Giro started in 1985 by creating the first ventilated, lightweight cycling helmet, the Prolight. Today, Giro is a worldwide leader in equipment for cycling, skiing, and snowboarding and the company's goods are worn by millions of riders around the world.
Product Description
The Switchblade MIPS was created for hard charging descents and the demands of elite enduro racing. P.O.V. Plus visor and Roc Loc Air DH fit system that features a bumper around the dial to prevent accidental adjustments in case your helmet contacts your backpack or neck brace. The chinbar is engineered to help manage impact energies, and is easy to install or remove in seconds. The full-cut style gives this helmet an aggressive look with an added measure of coverage, while the strategic ventilation, including Wind Tunnel ventilation channels behind the cheek pads, provides plenty of cooling power for everyday riding.

Used mine for a summer of BASE jumping - it's perfect for those smart enough to want a real helmet with a full face system (most skydive/base helmets are just expensive camera mounts...). Remember, you can't save yourself after a cliff or building strike if the hit knocks you the f* out!! Also, full face makes sense when you realize insurance doesn't cover the $20k+ cost of dental implants to replace the teeth you just knocked out because maybe you reached a little too much at deployment and opened with a 180... (must have been the pack job)
For those of us stupid enough to use it for base jumping, I recommend removing the visor as this can be a snag point. If you're jumping a building drunk, at 3am after dancing salsa for several hours on a Friday night, the sun isn't much of an issue anyway. However, the visor is the most natural camera mount, so if you want to share your idiocy with hordes of online admirers, the alternative is to mount a camera on the top of the helmet with a 3M sticky pad, which you can literally rip off in a half second if snagged. There is no quick release system like with a SD helmet, but that's not so important for the low stuff, now is it...
Also, this will not be as rugged as other helmets with a plastic or fiberglass cover, so keep it on the top of your stash bag and try not to bash it along rocks, trees, or security guards along the climb to your desired exit point.
Comes with replacement pads, an extra visor with a mount, and a thin bag. Helmet itself feels like it could survive a major accident.
I'll update my review if I have any problems or insights down the road.

Some are truly excellent helmets but I am a believer in the right helmet for the right conditions and in that pursuit, I needed a proper mountain cycling and trails riding helmet. I ride an eBike and I really wanted too have a proper excellent helmet that I could wear comfortably for hours and hours of North Carolina Summers and a little bit chilly Winters.
After trying many full face helmets of many different manufacturers, I tried the Giro Switchblade MIPS edition. This one is an exceptional rendering of a modular full face with detachable chin guard. I am very impressed with Giro products and I am pleased with them, especially after really putting them to the test.
Clearly I do not want to crash in order to test the crash worthiness of this helmet. However; Giro publishes their crash testing findings and this helmet has been awarded all of the certs that matter to me.
This helmet is super comfortable so I can stand to wear it in the heat and cold and rain and such, for the 99% of the time I am not having an epic eBike crash. I have to say, this is very comfortable. Not just on the first minute of the ride, but the 6th hour as well.
I've read some reviews which speak to a concern that the detachable chin guard wouldn't withstand the potential impacts it is designed for. Honestly, I am not sure why this would be a concern because It is super super sturdy and yank as you might, it isn't coming off unless it wasn't latched properly, which is user error.
I have lots of non full face helmets, so I don't need another one but the fact that this can be released to become a really excellent open face helmet. I feel like I got two for one here and the fact that it is so easy to custom fit the interior and the extra cheek pads are helpful.
The fit and finish is really excellent as well. So why did I rate comfort at three stars when I am really happy with this helmet? Because it lacks the interior padding I think it warrants. It is a bit thin on the top due to pads that are a little bit too thin on the top and upper sides. The helmet isn't UNcomfortable, it just lacks the interior padding that would put it to five stars in my book.
I believe the price to be very fair given what you get. This is an impressive helmet!!!
