If your typical outing consists of technical descents and challenging climbs, the Chronicle MIPS helmet will provide you with the protection and comfort you need in an affordable package. The design is tuned from our premium Montara helmet and offers most of the key features: a deep shape, extensive neck protection and an adjustable label compatible with motocross goggles.
Chronicle MIPS won an extensive test of six trail helmets on the pinkbike server.

MIPS IS A MOVEMENT
Progress in the development of bicycle helmets.
All Giro helmets are designed to absorb as much energy as possible during an impact and meet the valid European standard: EN 1078. The goal of the new MIPS technology is to eliminate the rotational forces that act on the head in the event of a fall. In an impact at any angle, the MIPS system allows the EPS shell of the helmet to rotate independently around the rider's head. Although this movement is only on the order of a few millimeters, we believe that MIPS technology significantly reduces the amount of rotational force that would otherwise be transmitted to the brain.
WHAT IS MIPS (multidirectional Impact Protection System) and how does it work?
MIPS is a slippery insert between the EPS shell (helmet body) and the inner linings. In the event of an impact at an angle (for example, when you catch your head on a branch), the EPS shell of the helmet rotates a few millimeters after the MIPS layer, protecting the head and brain from a violent rotational jerk.
