Giro Nine MIPS Snow Helmet Matte White Medium
TIMELESS STYLE
A proven favorite for more than a decade, the updated Nine is now offered with the MIPS. This lightweight helmet is defined by its low profile and streamlined silhouette. A wealth of features – including the custom tuning of the In Form Fit System and Thermostat Control venting – make the Nine MIPS one of Giro’s most enduring and popular performance snow helmets.
IN-MOLD CONSTRUCTION
In-Mold Construction fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet’s impact-absorbing foam liner. The fusion process allows for better ventilation systems, making In-Mold helmets lighter and cooler than traditional helmets.
IN FORM FIT SYSTEM
The In Form Fit System makes it easy to dial in a custom fit in seconds-even with gloves on. An ergo-friendly dial at the base of the helmet provides up to 6cm of adjustment and enhanced stability. The Vertical Tuning feature accommodates different goggles and head shapes for a custom fit free of gaper gap.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL ADJUSTABLE VENTING
Adjustable venting allows you to control the air vents. Close them on a cold, snowy day. Open them up on a warm spring day. The adjustable vent allows you to remain comfortable with just the slide of your finger.
STACK VENT
Our Stack Vent was developed based on research showing the majority of the warm air that can cause fogging exhausts from the center top vent of the goggle. Aligning the Stack Vent in the helmet with the vent of your goggles helps to keep them clear and fog free.

Warm, comfortable and well made. This is my first cold weather sports helmet and I’m very impressed. I wore it for several days in 60mph+ winds while skiing and it provided excellent protection from the elements. I was easily able to close the vents on the top with thick mittens on which ensured I was toasty warm. I have very little hair so I had a thin wool balaclava on underneath for added warm. It still fit great. The helmet has several adjustments including tightening the overall size of the fit with a wheel in the…
Fits true to “XL” – well made
Very nice helmet – Not sure the price increase for MIPS is warranted on snow It fits extremely well with the adjustment strap on the back. I recommend going one size larger for growth if buying for kids. This helmet looks much higher end than most out their on the mountain. You get what you pay for. With that said not sure MIPS is worth the psychological advantage. I heard that MIPS comes into play during head accidents where the inner padding can shift or rotate inside. This means the helmet must hit the ground hard, somewhat stick to the ground and allow the inner…
