## Overview

The Giro Switchblade MIPS is a premium adult cycling helmet engineered for downhill riders who demand top-tier protection and adaptability. Featuring ASTM-1952 DH certification with or without its removable chinbar, it combines rugged polycarbonate construction with advanced MIPS technology to reduce impact forces. The Roc Loc Air DH fit system enhances ventilation and fit security, while the quick-release chinbar offers seamless transition between full-face and open-face modes. Designed for serious riders who refuse to compromise on safety or style.

## Description

EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SWITCHBLADE IS OPTIMIZED FOR THE DESCENT. THAT'S WHY IN ADDITION TO MANDATORY STANDARDS IT'S ALSO CERTIFIED TO ASTM-1952 DH WITH AND WITHOUT THE CHINBAR. The chinbar is easy to remove - just push the buttons under the chinbar, rotate up, and take off - and it's just as easy to reinstall. Another boast-worthy feature on the Switchblade MIPS is the Roc Loc Air DH fit system, which has a bumper around the dial to prevent accidental adjustments if your helmet contacts your backpack or neck brace - all while keeping you cool. When the chinbar comes off, Wind Tunnel cheek pad ventilation adds even more cooling power as you start to climb. Plus, the full-cut style gives this helmet an aggressive look and provides ASTM certified coverage even when the chinbar is removed. When your ride is all about descending, your helmet should be too, and the Switchblade MIPS is the only removable chinbar helmet that is truly built for the down.

Review: Great BASE Jumping Helmet - actual protection, not just a pretty camera mount - Like everything I've purchased from Giro, this product is totally overpriced for what it is, but a well designed and super sturdy helmet, with a great internal fastening system (I have two mips helmets, one for air and another for land). Used mine for a summer of BASE jumping - it's perfect for those smart enough to want a real helmet with a full face system (most skydive/base helmets are just expensive camera mounts...). Remember, you can't save yourself after a cliff or building strike if the hit knocks you the f*&# out!! Also, full face makes sense when you realize insurance doesn't cover the $20k+ cost of dental implants to replace the teeth you just knocked out because maybe you reached a little too much at deployment and opened with a 180... (must have been the pack job) For those of us stupid enough to use it for base jumping, I recommend removing the visor as this can be a snag point. If you're jumping a building drunk, at 3am after dancing salsa for several hours on a Friday night, the sun isn't much of an issue anyway. However, the visor is the most natural camera mount, so if you want to share your idiocy with hordes of online admirers, the alternative is to mount a camera on the top of the helmet with a 3M sticky pad, which you can literally rip off in a half second if snagged. There is no quick release system like with a SD helmet, but that's not so important for the low stuff, now is it... Also, this will not be as rugged as other helmets with a plastic or fiberglass cover, so keep it on the top of your stash bag and try not to bash it along rocks, trees, or security guards along the climb to your desired exit point.
Review: Feels comfortable, cool, and impact-proof! - I got this helmet because I had a massive concussion road biking, and I can’t afford another one.It took a little practice to get on with the mouthguard, but once you’re in, it’s like being in the cockpit of an airplane.—solid and impervious. I hope to never be able to report how it performs upon impact, but it already feels 10 times safer than my standard bike helmet, which they brought to the ER When I woke up, broken in seven places with blood all over it! I can’t imagine what it would take to break this thing, and I love the MIPs technology, which diffuses angular momentum by sliding inside the helmet (In effect, you have a helmet inside a helmet.) I was afraid it would be too warm, but there is plenty of ventilation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Helmet Love it a lot. But be aware!
*by M***O on June 24, 2022*

I really love this helmet it’s true to size comfortable easy to adjust, It is everything that you could look for in a solid full face. My only issue is quality from manufacturing. My helmet arrived with some minor scratches and manufacturing glue seeping out of the edges obviously these aren’t super noticeable but to me right out of the box looking up close it annoyed me. This quality is likely the same for all helmets but it’s so minor only you would notice and you can clean some of the glue up with an X-Acto knife and isopropyl alcohol. It’s honestly a very good helmet for the price but the little imperfections were unexpected and off putting. At the end of the day it’s comfy and protects your brain, that’s all you need
