Giro Switchblade™ MIPS 2017 | Full Face Helmets

The Switchblade™ MIPS is our new ASTM downhill-certified full-face helmet with a removable chinbar. Everything about the Switchblade is optimized for the descent, & that’s why it’s certified to CPSC, EN-1078 & ASTM-1952-DH with & without the chinbar. The chinbar is easy to remove—just push the buttons under the chinbar, rotate up, & remove—and it’s just as easy to reinstall. The Switchblade MIPS features the new Roc Loc® Air DH fit system, which has a bumper around the dial to prevent accidental adjustments if your helmet contacts your backpack or neck brace—all while keeping you cool. When the chinbar comes off, Wind Tunnel™ cheek pad ventilation adds even more cooling power as you start to climb. Plus, the full-cut style gives this helmet an aggressive look & provides ASTM-certified coverage even when the chinbar is removed. When your ride is all about descending, your helmet should be too, & the Switchblade MIPS is the only removable chinbar helmet that is truly built for the down.
