Giro Foray Mips Road Helmet

Product Information

While it lacks some fancier higher-end features, it certainly includes all the essentials and performs well across the board. While some added features on other models are nice luxuries to have, those who just want the essentials in a light and comfortable package will appreciate the savings. I have to say that this was NOT the case on every ride and despite the pads being thin, they do not compromise the comfort of the Giro Foray.

Tipping my head forward to look down just made this worse as the sweat seemed to run out of the front exhaust channel. Utilising the MIPS® (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System), the Giro Foray MIPS Helmet features the Roc Loc 5 System with a two way adjustable fit. The chinstrap system on this model is also fed through a slot at the rear of the helmet, rather than being permanently affixed to the helmet, which allows for easy side to side adjustment and centering of the chin strap buckle.My grandfather’s big nose, for example, skipped a generation and made my own face its next home, sparing my mother a lifetime of ‘keep your big nose out of it’ jibes.

The micro-adjust dial works as a ratchet system and draws the restraint system in, allowing you to have a secure and near perfect fit. Our testers find the Foray MIPS to be a comfortable helmet with adequate padding and easy adjustability for an optimum fit. Helmets that have full circumference headband systems all find themselves at the top of our comfort rankings.The above does not apply to bikes, which we have to assemble and inspect before repacking for dispatch. This wasn't a deal-breaker for our testers, but for riders with head shapes and sizes that don't perfectly align with the shape of the helmet liner, this could lead to an awkward fit or uncomfortable pressure points. 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 riders head while forcing heat and stale air out. The Foray MIPS also has the same adjustable Y-buckles as on Giro's higher-end helmets which makes dialing in the right fit and tension a breeze. The Foray MIPS comes with the same type of chinstraps and adjustable Y-buckles as Giro's more expensive top-tier helmets.
