Essence MIPS VIVID Helmet

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I wore the Essence MIPS Vivid through a full week of resort skiing, and the integrated shield made a huge difference on bluebird days when glare gets bad in the afternoon. The In Form Fit System dialed in fast even with gloves on, and the adjustable venting kept me comfortable whether I was lapping groomers or standing in a slow lift line."

Cold mornings at the base lodge call for gear that is ready the moment you are, and the Giro Essence MIPS Vivid Helmet earns its place in that routine. From the parking lot to the top of the lift, the seamlessly integrated VIVID shield with Optics by ZEISS keeps vision sharp and the elements out, so the focus stays on the descent ahead rather than fumbling with separate eyewear. Giro built this helmet for people who want the whole system to work together.

Once you drop in, the Thermostat Control adjustable venting does its job quietly in the background, letting you tune airflow on the fly without pulling off a glove. The In Form Fit System offers up to 6cm of adjustment and holds steady run after run, while MIPS technology adds a meaningful layer of rotational impact protection when conditions get rowdy. Plush Max Padding and earpad compatibility with Outdoor Tech audio systems round out a helmet that keeps you comfortable and connected from first chair to the very last run of the day.
