Giro Foray Mips Road Helmet

Product Information

With a Roc Loc 5 retention system at the rear, the Giro Foray is easy to adjust on the fly with a single hand. You also get height adjust offering an even better fit The occipital cradle of Scott's Halo Fit System has three heights and circumference adjustment is via a rotary dial. A clever separator keeps the straps far apart so they don't clash with your ears, all helping to make the Cadence Plus one of the best fitting and most secure helmets we've tried recently. The price for a top-flight lid with MIPS [Multi-directional Impact Protection System] additional protective technology is good. The MIPS system, or Multi- Directional Impact Protection System, employs a slim, flexible plastic cap that's perforated to match the helmet's vents, and four elastic fixings allow it to float within the inner EPS foam shell, creating a slip-plane, much like the brain's own, to slow or reduce rotational energy transfer. Kask Protone The Rivale's shape is more rounded than most aero helmets. The internal padding is minimal yet well placed, and the micro-adjust dial offers plenty of tensioning to keep it securely on your head. We especially loved the 4cm vertical adjustment in the retaining cradle, which enables you to situate it in just the right spot. A continuous pad across the forehead is suspended slightly away from the wavy EPS inside of the helmet, allowing for a little ventilation and some conformity to various head shapes. The removable, antimicrobial pads do their job well. In days of sweaty riding without washing in between, the helmet never smelled bad.

It may have been around for a long time, but the Specialized S-Works Prevail helmet still delivers on all fronts: styling, comfort and ventilation are all superb. It manages to look both chunky and supremely vented at the same time, with muscular shaping and aggressive vents. This lid's aero emphasis means ventilation is reduced to a single central vent, which is helped by internal channels that begin at the brow. In normal conditions it's very comfortable, with a constant flow of air across the head and no obvious hot spots, but it probably wouldn't be our first choice for a summer Alpine assault. The fit should suit most head shapes, with the Mindset rear cradle offering plenty of vertical adjustment and the dial allowing you plenty of adjustability around the circumference of your head. Specialized S-Works PrevailSuper-Fit - A great helmet is so comfortable that once it’s on, it virtually disappears. Giro’s proprietary three-size Super Fit system is based on “human scale factors” data and over 20 years of crafting helmets for the best bike riders in the world. The result is pure Skull Hugging Luxury, a helmet that fits 98% of the world’s population, yet looks (and fits) like it was custom made just for you. Our proprietary Super Fit™ sizing system is based on “human scale factors” data and over 25 years of handcrafting helmets. By creating helmet moulds 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. With its sweeping, almost conventional shape, and 22 sizeable vents, the Z Alpha looks very open for an aero helmet. The snap-on front cover is said to provide the biggest aero gains at over 40kph. It only hides the central four vents, but has a slot to channel some air through.

The shell contributes to its 325g weight, but provides extra protection from accidental damage, while inside the padding is made from Merino wool for super-soft comfort. It's superbly comfortable and secure, and despite the MIPS system touching much of your scalp, manages to stay cool. Two central internal channels, plus the gap between the MIPS cradle and EPS shell, ensure good air movement even with the cover installed.

The in-mould construction means that the polycarbonate outer shell is fused to the EPS core for strength, but it doesn't extend to the underside. Chain reaction Cycles and CRC are trading names of Wiggle Ltd (In Administration) registered in the United Kingdom at 1000 Lakeside, Suite 310, Third Floor N E Wing, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO6 3EN, Wind Tunnel Ventilation - Giro helmets are developed utilising their proprietary Wind Tunnel™ ventilation system, which combines active vents with internal exhaust channels that thrust cool, fresh air over and around the rider’s head while forcing heat and stale air out. This significant increase in air channelling makes a difference that riders will immediately feel and appreciate. The 29 vents offer plenty of places not only for the air to come in, but also to store your sunglasses.

The Foray drafts off the bold design language of our premium Synthe helmet, and offers many of our key features including durable in-mould construction and the Roc Loc 5 fit system with two-way fit adjustment. The slim design is very light, offers great ventilation and is available in three Super Fit sizes so that you can get a helmet that looks, fits and feels like it was made for you. MIPS models are available with the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System. We believe MIPS can redirect energy and offer more protection in certain impacts. Its MIPS system adds to the cost, but for that you are also getting great reassurance, and along with the super-adjustable Roc Loc 5 cradle is an excellent fit. Four internal pads keep things comfortable and five pronounced internal channels ventilate the majority of the head very well at all speeds, making this model an attractive, safe and great-value choice. Specialized's rear Mindset adjusting cradle offers five height positions, well placed pads and a rotary dial. Older Specialized helmets used to be quite narrow, but now accommodate rounder heads very well with no squeezing or pinching. The straps are fixed by clasps at each side, but are ideally positioned to let the pliable chinstrap do its job. Le Foray reprend les codes esthétiques de notre audacieux casque haut de gamme Synthe et offre de nombreuses fonctionnalités clés. Notamment avec la construction In-Mold durable et le système d'ajustement Roc Loc 5. Le design fin est très léger offre une excellente ventilation. Il est disponible en trois tailles parfaitement ajustées afin que vous puissiez obtenir un casque qui a de l'allure et vous va comme s’il avait été fabriqué sur-mesure. Les modèles Mips® sont disponibles avec le système de diffusion des forces exercées sur le casque en cas d’impact. Deep internal channels align with the large frontal vents to rush cooling air across your cranium, and the horizontal brow vents do a fine job of managing sweat and drying the front pad. It's very good for glasses storage when not wearing them too. Zero RH+ Z Alpha MIPS

The Giro logo and aero mesh covering the truncated tail's central port have gone too, and the only branding on the helmet is a single Rapha logo on the very top. Notably, the Velocis comes with a one-year crash replacement policy: if you crash it in the first year, you get a free replacement.The ARX Plus is particularly impressive at the front, where its large internal channels and a well-vented brow prevent the build up of sweat. Vertical adjustment may be limited to three press-studs offering 20mm of adjustability, but it proved perfectly adequate in practice. The small rear dial offers true micro-adjustment, which helps get a precise fit.
