Winter helmet GIRO LEDGE FS MIPS — size M (55.5–59 cm), matte red, New 2025/2026

GIRO LEDGE FS MIPS — size M (55.5–59 cm) in matte red is a winter protective helmet designed for snow sports and cold-weather cycling. The helmet integrates a multi-impact shell with MIPS rotational energy mitigation to reduce rotational forces during angled impacts. It offers an adjustable fit system, winter-optimized ventilation, and compatibility with goggles and common winter accessories, making it suitable for downhill, freeride and on-piste riding where both impact protection and low-temperature comfort are required.

Advantages

The helmet combines MIPS technology with a form-fitting shell to manage both linear and rotational impacts while maintaining a low-profile silhouette. An adjustable retention system ensures a secure fit across the 55.5–59 cm range, and the matte red finish provides a neutral, low-glare appearance. Ventilation is tuned for cold conditions to prevent overheating without sacrificing warmth, and the design supports helmet-to-goggle integration and accessory compatibility for winter use.

Suitable for

• Alpine and resort skiing where impact protection and goggle compatibility are needed
• Snowboarding including freeride and park riding with a need for rotational protection
• Cold-weather cycling or snow biking on trails and groomed runs
• Multiday winter trips where adjustable fit and layered headgear compatibility matter

When it may not be suitable

This helmet is optimized for winter sports and cold-weather riding; it may not be ideal for warm-weather cycling or summer use due to its ventilation tuning and thermal properties. Users who require full-face impact protection for high-speed downhill competitions should consider a dedicated full-face helmet instead.

Key specifications

• Fit range: medium (55.5–59 cm)
• Shell finish: matte red
• Impact mitigation: MIPS rotational technology integrated
• Retention: adjustable fit system for precise sizing
• Ventilation: winter-tuned vents to balance warmth and airflow
• Compatibility: designed to work with goggles and winter accessories

How to use

Place the helmet squarely on the head so it sits level and covers the forehead, then tighten the adjustable retention system until the helmet feels secure but comfortable. Adjust the chin strap and side buckles to form a V around each ear and fasten the buckle. Use compatible goggles with the helmet’s goggle channel and ensure the goggles sit flush with the helmet to minimize gaps. In very cold conditions, use thin liner hats or helmet-compatible ear pads as needed; avoid bulky headwear that undermines the fit system.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure head circumference to confirm the 55.5–59 cm medium fit range
• Decide whether a winter-tuned helmet suits your typical riding temperatures and activity level
• Check goggle compatibility if you use oversized frames or prescription inserts
• Consider whether you need full-face protection for your intended discipline

Usage recommendations

Inspect the helmet for visible damage after any significant impact and replace it if compromised. Clean the shell and liners according to manufacturer guidance, avoid strong solvents, and store the helmet away from prolonged sunlight and heat to preserve materials and finish.
