPS technology is to eliminate rotational forces that act on the head in the event of a fall and subsequent impact on the slope. Upon impact at any angle, the MIPS system allows the EPS shell of the helmet to rotate independently around the head. Although this movement is only on the order of a few millimeters, we believe that MIPS technology significantly reduces the amount of rotational force that would otherwise be transferred to the brain.
WHAT IS MIPS (Multidirectional Impact Protection System) and how does it work?
MIPS is a slippery insert between the EPS shell (the body of the helmet) and the inner padding. In the event of an angled impact, the EPS shell of the helmet rotates a few millimeters over the MIPS layer, thereby protecting the head and brain from a sharp rotational jerk.
