GIRO Tenet MIPS women's winter helmet — size S (52–55.5 cm), matte stone pearl, MIPS protection

The GIRO Tenet MIPS women's winter helmet in size S (52–55.5 cm) combines a low-profile shell and integrated MIPS rotational protection to reduce rotational forces in certain impacts. Finished in matte stone pearl, the helmet is designed for snow sports and cold-weather cycling where fit, impact attenuation and goggle compatibility are important. It features an adjustable fit system and ventilation tuned for winter use to help manage comfort during active days on the slopes or in the city.

Advantages

The Tenet MIPS provides a secure, adjustable fit in a compact winter-specific shape, with MIPS technology intended to mitigate rotational energy during angled impacts. Its matte stone pearl finish offers a neutral aesthetic, while the construction balances warmth and breathability through controlled ventilation and internal insulation. Compatibility with most snow goggles and a women-specific fit profile help ensure consistent positioning and wearer comfort.

Suitable for

• Recreational alpine skiing and snowboarding
• Resort and off-piste winter riding at moderate speeds
• Urban cycling and commuting in cold weather
• Multi-day winter activities where a reliable, easily adjustable helmet is needed

When it may not be suitable

This helmet is optimized for recreational snow sports and cold-weather cycling rather than high-impact professional disciplines such as competitive downhill mountain biking or ski racing where specialized race helmets are used. Users requiring a larger size range, extreme ventilation for summer use, or integrated communication systems should consider alternative models tailored to those needs.

Key specifications

• Size: S, fits head circumference approximately 52–55.5 cm
• Protection: rotational impact mitigation layer integrated
• Shell: low-profile winter shell designed for snow sports
• Ventilation: controlled vents optimized for cold conditions
• Fit system: adjustable retention for a secure, personalized fit
• Goggle compatibility: forehead and visor interface designed to work with most snow goggles
• Finish: matte stone pearl

How to use

Place the helmet level on the head so the front edge sits just above the brow. Adjust the retention system at the rear until the helmet feels snug but comfortable, then fasten and adjust the chin strap so it sits close under the chin with room for one to two fingers. Verify goggle fit by seating the goggles against the helmet’s goggle interface and check that the helmet does not push the goggles away from the face. For winter use, wear appropriate base layers and consider adding a thin balaclava or liner if additional insulation is needed; ensure the helmet still fits correctly with any extra layers.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure head circumference accurately to confirm a 52–55.5 cm fit range
• Decide whether rotational protection is a required feature for your activities
• Consider compatibility with your preferred goggles and winter accessories
• Assess whether the women-specific fit and small size meet your comfort preferences

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the helmet for signs of damage after any significant impact, avoid dropping or exposing it to solvents, and replace the helmet according to the manufacturer's lifespan guidelines or after a crash. Clean with mild soap and water and store in a dry place away from direct heat when not in use.
