THE DISCORD

DESIGNED FOR DURABILITY 1

LOW DENSITY VN - Soft inner layer reacts to low-energy impacts and rebounds after each compression.

2 HIGH DENSITY VN - Firmer outer layer adds rigidity to stand up to more severe high-energy impacts.

3 FLEXIBLE OUTER SHELL - Made of a specially formulated proprietary plastic blend, the shell flexes with the VN liner rather than cracking like traditional ABS.

Giro innovative Soft Shell Construction helmets are designed to better manage low-energy, day-to-day impacts. This is achieved with Giro’s patent-pending, impact-absorbing liner made with dual density Vinyl Nitrile (VN) and proprietary flexible outer-shell material.

Employing two distinct types of VN foam in the liner, the helmet is able to manage both high-and low-energy impacts – delivering extraordinary comfort and durability that stands up to the punishment of progression and on-hill action. Giro Soft Shell Construction helmets are the exclusive choice of top freestyle riders and Giro global team athletes. Learn more at giro.com/SoftShell.

HELMET TECHNOLOGY KEY IN-MOLD CONSTRUCTION

HOW TO MEASURE & FIT A HELMET: THERMOSTAT CONTROL™

In-mold construction fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet’s impact-absorbing foam liner. The fusion process allows for better ventilation systems, making In-mold helmets lighter and cooler than traditional helmets.

Thermostat Control ventilation control allows you to custom tune airflow instantly with a simple, low profile control button on the outside of the helmet. No other system is faster or easier to adjust, and nothing is more effective at keeping you comfortable.

SOFTSHELL CONSTRUCTION Soft Shell Construction combines a patent-pending, impactabsorbing liner made with Vinyl Nitrile (VN) and a unique flexible proprietary outer shell material for a durable and comfortable fit. This combination results in a helmet versatile enough to manage both high and low energy impacts.

STACK VENT™

HARD SHELL

Hard Shell Construction produces great helmets at a great price. A rugged outer shell is molded and then attached to the EPS foam liner.

ROC LOC® 5 FIT SYSTEM

This groundbreaking fit system provides unmatched 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 almost 40% lighter than comparable systems too, making it the ultimate in skull-hugging luxury.

IN FORM™ FIT SYSTEM

The In Form system makes it easy to dial in a custom fit in seconds - even with gloves on. An ergo-friendly dial at the base of the helmet provides up to 6 cm of adjustment and enhanced stability while the vertical tuning feature accommodates different goggles and head shapes for a custom fit, free of gaper gap.

AUTO LOC™ 2 FIT SYSTEM

Auto Loc 2 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. A new vertical tuning feature helps dial in your fit and goggle set up.

FIT KIT™ PAD SYSTEM

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.

Our Stack Vent was developed based on research showing the majority of the warm air that can cause fogging exhausts from the center top vent of the goggle. Aligning the Stack Vent in the helmet with the vent of your goggles helps to keep them clear and fog free while maintaining total helmet and goggle integration.

Wrap a measuring tape around your head, locate the tape above your ears and keep the tape level front to back. Take the measurement and match it to our helmet sizing guide on giro.com or helmet packaging. *Note: this is only a size guide

Developed and perfected at the DOME, our R&D center in Santa Cruz, California, Giro’s groundbreaking Expansion View Technology (EXV) is a new frame design that creates an unparalleled field of view. We started with a helmetcompatible goggle design and then eliminated and tapered material from the frame and engineered frameless zones to optimize a massive spherical lens and yield maximum peripheral vision in our goggles.

LENS BY ZEISS

With over 150 years of experience, ZEISS is the authority in quality optics, and Giro continues to uphold the strictest standards in optical clarity through our partnership with ZEISS.

SPHERICAL LENS BY ZEISS

Spherical in shape, this lens mimics the form of the human eye to provide superior optics while creating increased air volume inside the goggle to help prevent fogging.
