Giro Eclipse Spherical MIPS Road Cycling Helmet in Black

The Giro Eclipse Spherical is a high-performance road cycling helmet designed to integrate aerodynamics, cooling, and advanced safety technologies into a single, lightweight package. Primarily intended for road and gravel racing, it represents a significant development in helmet design by aiming to reduce drag without compromising on ventilation or protection. Its sleek outer shell utilises Transform Air Technology to streamline airflow across multiple wind angles, making it efficient for both sustained efforts and head-down sprinting positions. Key features include the Spherical Technology system, which incorporates a MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) brain protection layer. This ball-and-socket design allows the outer EPS foam liner to rotate around the inner liner during an oblique impact, helping to redirect rotational forces away from the brain. For cooling, 14 Wind Tunnel vents work in conjunction with deep internal channelling to actively pull air through the helmet, rivalling the performance of more aggressively vented models. The fit is managed by the Roc Loc 5.5 Air system, which suspends the helmet slightly off the skull to enhance airflow and allows for one-handed micro-adjustments of tension and tilt. Additional practical elements include Progressive Layering dual-density foam for comprehensive impact management, antimicrobial Ionic+ padding for moisture management and odour control, and reflective decals for low-light visibility. This helmet is best suited for serious road cyclists, triathletes, and gravel riders who prioritise a blend of aerodynamic efficiency, superior cooling, and top-tier safety certification. Its compact, light form factor makes it comfortable for long training sessions and competitive events. The unisex design and adjustable fit system cater to a wide range of head shapes, while the integrated technologies address the core needs of performance-oriented cyclists: going faster, staying cooler, and being well-protected.
