The Switchblade MIPS is Giro's new ASTM Downhill certified full face helmet with a removable chin strap. Everything around this helmet is optimized for downhill, and that's why it's CPSC, EN-1078 and ASTM-1952-DH certified, with and without chinstrap. The chin strap is easy to remove. Press the buttons under the chin strap and lift it upwards. The installation of the chin strap is also child's play.

The Switchblade MIPS has the new Roc Loc Air DH Fit System, which is designed so that it does not accidentally move when it comes into contact with the backpack or neck brace. When the chin strap is removed, the built-in ventilation openings behind the cheek pads help keep a cool head on the way up to the next stage. The full-cut style gives this helmet an aggressive look and offers ASTM certification even when the chin strap is removed.

MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System)
MIPS is a sliding plane system inside the helmet that was developed to slow down or prevent the amount of energy transmitted to or from the head.

Roc Loc Air Fit System
The revolutionary Roc Loc Air Fit System has the same excellent characteristics as the Roc Loc 5, in addition it increases the airflow and ventilation inside the helmet in an impressive way. The unique design creates a small air cushion between the helmet shell and the head so that the airflow can flow and cool undisturbed without sacrificing fit and comfort. A new level of fit, comfort and ventilation that only Giro can offer.

In-Mold Construction
With the In-Mold construction, the robust polycarbonate outer shell is bonded to the impact-absorbing EPS inner shell in a single operation during the foaming process. This makes the helmet even more resistant without additional weight. This production process also makes it possible to form much better ventilation systems and openings. Compared to traditional helmets, In-Mold helmets are therefore lighter and have significantly better ventilation systems.

P.O.V Plus
Giro‘s P.O.V. Plus visor has an adjustment mechanism with which the visor can be adjusted in 3 steps up and down. In addition, the visor can be pushed up so far that, for example during a break, the goggle can be pushed onto the helmet. The adjustment can be done easily with one hand and during the ride.

THE HARD CHARGER!

In addition to the protection offered by MIPS Spherical, the Super DH is loaded with features; including a 360-degree wraparound, tool-free removable chin bar beefy enough to satisfy the rigors of ASTM 1952 testing, huge eyeglass- and goggle-friendly eye-port, adjustable-height visor, snap-in camera mount, Overbrow Ventilation and X-Static padding, and a quality fit that is second to none. The end result is uncompromising protection and performance, and unparalleled versatility. The Super DH is ready to take World Cup DH runs on the chin, bang out bike park laps until the chairlifts stop running, or settle into hours of backcountry uphill grinding in search of that perfect ribbon of high-consequence singletrack.

FEATURES

MIPS Spherical enhances our ability to address high-speed and low-speed impacts, as well as rotational impacts. Think of it as “comprehensive protection,” with the added bonus that we can design better helmet ventilation, too.
Fusion In-Mold polycarbonate shell - A process pioneered by Bell bonds the helmet's outer shell to the EPS foam liner to create a sturdier helmet.
Progressive Layering utilizing two layers of foam: a hard layer against the outer shell closer to the point of potential impact, and a less dense layer closer to the head. Each layer has a thin hard shell molded into it.
Float Fit DH with Fidlock Buckle - A comfortable and secure fit system featuring an easy-to-turn rubber overmolded dial for adjustments
Overbrow Ventilation features intake ports on the brow of the helmet to usher in cool air and push it through the air-channel matrix for full-head ventilation
19 helmet vents, 2 brow ports, 4 chin bar vents
Wraparound chin bar: a removable protective chin bar, designed for trail riding adapability -- no tools required. Warning: All chin bars have limits, and serious injury or death can occur. Read owner's manual carefully before using your helmet.
GoggleGuide adjustable visor: accommodates both goggles and glasses
Integrated breakaway camera mount requiring no zip ties or tape, designed to "break away" upon impact to reduce the risk of injury
CE EN1078, ASTM F1952-00 (Downhill), ASTM F2032-06 (BMX) certified
