Giro Tenet MIPS Adult Helmet 2027

The Giro Tenet MIPS Adult Helmet hits the sweet spot in Giro's lineup. Premium MIPS protection and refined fit at a more accessible price than the Spherical models. In-Mold construction keeps the shell lightweight and low-profile, while integrated MIPS technology helps reduce rotational impact forces in angled crashes. Stack Vents pair with goggle venting to keep lenses fog-free, and the Auto Loc 2 fit system dials in a secure feel with one hand on the chairlift.

Key Features

• MIPS Brain Protection System redirects rotational impact forces
• In-Mold construction for a lightweight, low-profile shell
• Stack Vents work with goggle venting to fight fog
• Auto Loc 2 micro-adjust dial for a customized fit
• Compatible across the full Giro goggle lineup

FAQs

Q: How much protection am I giving up versus the Tor Spherical?

A: Not much in real-world terms. Both helmets carry MIPS, both use the same low-profile In-Mold construction, and both are independently rated as top-tier for protection. The Tor's Spherical Technology has a slight edge in how it handles angled impacts because two liner layers move against each other instead of one, but the Tenet's standard MIPS still redirects rotational forces effectively. You're trading roughly 10 percent of the protection edge for a meaningful price drop.

Q: Will it fit with a balaclava or thin facemask underneath?

A: Yes. The Tenet's Auto Loc 2 dial has enough adjustment range to comfortably accommodate a thin balaclava in cold weather. For thicker neck warmers, you may want to size up if you're between sizes.

Q: Is this helmet warm enough for Midwest mornings?

A: The Stack Vents are adjustable, so you can close them down on a cold lift ride and open them up when you're working harder mid-run. Most Midwest riders find it warm enough on its own; a thin skull cap or balaclava handles single-digit days.

How to Measure Your Head

Using a soft tape measure, wrap it around your head about 1 inch above your eyebrows. That measurement in centimeters is your helmet size. Most helmets run in S/M/L/XL with size ranges printed on the box. If you're between sizes, size up and use the fit dial to snug it down.

MIPS Technology

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the helmet to rotate slightly on impact, reducing rotational forces on the brain. We recommend MIPS for most skiers and snowboarders - it's especially valuable for kids and those who take big falls.
