Giro Ionos Cycling Helmet 2014

The Giro Ionos Helmet is the most ventilated and technologically advanced road cycling helmet Giro has ever created. The in-mold composite sub frame provides the strength to support 21 of the largest vents ever carved into a helmet. These massive vents – coupled with an intricate network of internal channels - create the Wind Tunnel ventilation cooling system. The difference is remarkable, making the Ionos the coolest, best-ventilated helmet available.

The use of composite in the sub-frame provides incredible structural support, impact dispersion and resistance to penetration, while the X-Static fabric pads are woven with pure silver fibres and kill 100% of bacteria.

Key Features:

Wind Tunnel Ventilation: Giro helmets are developed utilizing a proprietary Wind Tunnel ventilation system, which combines active vents with internal exhaust channels that thrust cool, fresh air over and around the riders head-while forcing heat and stale air out. This significant increase in air channeling makes a difference that riders will immediately feel and appreciate.

In-Mold: Giro's in-mold construction process fuses the helmet’s outer shell with its impact-absorbing EPS liner during the molding process, making the liner literally a part of the helmet. This fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, creating a one-piece ‘exoskeleton’ that allows the helmet to be lighter, more durable, and better ventilated than traditional designs.

Roll cage reinforcement is a tough web of DuPont Nylon molded inside a helmet’s EPS foam liner. It provides an extra measure of strength and integrity that you’ll never notice… unless you need it.

Super Fit Engineering for Bike Helmet: A great helmet is so comfortable that once it’s on, it virtually disappears. Our proprietary three-size Super Fit system is based on “human scale factors” data and over 20 years of crafting helmets for the best bike riders in the world.

The result is pure Skull Hugging Luxury, a helmet that fits 98% of the world’s population, yet looks (and fits) like it was custom made just for you.

Helmets that are sold on Probikekit.com are certified with a European CE EN1078 standard. This is a European standard and although the helmet is perfectly safe to use, specific countries may have their own certification which is legally required if you intend to wear the helmet recreationally or in a competitive racing environment. If you are unsure, please check your specific country requirements and check with the manufacturer to see if the helmet has received any additional certification.
