Giro CADEN II LED MIPS Bike Helmet

The CADEN II LED MIPS bike helmet by GIRO is designed for city rides, making it a must-have for all commuters and city cruisers! The lightweight yet robust IN-MOLD helmet shell, combined with the MIPS technology, provides outstanding impact protection. The seamlessly integrated TPU visor protects your eyes from direct sunlight and rain without sacrificing ventilation. Thanks to the ROC LOC CITY fitting system integrated into the MIPS system, you can adjust the helmet quickly and easily for a perfect fit. The larger rear vents are reinforced and allow you to secure the helmet with your bicycle lock.

IN-MOLD:
With the IN-MOLD construction, the robust polycarbonate outer shell is bonded to the impact-absorbing EPS inner shell in a single operation while it foams.
The liner is fused with the outer shell under high pressure and strong heat for a lasting connection. This makes the helmet even more resistant without adding weight. This production process also makes it possible to shape significantly better ventilation systems and vents. IN-MOLD helmets are therefore lighter than traditional helmets and have significantly better ventilation systems.

EPS liner:
All Giro helmets come with a liner shell made of EPS (expanded polystyrene). EPS is the most efficient material for absorbing shock and impact energies. EPS is extremely lightweight and maintains its properties in a wide temperature range.
The purpose of the inner EPS shell is to prevent or reduce a rider’s head injuries in the event of a fall. The shell absorbs the impact energy and is thereby itself compressed or even destroyed (comparable to an airbag in a car). This is why you should always replace a bike helmet with a new one after an impact.

WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane system within the helmet. It is designed to rotate inside the helmet and thus slow down or reduce the impact energy acting on the brain, which helps reduce head injuries caused by rotational impacts.
WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration may cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue caused by these motions may result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.

ROC LOC CITY:
The ROC LOC CITY system features a rubber dial for easy adjusting and large pads for ultimate comfort and stability. The fit system is made of a durable, flexible material made for long-term performance and daily use. A three-position height adjustment and a 6cm adjustment range allow for a perfect fit every day.

WIND TUNNEL:
A sophisticated ventilation system consisting of internal air channels and active vents allows cool, fresh air to circulate around the head while also allowing heat to escape. For great ventilation on exhausting rides.

SLIMLINE:
An extra-flat and yet more stable helmet closure that minimises pressure points.

SUPER FIT ENGINEERING:
Helmets from GIRO have to undergo countless measurements and test rides. They are then optimally shaped and cut based on the results of those tests. Thanks to the well-designed shape and range of sizes, the GIRO helmet fits nearly any head.
