Giro Nine Mips Review

Our Best Bang for Your Buck Award winner, the Giro Nine Mips, is the epitome of the everyman helmet. It’s been Giro’s flagship since some of us were learning to ski as children. We wouldn’t be opposed to a picture of the Nine being placed in the dictionary next to the term ‘ski helmet.’ Now Giro is stepping up its game. The latest iteration of the Nine now comes with Mips technology, a system designed to reduce rotational forces on impact and lessen the chance of serious injury. It’s a good helmet; it does its job well. It’s not loaded with the bells and whistles of some of our higher-rated helmets. It’s not pushing the envelope of technology and innovation. It’s just a good, solid, reliable helmet with Mips added in. While the Giro Nine Mips would certainly work for anyone, it’s probably best suited to the occasional skier or even weekend warriors. You’re not going to break the bank purchasing one, and you’re not going to feel let down rocking it at your local hill.
