GIRO Spur MIPS junior winter helmet, matte black, size S (52–55.5 cm)

The GIRO Spur MIPS junior winter helmet in matte black (size S, 52–55.5 cm) is a youth-focused protective helmet engineered for cold-weather riding and snow sports. It combines a winter-appropriate shell and insulated liner with MIPS rotational impact protection to address both warmth and impact safety. The design fits children and teens who need a compact, well-ventilated helmet for skiing, snowboarding and other winter activities, offering adjustable fit and features suitable for layered clothing and helmets used with goggles.

Advantages

This helmet integrates rotational protection with a dedicated winter liner to reduce risk from angled impacts while preserving thermal comfort in low temperatures. The matte black finish provides a low-reflective surface and neutral appearance. Size S (52–55.5 cm) is tailored for growing heads, and the helmet’s construction balances weight, insulation and impact performance to suit active youth.

Suitable for

• Junior alpine and freestyle skiing
• Snowboarding and snow park activities
• Winter multi-sport use (sledging, tubing, on-slope play)
• Children and teenagers requiring a secure, insulated helmet with rotational protection

When it may not be suitable

This model is designed specifically for winter sports and cold-weather conditions; it may be warmer and less ventilated than helmets intended for high-intensity summer cycling. It is sized for small heads (52–55.5 cm) and therefore not appropriate for older teens or adults requiring larger sizes.

Key specifications

• Intended user: children and teenagers
• Size range: 52–55.5 cm (S)
• Protective system: rotational impact mitigation (MIPS technology)
• Shell type: winter-focused outer shell designed for insulation and impact resistance
• Liner: insulated winter liner for cold-weather comfort
• Finish: matte black
• Adjustment: user-adjustable fit system for secure positioning

How to use

Place the helmet squarely on the head so it sits level and covers the forehead without tilting back. Use the adjustment system to achieve a snug, stable fit without excessive pressure. Fasten the chin strap and adjust until the helmet is secure; straps should form a V under each ear and allow comfortable jaw movement. Wear compatible goggles over or under the helmet’s brim as intended, and ensure the insulated liner is positioned to maximize warmth. Inspect the helmet for visible damage before each use and replace it after any significant impact.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure head circumference to confirm 52–55.5 cm fits comfortably with seasonal headwear.
• Evaluate ventilation needs versus insulation for expected temperatures and activity intensity.
• Confirm compatibility with preferred goggles and any audio or communication accessories.

Usage recommendations

Use the helmet for downhill skiing, snowboarding and general winter play where impact protection and thermal comfort are priorities. Keep the liner dry between uses, avoid chemical cleaners on the shell, and follow manufacturer guidance for service life and replacement after impacts.
