Built with all-mountain exploration in mind, the Union uses in-mould construction to make it lightweight and a fully adjustable venting system to control the airflow for varying weather conditions. Giro’s category-leading In Form fit system allows for a more precise and comfortable fit and MIPS reduces the effects of rotational forces from an oblique blow.
Venting: Active Sizing System: Adjustable Weight: 475g Construction: In-Mould Safety standard: EN 1077 Class B
Additional Safety MIPS can provide more protection in certain impacts. The main components of a MIPS equipped helmet are 1. The Interior Foam Liner, 2. the Low Friction Liner and 3. an elastomeric attachment system. In an angled impact, the elastomeric attachment system stretches to allow the foam liner to rotate independently around your head.
Venting Thermostat Control adjustable venting allows you to custom tune airflow instantly with a simple, low profile button on the outside of the helmet.
Stack Venting was developed based on research showing the majority of the warm air that can cause fogging exhausts from the centre top vent of the goggle. Aligning the Stack Vent in the helmet with the vent of your goggles helps to keep them clear and fog-free.
Sizing System The In Form system makes it easy to dial in a custom fit in seconds, even with gloves on. An ergo-friendly dial at the base of the helmet provides up to 6cm of adjustment and enhanced stability. The Vertical Tuning feature accommodates different goggles and head shapes for a custom fit free of gaper gap.
Construction In-mould construction fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet's impact-absorbing foam liner. The fusion process allows for better ventilation systems, making in-mould helmets lighter and cooler than traditional helmets.
Features
Polartec Power Grid liner features a patented grid design structure that reduces fabric weight while increasing warmth and compressibility. This grid construction enhances both wicking efficiency and breathability by generating channels of targeted touchpoints that absorb and diffuse moisture vapour for faster evaporation.
Ear pads are compatible with Outdoor Tech aftermarket headphones.

MIPS HELMET TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) MIPS is not a construction as such but a safety feature integrated into the build. MIPS reduces rotational forces on the brain caused by angled impacts to the head. In a MIPS helmet the shell and the liner are separated by a low friction layer. When subjected to an angled impact, the low friction layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head, absorbing much of the energy.
