Time trials and triathlons present a specific aerodynamic problem: you need a slippery helmet, but you also need to keep your head cool during sustained high-intensity efforts. Giro developed the Aerohead MIPS in the wind tunnel to address both demands, creating a helmet that has logged record-breaking times at the Tour de France and Ironman World Championships. The aerodynamically efficient profile cuts through the air while Wind Tunnel ventilation and internal channeling manage heat buildup when the pace is high.

The wrap-around eye shield sets the Aerohead apart from conventional aero helmets. Developed with Zeiss optics, the shield provides an unblocked field of view with optical clarity that matches dedicated eyewear. A magnetic anchor attachment keeps the shield secure during efforts but allows quick removal with one hand. You can also flip it up and store it on the helmet during transitions or when you need maximum airflow on climbs. For long-course triathletes moving through T1, this kind of quick adjustment matters.

Shell construction uses a two-piece design that pairs a tough outer hardshell with an In-Mold Hardbody polycarbonate lower section permanently fused to the EPS liner. This approach delivers durability without the weight penalty of a full hardshell construction. The Aerohead comes equipped with Integrated Mips technology, which combines the rotational protection system with Giro's Roc Loc 5 Air fit system to reduce rotational forces that can be transferred to the brain during certain angled impacts....
