Founded in 1985 in the United States, Giro is a helmet manufacturer from the United States, and among the helmets produced by Giro, the most famous are cycling helmets and snow helmets. His helmets are not only frequently used in international cycling events, but even Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France winner, wears a Giro helmet. In the evaluation of Consumer Reports in the United States, Giro's Register MIPS adult helmet received excellent ratings in many indicators such as crash energy absorption performance and ease of use, and finally finished with a total score of 85 points, beating most competitors and ranking second.
Most well-known manufacturers often do not pay enough attention to children's helmet products, and there are only a few children's helmet products on the market. Giro has done a great job here, not only in the field of adult helmets, but also in the field of children's helmets. The head circumference of the Giro children's helmet is generally 45-53cm, which can be well adapted to the head circumference range of 47-52cm for children aged 2-12 years.
With a total of nine children's sports helmets, the Giro offers the perfect protection for your little ones, whether they are cycling, roller skating or skiing. For parents who want to buy safety helmets for their children, they can choose from several helmet models such as SCAMP, RAZETM, DIME, TREMOR, and Hale, and their main differences are in the manufacturing process and ventilation design. Scamp and RAZETM use one-piece molding technology, while DIME, TREMOR, and HALE use non-one-piece molding technology. Although they all pass the European standard EN 1078 and can provide safety protection for children's bicycles, skateboards, and ice skating, from the appearance of the RAZETM, Tremor, Scamp, and Hale are more suitable for cycling, while the DIME is more suitable for roller skating or ice skating, and the price is between 30 and 60 US dollars.
One-piece molding and non-one-piece molding technology are just two different production processes of helmets, one-piece molding refers to putting the blistered PC shell and foam material into the molding machine to form the product at one time, so that the whole helmet is stamped and formed at one time, without any connection; Non-integral molding means that the foam is formed first, and then the blister PC or PVC blister shell is covered with foam, and finally glued on. Many consumers will think that one-piece helmets are safer than non-one-piece helmets, in fact, helmets that can pass national safety certification are safe, these two processes have their own advantages, generally speaking, one-piece helmets tend to be lighter; Helmets that are not monolithic are cheaper, but they are also heavier. Users can choose according to their actual situation.
In addition, the helmets also differ greatly in the number of vents. Generally speaking, the higher the number of vents, the better the ventilation, among them, the RAZETM has the largest number of vents, with a total of 22 vents, and the ventilation is the best, followed by TREMOR and Hale, with 18 vents each. The worst ventilated ones are SCAMP and DIME, which have only 8 vents. In the U.S. Consumer Reports, SCAMP received a Poor rating for ventilation, and as a result, its overall score was only 40.
If you plan to ski, you can choose from four sports helmets: NINE JR MIPS, CRÜETM MIPS, LAUNCHTM PLUS and LAUNCHTM, all of which are certified according to Ce EN 1077 and are safe and reliable. The NINE JR MIPS and CRÜETM MIPS, priced at $110 and $75 respectively, are equipped with MIPS pads, which can effectively reduce the rotational force generated by the impact on the brain in the event of an impact, thereby reducing the possibility of a concussion. LAUNCHTM PLUS AND LAUNCHTM, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAVE A LOWER PRICE OF ONLY $70 DUE TO THE LACK OF MIPS FUNCTION.
