Winter Helmet GIRO Owen Spherical MIPS — matte black/red, size M (55.5–59 cm)

The GIRO Owen Spherical MIPS — matte black/red, size M (55.5–59 cm) is a winter protective helmet engineered for alpine and recreational skiing and snowboarding. It combines a hard outer shell with Spherical technology and an integrated MIPS layer to address both linear and rotational impacts. The helmet’s fit system and size range (M) are designed to provide a secure, comfortable fit for head circumferences between 55.5 and 59 cm, while vents and internal padding balance warmth and airflow for typical cold-weather use.

Advantages

This helmet integrates Spherical technology together with a low-friction layer to reduce rotational forces transmitted to the head during oblique impacts. The matte black/red finish offers a discreet appearance with contrasting accents. The adjustable fit system and cushioned liner provide steady support and pressure distribution across the head. Materials and construction focus on impact management and skier/snowboarder-specific ergonomics to deliver a reliable protective option for winter sports.

Suitable for

• Alpine skiing and piste skiing for recreational and intermediate riders
• Snowboarding on slopes and park runs where protective headgear is recommended
• Resort and backcountry approach where a balance of warmth and protection is needed

When it may not be suitable

This helmet is intended for skiing and snowboarding; it is not designed for motorized sports, downhill bike racing, or industrial safety applications. Users requiring a very lightweight race-specific helmet or models certified for different impact standards should verify those specific requirements before choosing this helmet.

How to use

Place the helmet on the head so the front rim sits low on the forehead and adjust the retention system until the helmet feels snug but not overly tight. Fasten and adjust the chin strap to form a V under each ear and secure the buckle. Check that the helmet remains stable during head movement and that ear pads and goggles interface comfortably. After use, dry the liner and padding in a ventilated area and store the helmet away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve materials and fit.
