Giro Neo MIPS Asian Fit Ski Helmet for Men, Women & Youth - Ventilated

In this review of the Giro Neo MIPS Asian Fit Ski Helmet we look at who will get the most from its combination of low weight, adjustable ventilation and a tuned fit system. The bottom line: this helmet is for skiers and snowboarders who need a comfortable, secure fit for narrower head shapes and want the added safety of MIPS without extra bulk. Its I.M. Construction keeps the shell light while the In Form Fit System and Vertical Tuning make on-the-fly adjustments quick and reliable.

Key Features

• I.M. Construction: The fused polycarbonate outer shell and impact-absorbing liner deliver a lighter helmet that breathes better than traditional designs, so it stays comfortable on long days.
• MIPS: Multi-Directional Impact Protection System adds a low-profile slip layer intended to reduce rotational forces in angled impacts for improved safety.
• In Form Fit System: An ergo-friendly dial allows up to 6cm of adjustment for a custom, stable fit even while wearing gloves.
• Thermostat Control Venting: Adjustable vents let you instantly fine tune airflow to move from hot to cold conditions without removing gloves or stopping.
• Stack Vent and Goggle Compatibility: Front Stack Vent aligns with goggles to help reduce fogging and the helmet is engineered for seamless pairing with Giro Balance and Scan goggles.
• Asian Fit: The helmet profile is shaped to better suit Asian head shapes, improving fit and reducing pressure points for many wearers.

Who It's For

The Neo MIPS Asian Fit is best for men, women and youth who need a helmet that balances protection and comfort for all-mountain skiing and snowboarding. Riders who prefer a lighter shell and who value an adjustable ventilation system will appreciate its practical on-the-go controls.

This is also a good pick for people who wear Giro goggles, since the helmet is tested for seamless compatibility and helps reduce gaper gap with Vertical Tuning. Those who need an extremely minimalist race shell or a full-face snowboard park helmet should look elsewhere.
