Why We Like The Aether MIPS Helmet
The Aether MIPS is Giro's range-topping road helmet, offering a professional-level fit and finish along with superb ventilation and advanced safety features. The standout feature is the MIPS Spherical protection system—an updated version of MIPS that's exclusive to Giro and Bell. Spherical MIPS places the slip-plane technology in between the layers of EPS foam, rather than against the rider's head. This gives us the protective benefits of MIPS without any sacrifice to comfort or cooling power.

Had this helmet for the better part of the summer... until I crashed and dented and cracked the shell. Spoiler alert it did its job. Though it’s not the lightest helmet I have owned the safety features out perform anything. The spherical mips is no joke. I used this helmet cross county mountain biking, gravel, and road. I would highly recommend this helmet even though it’s pricey. My head is 60cm around and I bought a large.

Helmet Sizing
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
This helmet runs smaller than described. I have owned many helmets over my 25 years of riding. I measured as usual and it was very uncomfortable without the rear lock even tightened. I would recommend going a size up if you purchase. Hopefully it will be more comfortable for you. :)

Great helmet

I recently bought this for my wife. We ride around 50-60 miles a week and she hadn't updated her helmet in years so we felt like we could splurge on a new one. We are both fans of the MIPS system. She loves the matte blue color and it is pretty rad! Her feedback: light, good ventilation, very wide in appearance but comfortable adjustment system. She has a smaller head and could have purchased the Small but went with the Medium and was happy with her choice.

Perfect Helmet

I got Matt Black Flash. Super cool. I have had multiple Giro helmets in the in the past. Love them all. This one is the most expensive but I think it is worth it. Newest helmet technology, MIPS, airflow is superb. My last Giro was Synth - the fit, weight and ventilation are great but this model is a noticeable improvement from Synth.
