Giro was founded more than 30 years ago by Jim Gentes, a man with an obsession for design and answering unmet needs. That obsession led him to start making his own products and ultimately resulted in a company committed to serving the rider through personal expression and advanced performance.

In this article, we will examine the comparison and details of Gero’s two cycling helmets, the Giro Fixture MIPS V / S Giro Isode MIPS models. These helmets are adult cycling helmets, using MIPS technology used for Equestrian, Snow, Safety work, and cycling.

What is MIPS technology?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, which is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. MIPS has been developed by leading brain surgeons and scientists to reduce the rotational forces on the brain caused by angled impacts on the head. 

How does a Mips® safety system work?

The Mips® safety system features a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows a multi-directional movement of 10-15mm on certain angled impacts, intended to help reduce rotational force to the head.
