With a similar style as Giro's flagship models, we think the Foray MIPS is a classy choice for riders looking for a classic and professional look without breaking the bank. Whether you're just getting started or an experienced climber, whatever your adventure needs, we have the gear. Giro: The Foray™ drafts off the bold design language of our premium Synthe™ helmet, and offers many of our key features including durable In-Mold Construction and the Roc Loc® 5 fit system with two-way fit adjustment.

Giro's chinstrap Y-buckles can easily be adjusted to be either lower down by the chin or higher up by the ears.

A lightweight, comfortable, well-ventilated helmet with a built-in MIPS liner, this lid stands out for its amazing value. Not much lets it down – in fact, if I had to nit-pick, I’d say the shell’s finish is the only thing that looks ‘cheap’, but there are matt options available in the seven different colours. It is also very lightweight and has a slim profile, so it's hardly noticeable that you're even wearing it, which is this sign of an ideal helmet. The above does not apply to bikes, which we have to assemble and inspect before repacking for dispatch.

He possesses an in-depth knowledge of bicycle mechanics, as well as bike fit and coaching qualifications.

The micro-adjust dial works as a ratchet system and draws the restraint system in, allowing you to have a secure and near perfect fit. The Giro Foray MIPS is one of the least expensive helmets in our lineup, yet includes a bunch of the same features that are found on its costlier competitors. This wasn't a deal-breaker for our testers, but for riders with head shapes and sizes that don't perfectly align with the shape of the helmet liner, this could lead to an awkward fit or uncomfortable pressure points. It does however benefit from Giro's In-Mold construction technique that moulds and bonds the polystyrene with the harder outer shell in a single process.

Tipping my head forward to look down just made this worse as the sweat seemed to run out of the front exhaust channel. The adjustable and unobtrusive Y-buckles are easy to manipulate to dial in the right tightness for a comfortable fit. A total of twenty one vents aim to drag air across the head keeping you cool on a ride, including large, rear facing ports to aid continuous airflow.Others have small channeled grooves in the foam liner or a headband that suspends the helmet just off the head, both of which promote better airflow within the helmet itself. Ok the helmet itself has excellent ventilation and a clever airflow system but for those riders who sweat a lot, the thin padding doesn't quite do enough to channel the sweat away from the face. Utilising the MIPS® (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System), the Giro Foray MIPS Helmet features the Roc Loc 5 System with a two way adjustable fit. We think that most riders will be satisfied with the ventilation of this offering from Giro, especially those looking for a tremendous value in a great all-around performer.

The chinstrap buckle itself is also adjustable, as is standard on most helmets, making this system easy to work with across the board. smartphone or printed), along with proof of ID (passport or driving license) and the card used to purchase. 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.
