The Synthe’s design is open, sleek and incredibly efficient

2015 GIRO CYCLING HELMETS

THE SYNTHE FASTER IS COOLER

NEW!

The choice of top pros, including World Champion Marianne Vos

Imagine a light weight, low-profile helmet with aerodynamic efficiency that rivals a time trial design and also provides awesome cooling power. A synthesis of the performance benefits you want, every time you line up to race, train or ride.

Now, you can have those benefits in a single helmet, the Synthe™.

The Synthe’s aerodynamic efficiency is a breakthrough in vented helmet design.

The Roc Loc® Air system offers one-handed fit tuning for superb comfort

Deep internal channeling with Roc Loc® Air provides outstanding cooling

Our extensive wind tunnel testing, using wind averaged drag calculations to assess performance in a wide range of conditions, reveals that the Synthe is nearly as fast as time trial helmets in a standard “road” position, without compromising the cooling power your body needs for maximum power output. That cooling power is immediately apparent on the road, besting our test results and nearly matching the temperatures recorded for a bare headform over 30 minutes.

Even with all of this performance, weight is an impressive 250 grams for a size medium CPSC compliant Synthe, making it a great choice when you’re battling for KOM’s or a personal best at the summit.

The Quarter’s design is very low profile and compact

NEW!

THE QUARTER & DIME KINGS OF THE DIRT Compression molded pads offer a snug, comfortable fit and manage sweat

A distraction is the last thing you want when you’re in the air trying to spot a landing. That’s why the new Quarter is designed from the buckle up to be simple, durable and to stay out of the way until you need it.

It starts with a single-piece ABS hardshell that’s built to last, and backed with a proven EPS liner. To enhance durability we’ve added a polyurethane liner shield around the perimeter to protect the EPS from everyday dents and dings.

The Quarter is also impressively low profile and comfortable, with a compression molded pad system and your choice of 3 sizes to get a snug, secure fit.

THE CIPHER JUMPING AHEAD

NEW!

The Cipher offers wide-open field of view for a great fit with modern goggles

The Cipher™ is the first mountain bike helmet to incorporate vinyl nitrile (VN), a soft and flexible material that rebounds to absorb impact energy over more than a single impact when utilized appropriately*as an additional protective feature. By utilizing the benefits of this material to help manage impacts around the jawline, the Cipher can better manage low-energy, day-to-day impacts in this sensitive area. This added protective capability complements the Cipher’s ASTM F1952 compliant EPS liner to give DH, enduro and freeride athletes the most relevant protective capability at race-winning speeds or for Vinyl Nitrile padding helps to manage impact energy around the jawline

progressive lines in the park.

Of course the Cipher boasts other industry-leading features including an integrated POV camera mount with breakaway design in case of impact; O-Snap™ earbud cable management and compatibility with our TuneUps™ audio speakers; integrated custom-molded gasketing and a field of view optimized for larger modern goggle designs. (*Note: Riders should always ride within their limits and the limits of their equipment. Any helmet should be inspected for damage after an impact,

Emergency Removable Cheek pads ease helmet removal in the event of a crash

O-Snap™ Cable Management holds cables securely and keeps them from being pulled out of the helmet

and replaced if there are signs of damage or use that might compromise its performance.)

Roc Loc速 Air combined with channels for air flow and ventilation in the Synthe

16

2015 GIRO CYCLING HELMETS

ROC LOC AIR SO COOL Physics. Aerodynamics. Thermodynamics. In simple terms, the patent-pending Roc Loc® Air considers how these three sciences can work together to supercharge a helmet’s cooling power. By complementing external vents and internal ventilation channels, Roc Loc Air helps to cool the head more quickly and efficiently than vents alone, and allows us to also design helmets that are both cool and aerodynamically efficient.

It also provides a comfortable fit thanks to micro-adjustable tensioning and vertical positioning features that allow you to quickly fine-tune the feel of the helmet to suit your needs.

Pro riders like Taylor Phinney of the BMC Racing Team appreciate the cool comfort that Roc Loc Air provides

The Roc Loc Air’s dial adjuster allows for easy, one-handed fit adjustment, and complements the vertical tuning features as well for a superb fit

AEON

GET MORE, AND LESS

If you want a cooler helmet, a more comfortable helmet, and the lightest helmet in our road line — then you want the Aeon™. We relentlessly optimized every one of our best features including the shape of the helmet itself, to reduce weight by 28 percent compared with the Aeon’s predecessor. We also sculpted massive vents with interior channeling for maximum cooling power, and integrated the full adjustability and comfort of a Roc Loc® 5 system for a secure, luxurious fit.

Bicycling is a dangerous activity which may result in serious injury or even death. Although our equipment is designed to help reduce the risk of such injuries, there is no guarantee that any injury will be prevented by the use of this equipment. Proper fit is essential to the effectiveness of a bicycle helmet. The Fit system (the system that wraps around and behind the skull) in your bicycle helmet is designed to provide stability when you ride, resisting wind and vibration forces. The Retention system (the system that goes under the chin) is designed to provide stability against impact forces should a crash occur. For proper use of your helmet and further description of your helmet’s features, please refer to the owner’s manual.

2015 CYCLING HELMET ICON KEY SUPER FIT ENGINEERING Our proprietary Super Fit™ sizing system is based on “human scale factors” data and over 25 years of handcrafting helmets.

By creating helmet molds in up to 4 adult sizes to match the human body’s form, our Super Fit™ sizes comfortably and securely fit riders, and feel like they are custom made just for you.

UNIVERSAL FIT SIZING Our Universal Fit™ helmets are sculpted to look good and fit great for almost anyone on the first try. By developing proprietary shell sizes based on specific customer groups, and combining them with an easily-adjustable fit system, it’s easy for you get the right fit, straight out of the box, without the hassle or expense of trying multiple sizes.

ROC LOC ® AIR FIT SYSTEM This revolutionary fit system adds a new dimension to helmet performance by enhancing cooling, as well as fit comfort and stability.

Using a patented design that suspends the helmet just slightly off the top of the skull, Roc Loc® Air allows cool airflow to pass directly over your head, further enhancing the performance of vents and internal channeling that exhaust heat out of the helmet. Fit and feel adjustments mimic the Roc Loc® 5, allowing you to easily custom tune fit tension and fore-aft tilt of the helmet in seconds using a single hand.

ROC LOC ® 5 FIT SYSTEM The industry benchmark in comfort, stability, adjustability and weight savings. In addition to enhancing the fit and comfort of helmets, Roc Loc® 5 allows you to easily custom tune the fit tension and the fore-aft tilt of the helmet in seconds using a single hand. And it’s lighter than comparable systems too, making it the ultimate in skull-hugging luxury.

ACU DIAL FIT SYSTEM The original Acu Dial™ system combines the ease of single-handed fit tension adjustment with a full 360° fit band for a quick, stable fit in our line of Universal Fit™ helmets. It’s also ponytail-compatible, for riders with longer hair.

IN FORM FIT SYSTEM The In Form™ system is a low-profile fit and stability system that makes it easy to dial-in the fit and feel of your helmet in seconds – even with gloves on. An ergo-friendly dial at the base of the helmet provides up to 6 cm of fit adjustment, and the system also includes a separate vertical turning feature that adjusts the fore / aft tilt of the helmet on your head to enhance peripheral vision and optimize the fit of the helmet with goggles.

CORD LOC FIT SYSTEM Cord Loc™ is a simple, durable fit system designed to take the hassle out of fitting and wearing a helmet. By using a supple elastic cord fit band at the back of the helmet to provide adjustment, the system can be set with one hand while wearing the helmet. Once set, the system cradles your head comfortably and securely.

AUTO LOC FIT SYSTEM Auto Loc™ is a simple, durable self-adjusting fit system designed to take the hassle out of fitting and wearing a helmet. By combining a supple elastic fit band at the back of the helmet with fixed-position straps, it automatically adjusts to cradle your head once you set the system to one of the three different circumference settings.

ONESTEP FIT SYSTEM OneStep™ is a self-adjusting fit system developed with years of research into anatomic data, and designed to take the hassle out of fitting kids’ helmets. By combining a supple, elastic fit band with fixed-position straps, it automatically adjusts to fit the child, and helps to keep the helmet positioned properly. Flashing LED taillights are integrated into the rear of the system for enhanced visibility, too!

WOMEN’S SERIES The Women’s Series™ is a diverse collection of helmet styles, fits and prices tailored to the demands of female riders. While the level of detail and range of colors is unique within the Women’s Series helmets, they do not feature a unique “women’s fit”. That’s because there is no anatomic difference between women and men’s heads except for the average skull diameter measurement. And since Giro helmet sizes cover 98% of the human population, we believe the Women’s Series offers more options to women than any other brand.

X-STATIC ® PADDING X-Static padding contains a fiber made with layers of pure silver that is permanently woven into the fabric. Silver has natural anti-microbial performance that helps to reduce odor and regulate heat, so your helmet stays fresh and comfortable, naturally.

VN

VINYL NITRILE Vinyl Nitrile (VN) is a soft and flexible material with exceptional impact management properties. Unlike expanded polystyrene (EPS) foams which can have diminished performance from each successive impact, VN can rebound to consistently absorb impact energy over more than a single impact when utilized appropriately.

FIT KIT Our Fit Kit™ pad system allows you to adjust the fit of your helmet in just a few seconds, without any tools. Simply choose the best combination of fit pads from the assortment supplied with the helmet, and swap them out to optimize comfort and stability. It’s fast, easy and allows you to customize the fit of the helmet without hassles.

IN-MOLD CONSTRUCTION The In-Mold construction process permanently fuses a light-yet-durable outer shell with the helmet’s impact-absorbing EPS foam liner, enhancing the strength of both parts. This fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, creating a one-piece ‘exoskeleton’ that allows the helmet to be lighter, more durable, and better ventilated than helmets with shells that are fastened or adhered to the liner.

HARD SHELL CONSTRUCTION Hard shell construction is the traditional method of combining a durable, molded outer shell with an impact-absorbing EPS foam liner.

By molding the shell separately from the helmet’s liner we can optimize the shell material, thickness and finish to create helmets that are tough yet stylish, and ideally suited to the style of riding they’re built for.

P. O.V. VISOR Point Of View™ visors are anchored by a patented internal clutch mechanism that allows 15-degrees of tool-free, on-the-fly vertical adjustment while preventing the visor from rattling and coming loose over rough and technical terrain. They’re also easily removed without tools.

WIND TUNNEL VENTILATION Giro helmets are developed utilizing our proprietary Wind Tunnel™ ventilation system. This elaborate design combines active vents in the helmet’s shell with exhaust channels inside the helmet that thrust fresh, cool air over and around the rider’s head while forcing heat and stale air out. It’s the most effective cooling system available, and a difference you can feel every time you ride.

ROLL CAGE REINFORCEMENT Roll Cage™ is a light-yet-tough web of reinforcement invisibly molded inside a helmet’s EPS foam liner. It helps the helmet to hold together under impact, and provides an extra measure of strength and integrity that you’ll never notice…unless you need it.

THERMOFORMED SL ROLL CAGE The Thermoformed SL Roll Cage™ is an ultra light polycarbonate skeleton fused into a helmet’s impact-absorbing foam liner. Visible on the bridges between vents, this layer of armor acts like a second shell, enhancing structural support, impact dispersion and penetration resistance while allowing us to carve the biggest vents possible without compromising the helmet’s strength or integrity.

GIRO HELMETS - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ARE HELMETS EFFECTIVE? Modern helmets practically disappear when you put one on, and they are the most effective means of preventing, and reducing the severity of cycling-related head injuries (anywhere from 45-85% of the most commonly reported brain injuries for cyclists).

HOW DO HELMETS WORK? When you fall or crash and hit your head, the helmet’s EPS foam liner compresses like an airbag to absorb energy, so that the brain doesn’t move around the inside of the skull with as much force. By absorbing energy during the impact, a helmet may reduce the likelihood of the most common brain injuries, such as concussions and hemorrhaging.

WHAT IS IN-MOLD CONSTRUCTION? Models like the Aeon™ and Xar™ are made by fusing the outer shell and the inner, impact-absorbing foam liner together permanently using pressure and steam in a mold. This often creates a lighter helmet because the shell reinforces the foam like a skin, eliminating extra adhesives and hardware, and allowing the use of a thinner polycarbonate shell.

WHAT IS INJECTION-MOLDED HARDSHELL CONSTRUCTION? Models like the Cipher™ and Quarter™ feature a pre-molded shell and foam liner that are formed separately, then bonded together. While this creates a slightly heavier helmet that generally is not as vented as In-Mold helmets, the thicker shell often resists dents and dings more easily and is less expensive to engineer and manufacture.

OVERVIEW OF CYCLING HELMET SAFETY STANDARDS Helmet standards help to govern the design and integrity of helmets so that riders get products that are well-designed for the type of riding they enjoy. All cycling helmets should be certified to the most relevant standards for the type of riding the wearer is participating in, and must be certified for the market they’re sold in. Here’s a simple breakdown of 3 key standards:

U.S. STANDARDS CPSC – the U.S. federal government’s standard for cycling helmets. All cycling helmets sold in the U.S. must comply with the CPSC standard.

ASTM F1952-09 – a voluntary standard specific to helmets for downhill MTB riding that requires a lower test line to help manage falls most commonly associated with more advanced off-road riding.

EUROPEAN UNION STANDARDS CE EN-1078 – the European Union standard for cycling helmets. All helmets sold in European Union must meet a CE standard for protective equipment.

HOW TO CREATE A GREAT, COMFORTABLE FIT Proper fit is essential to performance and comfort. A helmet must fit right and be worn properly in order to be effective. To offer the best fit possible, Giro makes helmets in a wide range of sizes for men, women and children.

STEP 1 - SIZING A HELMET CORRECTLY To determine the correct size, you should measure the circumference of the head. To do this, just wrap a measuring tape around the head, keeping the tape just above the ears and level front to back. Once you’ve determined the correct size, you can check to make sure the helmet fits comfortably and securely. If

AUSTRALIAN / NEW ZEALAND STANDARDS AS / NZS 2063 – the Australian standard for cycling helmets. All helmets sold in Australia must meet a government standard for protective equipment.

Proper Chinstrap Adjustment

You can determine which standard a Giro helmet meets by looking at the box label and on the label inside the helmet.

It is important to note that no one standard is superior to the others. They all cover many aspects of a helmet’s design, performance and certification, and they all have merit. However, the helmet you buy must be certified for sale and use in the market where it is purchased.

Also note that if a helmet doesn’t fit properly, it’s less effective, regardless of the standard the helmet is designed to.

WHAT IS A “MULTI-IMPACT” HELMET? Some helmets are referred to as “multi-impact”. There are two reasons why we do not claim that Giro cycling helmets are “multi-impact”: 1. No cycling helmet, regardless of the liner material or construction method used, can offer unlimited multiple-accident protection.

2. There is no way to predict how hard you might hit your head the next time you fall, so we believe that it is best to wear a helmet that has not been impacted previously.

Measuring the Skull

the helmet doesn’t fit with just a little room between your head and the headband when the fit system is loose, you should replace it with one that does. You should always wear the helmet positioned low enough in the front to protect your forehead, but not so low that it hinders your vision.

STEP 2 - ADJUSTING THE STRAPS AT THE SIDE OF THE HELMET With a proper fit, the front and rear straps should join at a point slightly below the ears.

To adjust the strap positioning, open the Tri Loc™ adjusters on the straps, put the helmet on and slide the straps through the adjusters until they are located comfortably under the ears. Make sure there is no slack in any of the straps. Then, close and lock the Tri Loc™ adjusters.

The bottom line is that if a helmet is involved in any serious impact, it should be inspected and replaced in case of any doubt, even if it appears undamaged.

STEP 4 - ADJUSTING THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE FIT STABILIZING SYSTEM A helmet should fit snugly on the wearer’s head, so that the skin on the forehead moves slightly when the helmet is moved back and forth. It should not cause a headache or be uncomfortably tight.

To adjust the fit tension of Roc Loc® or Acu Loc™ systems while the helmet is on the wearer’s head, rotate the dial adjuster on the back of the system to tighten or loosen the fit as needed. To adjust the fit tension of Auto Loc™ systems you must remove the helmet, and move the snap anchor forward or back to adjust the fit as needed.

For safety reasons, we recommend that you do not attempt to adjust the fit of a helmet while you are riding.

STEP 3 - ADJUSTING THE CHINSTRAP AND BUCKLE It is important that the chinstrap is comfortably snug and sits back against the throat, NOT on the point of the chin. It should be snug enough to prevent rolling-off, but loose enough so that the rider is able to open their mouth wide enough to eat. Make sure the loose ends of the strap pass through the rubber O-ring near the buckle. If it does not, the strap may slide loose and the helmet can come off accidentally.

2015 GIRO CYCLING HELMETS

STEP 5 - ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE FIT STABILIZING SYSTEM (not a feature of all systems) You can adjust the fit even more on Roc Loc® and Acu Loc™ systems that offer height adjustment, which allows the helmet’s fore/aft tilt to be optimized. Simply slide the system’s occipital pads (at the back of the helmet) up or down for comfort and best coverage.

Experiment until you get a fit that is most comfortable.

STEP 6 - CHECKING THE FIT Once you think a proper fit has been achieved, grab the helmet with both hands and twist lightly it to the left and right. If the helmet fits properly, the skin on the forehead will move as the helmet moves. If it does not, the helmet

justed, take a short test ride. Make any minor adjustments to improve comfort and stability.

If you have questions about fit, call Consumer Service at (800) 456-2355 or e-mail us at feedback@giro.com.

WHAT IF THE HELMET IS DAMAGED? Helmets don’t last forever. Damage to a helmet is not always visible. If a helmet is visibly damaged (cracked outer shell, crushed or cracked foam liner or any other damage) don’t use it. Some or all of the helmet’s protective capacity is used up when impacted. If you have any questions about the condition of a helmet, call us for information or to get a free inspection.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD A HELMET BE REPLACED? Giro has a general recommendation of replacing a helmet every three (3) years. If you have any questions as to the condition of your helmet please call us for information or to set up a free inspection.

WHAT KIND OF WARRANTY DOES GIRO OFFER? Any Giro helmet determined by Giro to be defective in materials or workmanship within one (1) year from the date of original purchase will be repaired or replaced, at Giro’s option, free of charge when received at the factory freight prepaid, together with proof of purchase. If you have questions regarding the condition of your helmet or the warranty coverage on your helmet, contact us or refer to the helmet owner’s manual before sending your helmet in for inspection or replacement consideration.

Next, grab the helmet with both hands and try to remove it by rolling the helmet forward and backward. THIS IS IMPORTANT. If you can roll it off the head completely, roll it forward so far that it blocks vision, or backward far enough to expose the forehead, it doesn’t fit correctly.

If you cannot adjust the helmet to fit properly according to these instructions, DO NOT USE THE HELMET. Replace it with a different size or model.

Once you are satisfied that the helmet fits correctly and that all straps are properly ad-

2015 CYCLING GLOVE ICON KEY

SUPER FIT ENGINEERING Super Fit™ Engineering is a proprietary process that guides the fit, design and patterning of every Giro glove for maximum comfort and performance. By carefully tailoring the palm, fingers and padding zones to match the shape and size of the hand, Super Fit™ reduces bunching and discomfort while enhancing grip, bar feel and the effectiveness of the padding.

THREE-PIECE PALM CONSTRUCTION Our unique 3-piece Palm Construction tailors the fit of our gloves to reduce bunching, and allows your hands to move naturally for enhanced control that doesn’t compromise bar feel. By designing each part of the palm to mimic a hand’s features and articulation, Giro gloves increase grip and provide a superior level of protection for the entire hand.

PITTARDS LEATHER Select Giro gloves feature Pittards® leathers, including Cabretta (hairsheep) leather chosen for its thin-but-tough structure.

Pittards® leathers undergo a special tanning process that helps the leather to absorb less water and resist sweat better than other leathers and synthetics. In addition to outstanding performance, no other material provides the fit and comfort of natural leather; it is a difference you will feel the moment you try on a pair of Giro gloves.

CLARINO MICROFIBER Select Giro gloves feature Clarino™ microfiber which mimics the complex structure of natural leather’s supple feel with enhanced weather resistance and everyday durability. In addition to outstanding performance, Clarino™ is easy to care for, breathable, and remains soft and flexible even in cold and wet conditions, which makes it a great value as well.

AX SUEDE MICROFIBER Giro gloves feature AX Suede™ microfiber with a supple feel and the durability to be worn every day. In addition to great feel and comfort that mimics natural suede, AX Suede™ is easy to care for, breathable, and remains soft and flexible even in cold and wet conditions, which makes it a great value as well.

COOLSKIN MICROFIBER CoolSkin is an exceptionally lightweight, vented fabric used in the palm of our LTZ and Rivet cloves. Along with unsurpassed airflow and breathability, it retains good structure and durability to make a lighter, cooler glove with great feel. It’s the closest you can get to a true “second skin”.

THINSULATE XT-S Select Giro winter gloves feature Thinsulate™ XT-S insulation for exceptional warmth and comfort, with X-Static® anti-microbial properties that help to control bacteria and odor. We use more insulation in the top of the gloves to provide warmth from the elements, and a little less in the palm to maintain grip and bar feel without compromising comfort.

MAPP MERINO FIBER MAPP® Merino fibers have a complex structure with a hydrophilic (water holding) interior, known as the cortex and a hydrophobic (water repelling) exterior, known as the cuticle. This allows MAPP fabric to absorb perspiration without making you feel damp and uncomfortable, with the added benefit of being naturally water-repellent. It also buffers the body’s microclimate in changing conditions, maintaining comfort.

70

HIPORA HIPORA® barriers are made of a waterproof film with polyurethane coating and numerous micro pores which block water from the outside, yet allow the moisture generated by the body to exit. Glove liners made with HIPORA® are waterproof, windproof and breathable all at the same time, and will keep hands dry and comfortable when the weather demands it.

PERTEX Pertex© Shield provides the perfect balance of waterproofness and breathability, with wind- and water- repellency and flexibility in a light weight material. The fabric combines advanced face fabric technology with a proprietary polyurethane film laminate that reduces internal condensation and increases comfort range. It’s also durable, making it a great choice for riding when the weather turns tough.

SUPERGEL PADDING SuperGel is a proprietary 6 mm two-stage padding that combines superior shock- and vibration-absorbing properties with enhanced comfort and handlebar grip. Vibration damping is achieved with a base layer of 2 mm Technogel® polyurethane cushioning that absorbs impact energy and will not harden or break down over time. Comfort and grip at the handlebar is enhanced with 4mm rebound foam that allows hands to hold bars with more comfort and stability when roads and trails are rough.

TECHNOGEL Technogel® is a proprietary polyurethane cushioning material originally designed for medical applications. It is unique because it molds itself to the body along all three axes to distribute pressure, while traditional gel padding materials tend to deform along only one axis, which causes pressure to accumulate. In addition to superior pressure distribution it also absorbs more impact energy, and it does not harden or break down over time.

PORON XRD Poron® XRD™ is a soft, shock-absorbing material specifically engineered to absorb impact energy, without a loss of performance from repeated impacts. Using “intelligent molecules”, Poron® XRD™ remains supple and flexible until impacted, when the molecules lock together immediately to deflect and help absorb shock. Other benefits include “open cell, breathable” performance with antifungal properties, and no latex, PVCs, VOCs, or heavy metals.

TOUCHSCREEN TECHNOLOGY™ Capacitive touchscreens found on most mobile devices like iPhone react to natural bioelectricity in your skin. By combining a conductive fiber into the fingertips of select Giro gloves, you can stay connected to your mobile device without removing your gloves.

WOMEN’S SERIES The Women’s Series™ is a diverse collection of styles, fits and prices tailored to the tastes and needs of female riders. Not only is the level of detail and range of colors unique within the Women’s Series gloves, but they also feature female-specific sizing and patterning.

That’s because most women’s hands have less volume, a narrower palm and finger lengths that differ from men’s hands.

FLEX ZONES Flex Zones™ are carefully integrated into select Giro full-finger glove patterns in order to allow the glove to mimic the hand’s natural articulation without bunching or binding. The result is a glove with a lighter, more natural feel that enhances comfort and control.

71

GIRO GLOVES - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT GIRO GLOVES?

WHY DOES GIRO USE A 3-PANEL PALM?

Every rider benefits when equipment fits and feels like a part of them. With innovations like our unique 3-panel palm design and better materials like Technogel®, Pittards® leathers and Poron® XRD™ armoring, Giro’s range of road, dirt, winter and recreational gloves provides enhanced comfort and control that you can feel, every time you ride.

The human hand is an amazingly dynamic instrument, with strength and dexterity that is essential to a rider’s control of a bike’s handling, shifting and braking. Our 3-panel design tailors the palm of the glove to better fit the contours and articulation of the hand, and optimizes the location of padding, material and seams to enhance your comfort, grip and control of the bike.

HOW DO GIRO GLOVES FIT? Giro gloves are based on our proprietary Super Fit™ Engineering process that combines research data on human anatomy with hand-crafted refinements and a “tailored” construction. The result is a snug, near-custom feel with the support of modern materials that improve comfort and control on the bike. We offer gloves in a full range of up to 6 unisex sizes, 3 women’s sizes, and sizes for kids under 12, so that almost any rider can find a glove that fits and feels like a part of them.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN’S AND WOMEN’S HANDS? Women’s hands typically have a smaller palm girth and width, smaller wrist diameter and narrower fingers when compared to men’s hands.

HOW TO GET THE CORRECT GLOVE SIZE. Giro Gloves are available in unisex and women’s sizes that are tailored to the needs of cyclists. To determine your glove size, wrap a measuring tape around your dominant hand, just below your knuckles (excluding your thumb), and make a fist. This measurement is your “hand width” glove size. Since every hand is unique, use the chart below as a guide, but allow for some variance based on how the glove fits!

72

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEATHER AND SYNTHETIC GLOVES? Giro makes gloves in many configurations including classic all-leather designs, modern synthetic / natural hybrids and all-synthetic designs. Each glove is designed as a system to provide the best fit, comfort and performance for riding.

- Natural leathers provide a very supple feel and aesthetic, with the ability to break-in and form to the rider’s body. With proper care, they can also be durable enough to last several seasons.

- Synthetic gloves provide a supple feel and modern aesthetic, with the ability to breathe, stretch and conform to the rider’s body across a wide range of conditions. They are very durable, and require less attentive care than natural leathers.

- Hybrid designs, with a natural leather palm and synthetic upper, combine the best attributes of both materials. They are light, supple and breathable, with the ability to break-in and conform to the body.

- Winter gloves generally use synthetic materials to resist the elements and harsh conditions of winter riding, while insulating the body from cold and wet. We use modern insulating materials, including synthetic insulation and wool-blend removable liners where appropriate, to provide the best comfort and performance possible.

Also note that some Giro glove models have a slightly more “snug” fit when new, so you may need to size up from the size you usually wear or allow them some time to “break-in” for a perfect fit.

DO ALL GIRO GLOVES FIT THE SAME? Since our full glove line covers so many different needs and conditions, we may make adjustments to some patterns in order to create the best glove possible for each type of use or conditions. While we strive for the most consistent feel possible, this means that certain gloves may feel different than others.

For instance, leather gloves will stretch and “break-in” with time and use, so they may feel snug when new compared to similar synthetic glove designs. Also, winter gloves are designed to have a little more interior volume in order to trap heat, so they may feel roomier than a comparable mountain bike or long-finger road glove.

HOW SHOULD I CLEAN GLOVES? Cleaning Synthetic Gloves For best results, clean the gloves using lukewarm water and a mild liquid soap or cleaner, and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight.

When almost dry, you can put the gloves on to give them shape.

Cleaning Leather / Leather Palm Gloves For gloves with leather, extra care will help to extend the life of the glove, and a good leather conditioner can help to keep the leather supple since washing can damage it.

STEP1: Use lukewarm water and mild soap to gently wash the glove (you can wear the glove while washing to help maintain the glove’s shape) STEP 2: Gently pat dry with a towel to remove excess water STEP 3: You can put the gloves on to give them shape, and then gently remove them. Make sure they are laid flat.

STEP 4: Hang to air dry away from heat or direct sunlight STEP 5: When almost dry, you can put the gloves on to give them shape. You can also gently rub a good leather conditioner into the leather to help keep it supple Note: Never dry clean, bleach or tumble dry!

PROPERLY STORING GLOVES After each use remove the gloves carefully, lay them flat, and allow the gloves to air dry in an open area. Then store in a cool, dry place.

Note: We strongly discourage leaving used gloves in damp, enclosed spaces (like the bottom of a gear bag) since that can inhibit proper drying and cause the leathers or other materials to become stiff or brittle.

2015 GIRO CYCLING SHOES

2015 CYCLING SHOE ICON KEY

PRECISION FIT Giro footwear is built on proprietary cycling-specific lasts to create a fit that hugs the foot closely without binding, crowding or discomfort.

Our lasts are hand-crafted specifically for cycling footwear in whole and half-sizes that are differentiated between men’s and women’s shoes, in order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible in a production shoe.

HIGH-VOLUME FIT Giro “HV” footwear is built on proprietary, cycling-specific lasts that are specially designed to create a fit that hugs wider or highervolume feet closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. In order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible, our HV lasts are hand-crafted in whole and half-sizes too, so you get the best fit possible in a production shoe. Giro HV fit is recommended for widths from D-EE, and is an option for feet with very high instep.

NEUTRAL PLATFORM The term Neutral Platform means that there is no tilt or permanent adjustment built-in to our shoes. By maintaining a neutral platform, riders who require wedges or other adjustments are free to choose from a variety of systems that best meet their needs over time, without having to compensate for unnecessary or improper adjustments that can compromise the fit or performance of their shoes, or cause stress to muscles or joints.

SUPERNATURAL FIT SYSTEM The Giro SuperNatural Fit System combines a cycling-specific footbed with an adjustable arch support kit. By simply choosing from any of the Low, Medium and High arch supports included in the kit, riders and fitters can independently adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing or eliminating common discomforts like hotspots, numbness and cramping. The system is available in men’s and women’s sizes, and incorporates X-Static® fibers in the footbed to fight odors and other bacteria.

CARBON FIBER We use carbon fiber and carbon composites in Giro footwear because they provide exceptional performance that can be tuned to maximize stiffness, tensile strength, weight and form. While many companies utilize this cutting-edge material, we have the added advantage of having Easton® engineering expertise to further enhance the capabilities of this wonder material, allowing us to create thinner, lighter and stronger components.

SONIC WELDED ARMOR Sonic welding is a process that uses sonic waves and pressure to fuse two elements together permanently. Utilizing this process to add a layer of armor to soft fabrics results in a more durable bond that is also cleaner and more accurate than traditional adhesives, and lighter too.

EASTON ® ENGINEERED OUTSOLE PLATES We worked closely with the engineering staff at Easton to develop proprietary outsoles that provide the most direct, powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Using advanced modeling and proprietary fixturing in our extensive test lab, every outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in 3 zones: Toe, Arch, and Heel, while maintaining the lowest possible weight and stack-height (as low as 6.5mm). Additionally, the flatter edges of our outsoles allow the shoe upper material to conform to larger or wider feet (what we call the “spillover” effect) without uncomfortable pinching or binding.

MR-1 BUCKLE The patent-pending MR-1 buckle is truly micro-adjustable in tension and release, allowing two-way adjustment in 2mm increments by simply pulling up to tighten the strap or depressing the lever to release it. It also features a quick macro-release for easy removal of the shoe. The design allows grit to be cleared easily for reliable function on- and off-road, and it has an exceptionally low stack height, reducing the likelihood of damage.

N-2 BUCKLE

N-2

The N-2 buckle is adjustable in 3mm increments to tension the strap, with a quick release by simply depressing the upper and lower levers simultaneously. The design allows grit to be cleared easily for reliable function on- and off-road, and it has a lower stack height than our previous buckle design. It offers two mounting positions and a guard that helps to prevent unwanted release of the buckle, and is compatible with our previous shoe designs should a rider need a replacement.

WOMEN’S SERIES The Women’s Series™ is a complete collection of fits, styles and prices that are uniquely tailored to female riders. Each Women’s Series shoe is available with a level of detail that is unique within the line, and also features specific sizing and patterning in order to support the lower volume and narrower heel of a woman’s foot. The one thing that isn’t different is the level of performance since we use the same top-quality materials and technologies found in our premium men’s shoes.

All together, we believe the Women’s Series offers a range of options that suit nearly any need, and with more compelling styles than competing brands.

EVO

FIBER

EVOFIBER™ Evofiber™ takes the best attributes of mesh and microfiber, and fuses them into a single fabric that repels water and improves breathability throughout the shoe. By eliminating the extra seams and adhesives required to insert mesh panels, the durability, comfort and weight of our shoes can all be dramatically improved. Evofiber™ also holds shape exceptionally well, and is fast drying and easy to clean.

DUPONT ® For more than 200 years, DuPont has brought world-class science and engineering to innovative products, materials and services. DuPont nylon, including Zytel™ nylon, is a versatile performance material that can be tuned to meet a wide range of performance needs. It’s tough, light and surprisingly resilient in a variety of conditions and environments, with excellent performance levels that are maintained much longer than traditional nylons.

AEGIS ® MICROBE SHIELD The Aegis Microbe Shield is an anti-microbial barrier that permanently bonded with the fabric. It uses the power of a tiny positive electrical charge to inhibit the presence of odor-causing microbes that can cause odor, discoloring or fading, so your shoes stay fresh and odor-free.

X-STATIC ® FIBERS X-Static fibers are made with layers of pure silver that are permanently bonded to the surface of the fabric. Silver offers natural anti-microbial performance that helps to reduce odor and regulate heat, so your feet stay fresh and comfortable, naturally.

PORON ® XRD™ Poron XRD is a soft, shock-absorbing material specifically engineered to absorb up to 90% of impact energy, without a loss of performance from repeated impacts. Using “intelligent molecules”, Poron® XRD™ remains supple and flexible until impacted, when the molecules lock together immediately to deflect and help absorb shock. Other benefits include “open cell, breathable” performance with antifungal properties, and no latex, PVCs, VOCs, or heavy metals.

VIBRAM ® Vibram is the world leader in high performance rubber soles, with technologically advanced compounds like HydraGrip, the stickiest moldable compound in the Vibram arsenal and developed specifically for flat pedal riding in dry and wet conditions; and MegaGrip, a high performance sticky compound with significantly more durability and only a minimal decrease in friction compared to HydraGrip. All Vibram soles are produced with three objectives: to guarantee the best performance, the maximum level of comfort and quality over time.

GIRO SHOES - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT GIRO SHOES? From our emphasis on fit comfort and adjustability, to the use of premium materials like Easton® carbon fiber and Vibram® rubber outsoles, to the range of colors and styles we offer; Giro™ stands apart in cycling footwear.

But the most important difference is our fit.

Fit is more than a set of numbers, it’s a feeling. That is why we believe in providing cycling shoes that combine a cycling-specific fit with a neutral platform (no varus or valgus adjustment built-in) and a range of sizes and styles that allow adjustments based on every rider’s individual needs.

HOW DO GIRO SHOES FIT COMPARED TO OTHER BRANDS? Giro cycling shoes are designed for a precise fit – one that is snug and supportive in the heel, mid-foot, and instep areas, with a little more volume in the forefoot and toe box for natural feel and comfort. We offer our shoes in a full range of sizes, including Women’s Fit and High Volume Fit (for wide feet and high insteps) and half-sizes in most models.

ARE GIRO SHOES HEAT-MOLDABLE? No. Every Giro shoe is made with a tailored upper that hugs the foot naturally and is supple enough to wrap to the contours of your foot for a supportive, precise fit without heating.

WILL GIRO SHOES WORK WITH CUSTOM ORTHOTICS? Every Giro shoe is made to accommodate a wide variety of footbeds, as well as internal and external wedge adjustments and some custom orthotics. That said, orthotics vary widely, and we cannot guarantee a good fit.

We recommend that you consult with your orthopedist or a fit expert to evaluate the fit and your best options.

WHAT IS THE SUPERNATURAL FIT SYSTEM?

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN’S FIT AND WOMEN’S FIT?

The SuperNatural Fit system combines a thin, cycling specific footbed with an adjustable arch support system. This system allows riders to custom-tune their arch support and fit right out of the box, without any tools or hassles. By properly supporting the arch, fit and comfort of cycling shoes is enhanced and common discomforts like hotspots, numbness and cramping are reduced or eliminated. Proper arch support can also improve pedaling power and efficiency on the bike.

Giro Women’s Fit shoes have a lower instep volume, a lower forefoot girth and a narrower heel than our men’s / unisex shoes.

WHY CHOOSE CYCLING-SPECIFIC FOOTBEDS WITH PROPER ARCH SUPPORT?

DOES GIRO OFFER SHOES FOR EXTRA WIDE FEET OR VERY HIGH INSTEPS?

Cycling is a unique activity. When you pedal a bicycle, your feet do not strike the ground; therefore your feet do not encounter the same forces and impacts as they do when you walk or run. Therefore, there is less need for cushioning and more emphasis on proper arch support to enhance comfort and pedaling efficiency.

Yes. We offer 6 models (Code™ HV, Terraduro™ HV, Privateer™ HV, Factor HV ACC, Trans™ HV and Apeckx™ HV) in our “HV” fit to accommodate riders with extra wide (up to EE width) feet, or very high instep heights.

WHAT ARE “VALGUS” (PRONATION) AND “VARUS” (SUPINATION)? HOW DO THEY AFFECT PEDALING COMFORT AND EFFICIENCY? Valgus is the tendency of the foot to lean inward at the ankle. Varus is the tendency of the foot to roll outward at the ankle.

Either of these tendencies can cause aches and pain in the forefoot and arch, and in some cases negatively affect a rider’s pedaling comfort and efficiency. All Giro footwear provides the capability for you to adjust or replace footbeds, and to work with a properly-trained fitter to make adjustments that will enhance your comfort and performance if needed.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT OUTSOLES? Easton EC90 SLX ACC is 100% unidirectional carbon with high modulus fibers. It is our lightest, highest level of performance and also features titanium cleat hardware inserts.

Easton EC90 ACC is made of 100% unidirectional carbon. It has pro-level stiffness similar to the EC90 SLX ACC outsole, but is slightly heavier.

Easton EC70 ACC carbon composite outsoles are a blend of carbon and fiberglass. They are light and stiff with performance and value that exceeds many carbon outsoles.

DuPont® Zytel™ outsoles are made of a special nylon composite that is stiffer and more durable that traditional nylon outsoles.

Our Zytel soles are not as stiff as our premium carbon or composite outsoles, but they offer class-leading performance with less weight.

Our basic nylon composite outsoles are made of a high-quality nylon composite that offers great performance and value, while taking advantage of the same carefully-engineered molds as our higher-end DuPont nylon soles.

Vibram® outsoles feature proprietary rubber compounds developed for exceptional grip and durability on a variety of surfaces

DOES GIRO OFFER A SPEEDPLAY™SPECIFIC OUTSOLE DRILLING? No, but Speedplay’s adapters are compatible with Giro shoes.

DOES GIRO OFFER REPLACEMENT LUGS OR WALKING PADS FOR THEIR SHOES? Yes, some models feature replaceable lugs for 2015 including: Empire™SLX, Prolight™ SLXII, Factor™ ACC, Empire™ ACC, Trans E70, Republic™, Civila™, Territory™, Reveille™, Factress ACC™, Espada E70™.

DOES GIRO OFFER REPLACEMENT TOE SPIKES? Yes. All Giro shoe models that are toe-spike compatible use the same toe spike.
