Giro Merit Spherical – MTB Helmet

The Merit™ Spherical is a high-performance trail riding helmet built around the ball-and-socket design of Spherical Technology™ to provide amazing ventilation, deep coverage and luxurious comfort. Helmets with Spherical Technology offer more comprehensive performance and protection with the combination of a Mips® brain protection system to redirect rotational impact energy.

The power of cool: the Merit™ Spherical from Giro

Progressive inner and outer shell with different EPS foam densities also contribute to comprehensive protection. Wind tunnel vents combine with deep air channels in EPS helmet shell to create amazing airflow through the helmet to keep heat out even on long, strenuous rides. Fit and secure fit can be adjusted quickly and easily with the Roc Loc® Trail Air adjustment system. The soft Ionic+™ padding provides exceptional sweat absorption and has an antimicrobial effect. With all these features, it is the ideal choice for the demanding mountain biker, with or without electric assistance.

Technologies

Spherical MIPS^® Technology
MIPS^® equipped helmets reduce rotational force. Spherical MIPS^® is a pair of foam layers that work like a ball and socket to redirect impact energy in a crash. The system uses two distinct layers of foam within the helmet, rather than a single layer of foam and plastic liner. One layer is EPS, which is well suited to high-speed crashes. The other is a lower-density EPP foam with rebound characteristics — together they are Spherical MIPS^® Premium Protection!

Roc Loc Air
The revolutionary Roc Loc^® Air Fit System has the same outstanding features as the Roc Loc^® 5, but in addition to that, it dramatically increases airflow and ventilation inside the helmet. The unique design creates a small air cushion between the helmet shell and the head, so that the wind can flow and cool without disturbing the ride without sacrificing fit and comfort. A new level of fit, comfort and ventilation that can only come from Giro.

In-Mold Construction
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.

Wind Tunnel Ventilation
Giro’s helmets are developed utilizing their 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.
