Giro Jackson MIPS Snow Helmet
$94.83Compared to $190.00*Save 50%
Built for winter adventures from the park to the backcountry, the Giro Jackson MIPS snow helmet combines aerodynamic airflow, sleek design and protection so you can confidently focus on any terrain.
- Inspired by the aerodynamic airflow of high-end autos, Passive Aggressive Venting effectively manages airflow and temperature while you're riding, hiking or standing still
- Stack Vent aligns with the center vent of your goggles to keep them fog-free; helmet is designed for seamless compatibility with Giro goggles (not included)
- On-the-fly vertical tuning accommodates different goggles and head shapes for a custom, gap-free fit
- Rotational motion can cause brain injuries; with MIPS, a low-friction layer slides 10 to 15 mm in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain during impact
- In-mold construction fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with an impact-absorbing foam liner; fusion process allows for lighter helmets and better ventilation
- Polartec® Power Grid lining offers exceptional next-to-skin comfort with a bicomponent knit construction that creates 2 surfaces: one moisture wicking, the other quick drying
- The Polartec Power Grid lining also stays fresher for longer, thanks to the incorporation of silver salt (silver chloride), which inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria
- Easily dial in a custom fit—even with gloves on—with the lightweight, low-profile In Form 2 Fit System; improved dial enhances stability and offers up to 6 cm of adjustability
- Sleek design features a slight brim, removable goggle retainer and removable earpads
- Certification: CE EN1077

READ THIS IF YOU HAVE A NARROW/OBLONG/OVAL HEAD.

IF YOU HAVE A NARROW HEAD, THIS IS YOUR HELMET. I tried on every smith helmet wanting to like them but they’re round and my head is not. If you need a 5 star helmet in safety, design, and comfort AND YOU HAVE TROUBLE WOTH HELMET SHAPES, this helmet is all you.

Great at first, but a key flaw: lost my goggles
n3wsk00l2 years ago
If you look at the rear of the helmet, you will see that the goggles slot in through the top.
It is common to use the helmet as a bucket to carry gloves and such while inside. Due to the way the goggles slot in, they will just pop right off with little effort.

Sleek helmet that doesn’t make your head look wide
3 years ago
I really like that this helmet is slightly more narrow, and doesn’t make your head look huge. It doesn’t sacrifice safety either because I did take a nasty fall when I caught my heel edge while snowboarding at night. I was glad I wore this helmet.

Lightweight & Great Fit
1 year ago
After trying several other helmets, I finally landed on the Giro Jackson MIPS, and it was a game-changer. Unlike others, this one fit naturally and comfortably right from the start. The sleek, low-profile design looks great on the slopes, and the MIPS technology offers peace of mind with its advanced protection against rotational impacts. The ventilation system works well to keep my head cool without compromising warmth, and the fit adjustment dial ensures a snug, secure fit. I also appreciate how lightweight it feels, even after hours of wear. Overall, this helmet has the perfect balance of style, comfort, and safety, making it a top pick for anyone on the slopes.

This helmet is super comfortable and considerably lightweight. Favorite thing is the vent on the brim that allows for air to travel in to your goggles and prevents fog. Nobody likes goggy foggles.

Nice breathable helmet with a bad goggle clip
1 year ago
First the bad, the goggle clip is one of the worst designs out there. It should really be pointed down to prevent a goggle from sliding up over the helmet or just do a strap with a button so you can quick snap a goggle in. I also found the fit slightly odd, its a bit taller than most helmets, maybe not a great pick if you have a wider head, but I was able to make it work. I like it a lot because the liner is a bit thinner and breathes well. I frequently found myself overheating while skiing using helmets I had rented. This one breathes nicely and allows me to hear mostly unobstructed. There are many ways to layer and make a helmet warmer if needed, but on warmer days you still gotta wear a helmet for safety so cooler is better in my opinion. I got some Giro goggles to go with it and I was very surprised to see just how well they fit with each other, the cutout lines up perfectly.

Almost perfect

This is my first helmet. It’s comfortable, warm and did not impact my hearing like other helmets I tried on. After use, my only suggestion would be that the chin strap would be more comfortable if it were wider, more substantial.
