A Merino winter cap is a staple in almost every cyclist’s wardrobe, and for good reason. Relatively light, they fit they’re comfortable and easy to carry or wear when you’re off the bike. Our Merino Winter™ Cap is thin enough to fit under helmets, with an updated panel construction that reduces bunching, too. We’ve also shortened the brim compared to some caps, for better upper peripheral vision without reducing the ability to block sun and rain.

That’s right – there isn’t a seam to be seen or felt. The seamless construction of the Seamless Beanie makes it fit on any shape head perfectly – no popping seams or odd bumps mean a truly uncompromised fit. The use of 100% Merino Superwash makes it super comfy and soft, and it’s also very packable into a system pocket. A must have staple for all.

ARE HELMETS EFFECTIVE?

Modern helmets practically disappear when you put one on, and they are the most effective means of preventing, and reducing the severity of cycling-related head injuries (anywhere from 45-85% of the most commonly reported brain injuries for cyclists).

HOW DO HELMETS WORK?

When you fall or crash and hit your head, the helmet’s EPS foam liner compresses like an airbag to absorb energy, so that the brain doesn’t move around the inside of the skull with as much force. By absorbing energy during the impact, a helmet may reduce the likelihood of the most common brain injuries, such as concussions and hemorrhaging.

WHAT IS IN-MOLD CONSTRUCTION?

Models like the Aeon™ and Xar™ are made by fusing the outer shell and the inner, im-pact-absorbing foam liner together permanently using pressure and steam in a mold. this often creates a lighter helmet because the shell reinforces the foam like a skin, eliminating extra adhesives and hardware, and allowing the use of a thinner polycarbonate shell.

WHAT IS INJECTION-MOLDED HARDSHELL CONSTRUCTION?

Models like the Cipher™ and Quarter™ feature a pre-molded shell and foam liner that are formed separately, then bonded together. While this creates a slightly heavier helmet that generally is not as vented as In-Mold helmets, the thicker shell often resists dents and dings more easily and is less expensive to engineer and manufacture.

OVERVIEW OF CYCLING HELMET SAFETY STANDARDS

Helmet standards help to govern the design and integrity of helmets so that riders get products that are well-designed for the type of riding they enjoy. All cycling helmets should be certified to the most relevant standards for the type of riding the wearer is participating in, and must be certified for the market they’re sold in. Here’s a simple breakdown of 3 key standards:

STEP 5 - ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE FIT STABILIZING SYSTEM (not a feature of all systems)You can adjust the fit even more on Roc Loc® and Acu Loc™ systems that offer height adjust-ment, which allows the helmet’s fore/aft tilt to be optimized. Simply slide the system’s occipital pads (at the back of the helmet) up or down for comfort and best coverage. experiment until you get a fit that is most comfortable.

STEP 6 - CHECKING THE FITOnce you think a proper fit has been achieved, grab the helmet with both hands and twist lightly it to the left and right. If the helmet fits properly, the skin on the forehead will move as the helmet moves. if it does not, the helmet is too loose.

next, grab the helmet with both hands and try to remove it by rolling the helmet forward and backward. THIS IS IMPORTANT. If you can roll it off the head completely, roll it forward so far that it blocks vision, or backward far enough to expose the forehead, it doesn’t fit correctly.

If you cannot adjust the helmet to fit properly according to these instructions, DO NOT USE THE HELMET. Replace it with a different size or model.

U.S. STANDARDSCPSC – the U.S. federal government’s standard for cycling helmets. all cycling helmets sold in the U.s. must comply with the CPsC standard.

ASTM F1952-09 – a voluntary standard specific to helmets for downhill MTB riding that requires a lower test line to help manage falls most commonly associated with more advanced off-road riding.

EUROPEAN UNION STANDARDSCE EN-1078 – the European Union standard for cycling helmets. all helmets sold in european Union must meet a Ce standard for protective equipment.

AUSTRALIAN / NEW ZEALAND STANDARDSAS / NZS 2063 – the Australian standard for cycling helmets. all helmets sold in australia must meet a government standard for protective equipment.

you can determine which standard a giro helmet meets by looking at the box label and on the label inside the helmet. it is important to note that no one standard is superior to the others. they all cover many aspects of a helmet’s design, performance and certification, and they all have merit. However, the helmet you buy must be certified for sale and use in the market where it is purchased. Also note that if a helmet doesn’t fit properly, it’s less effective, regardless of the standard the helmet is designed to.

WHAT IS A “MULTI-IMPACT” HELMET?

Some helmets are referred to as “multi-impact”. there are two reasons why we do not claim that Giro cycling helmets are “multi-impact”:1. no cycling helmet, regardless of the liner material or construction method used, can offer unlimited multiple-accident protection.2. there is no way to predict how hard you might hit your head the next time you fall, so we believe that it is best to wear a helmet that has not been impacted previously.

the bottom line is that if a helmet is involved in any serious impact, it should be inspected and replaced in case of any doubt, even if it appears undamaged.

Once you are satisfied that the helmet fits correctly and that all straps are properly adjusted, take a short test ride. Make any minor adjustments to improve comfort and stability.

If you have questions about fit, call Consumer Service at (800) 456-2355 or e-mail us at [email protected].

WHAT IF THE HELMET IS DAMAGED?

Helmets don’t last forever. Damage to a helmet is not always visible. if a helmet is visibly dam-aged (cracked outer shell, crushed or cracked foam liner or any other damage) don’t use it. Some or all of the helmet’s protective capacity is used up when impacted. if you have any questions about the condition of a helmet, call us for information or to get a free inspection.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD A HELMET BE REPLACED?

giro has a general recommendation of replacing a helmet every three (3) years. If you have any questions as to the condition of your helmet please call us for information or to set up a free inspection.

WHAT KIND OF WARRANTY DOES GIRO OFFER?

any giro helmet determined by giro to be de-fective in materials or workmanship within one (1) year from the date of original purchase will be repaired or replaced, at Giro’s option, free of charge when received at the factory freight prepaid, together with proof of purchase. if you have questions regarding the condition of your helmet or the warranty coverage on your helmet, contact us or refer to the helmet owner’s man-ual before sending your helmet in for inspection or replacement consideration.

HoW to Create a great, COMFORTABLE FIT

Proper fit is essential to performance and comfort. A helmet must fit right and be worn properly in order to be effective. to offer the best fit possible, Giro makes helmets in a wide range of sizes for men, women and children.

STEP 1 - SIZING A HELMET CORRECTLYto determine the correct size, you should mea-sure the circumference of the head. to do this, just wrap a measuring tape around the head, keeping the tape just above the ears and level front to back. Once you’ve determined the cor-rect size, you can check to make sure the helmet fits comfortably and securely. If the helmet doesn’t fit with just a little room between your head and the headband when the fit system is loose, you should replace it with one that does. you should always wear the helmet positioned low enough in the front to protect your forehead, but not so low that it hinders your vision.

STEP 2 - ADJUSTING THE STRAPS AT THE SIDE OF THE HELMETWith a proper fit, the front and rear straps should join at a point slightly below the ears. To adjust the strap positioning, open the Tri Loc™ adjusters on the straps, put the helmet on and slide the straps through the adjusters until they are located comfortably under the ears. Make sure there is no slack in any of the straps. then, close and lock the Tri Loc™ adjusters.

STEP 3 - ADJUSTING THE CHINSTRAP AND BUCKLEit is important that the chinstrap is comfortably snug and sits back against the throat, not on the point of the chin. it should be snug enough to prevent rolling-off, but loose enough so that the rider is able to open their mouth wide enough to eat. Make sure the loose ends of the strap pass through the rubber O-ring near the buckle. if it does not, the strap may slide loose and the helmet can come off accidentally.

STEP 4 - ADJUSTING THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE FIT STABILIZING SYSTEMA helmet should fit snugly on the wearer’s head, so that the skin on the forehead moves slightly when the helmet is moved back and forth. it should not cause a headache or be uncomfort-ably tight. To adjust the fit tension of Roc Loc® or acu loc™ systems while the helmet is on the wearer’s head, rotate the dial adjuster on the back of the system to tighten or loosen the fit as needed. To adjust the fit tension of Auto Loc™ systems you must remove the helmet, and move the snap anchor forward or back to adjust the fit as needed.

For safety reasons, we recommend that you do not attempt to adjust the fit of a helmet while you are riding.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT GIRO SHOES?

From our emphasis on fit comfort and adjustability, to the use of premium materials like easton® carbon fiber and Vibram® rubber outsoles, to the range of colors and styles we offer; giro™ stands apart in cycling footwear. But the most important difference is our fit.

Fit is more than a set of numbers, it’s a feeling. that is why we believe in providing cycling shoes that combine a cycling-specific fit with a neutral platform (no varus or valgus adjustment built-in) and a range of sizes and styles that allow adjustments based on every rider’s individual needs.

HOW DO GIRO SHOES FIT COMPARED TO OTHER BRANDS?

giro cycling shoes are designed for a precise fit – one that is snug and supportive in the heel, mid-foot, and instep areas, with a little more volume in the forefoot and toe box for natural feel and comfort. We offer our shoes in a full range of sizes, including Women’s Fit and High Volume Fit (for wide feet and high insteps) and half-sizes in most models.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN’S FIT AND WOMEN’S FIT?

Giro Women’s Fit shoes have a lower instep volume, a lower forefoot girth and a narrower heel than our men’s / unisex shoes.

DOES GIRO OFFER SHOES FOR EXTRA WIDE FEET OR VERY HIGH INSTEPS?

Yes. We offer 6 models (Code™ HV, Terraduro™ HV, Privateer™ HV, Factor HV ACC, Trans™ HV and Apeckx™ HV) in our “HV” fit to accommo-date riders with extra wide (up to EE width) feet, or very high instep heights.

ARE GIRO SHOES HEAT-MOLDABLE?

no. every giro shoe is made with a tailored upper that hugs the foot naturally and is supple enough to wrap to the contours of your foot for a supportive, precise fit without heating.

Will giro sHoes WorK WitH CUSTOM ORTHOTICS?

every giro shoe is made to accommodate a wide variety of footbeds, as well as internal and external wedge adjustments and some custom orthotics. that said, orthotics vary widely, and we cannot guarantee a good fit. We recommend that you consult with your orthopedist or a fit expert to evaluate the fit and your best options.

WHat is tHe sUPernatUral FIT SYSTEM?

the supernatural Fit system combines a thin, cycling specific footbed with an adjustable arch support system. this system allows riders to custom-tune their arch support and fit right out of the box, without any tools or hassles. By properly supporting the arch, fit and comfort of cycling shoes is enhanced and common dis-comforts like hotspots, numbness and cramping are reduced or eliminated. Proper arch support can also improve pedaling power and efficiency on the bike.

WHY CHOOSE CYCLING-SPECIFIC FOOTBEDS WITH PROPER ARCH SUPPORT?

Cycling is a unique activity. When you pedal a bicycle, your feet do not strike the ground; therefore your feet do not encounter the same forces and impacts as they do when you walk or run. therefore, there is less need for cushioning and more emphasis on proper arch support to enhance comfort and pedaling efficiency.

WHAT ARE “VALGUS” (PRONATION) AND “VARUS” (SUPINATION)? HOW DO THEY AFFECT PEDALING COMFORT AND EFFICIENCY?

Valgus is the tendency of the foot to lean inward at the ankle. Varus is the tendency of the foot to roll outward at the ankle.

either of these tendencies can cause aches and pain in the forefoot and arch, and in some cases negatively affect a rider’s pedaling comfort and efficiency. All Giro footwear provides the capa-bility for you to adjust or replace footbeds, and to work with a properly-trained fitter to make adjustments that will enhance your comfort and performance if needed.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT OUTSOLES?

Easton EC90 SLX ACC is 100% unidirectional carbon with high modulus fibers. It is our lightest, highest level of performance and also features titanium cleat hardware inserts.

Easton EC90 ACC is made of 100% unidirectional carbon. It has pro-level stiffness similar to the eC90 slX aCC outsole, but is slightly heavier.

easton eC70 aCC carbon composite outsoles are a blend of carbon and fiberglass. They are light and stiff with performance and value that exceeds many carbon outsoles.

DuPont® Zytel™ outsoles are made of a special nylon composite that is stiffer and more durable that traditional nylon outsoles. our Zytel soles are not as stiff as our premium carbon or composite outsoles, but they offer class-leading performance with less weight.

our basic nylon composite outsoles are made of a high-quality nylon composite that offers great performance and value, while taking advantage of the same carefully-engineered molds as our higher-end DuPont nylon soles.

Vibram® outsoles feature proprietary rubber compounds developed for exceptional grip and durability on a variety of surfaces

DOES GIRO OFFER A SPEEDPLAY™- SPECIFIC OUTSOLE DRILLING?

No, but Speedplay’s adapters are compatible with giro shoes.

DOES GIRO OFFER REPLACEMENT LUGS OR WALKING PADS FOR THEIR SHOES?

yes, some models feature replaceable lugs for 2015 including: empire™slX, Prolight™ slXii, Factor™ aCC, empire™ aCC, trans e70, republic™, Civila™, territory™, reveille™, Factress aCC™, espada e70™.

DOES GIRO OFFER REPLACEMENT TOE SPIKES?

Yes. All Giro shoe models that are toe-spike compatible use the same toe spike.

WHAT KIND OF WARRANTY DOES GIRO OFFER?

any giro shoe determined by giro to be defective in materials or workmanship within one (1) year from the date of original purchase will be repaired or replaced, at Giro’s option, free of charge when received at the factory freight prepaid, together with proof of purchase. if you have questions regarding the condition of your helmet or the warranty coverage on your helmet, contact us or refer to the helmet owner’s man-ual before sending your helmet in for inspection or replacement consideration.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT GIRO GLOVES?

Every rider benefits when equipment fits and feels like a part of them. With innovations like our unique 3-panel palm design and better ma-terials like technogel®, Pittards® leathers and Poron® XRD™ armoring, Giro’s range of road, dirt, winter and recreational gloves provides enhanced comfort and control that you can feel, every time you ride.

HOW DO GIRO GLOVES FIT?

giro gloves are based on our proprietary super Fit™ engineering process that combines research data on human anatomy with hand-crafted refinements and a “tailored” construction. The result is a snug, near-custom feel with the support of modern materials that improve comfort and control on the bike. We offer gloves in a full range of up to 6 unisex sizes, 3 women’s sizes, and sizes for kids under 12, so that almost any rider can find a glove that fits and feels like a part of them.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN’S AND WOMEN’S HANDS?

Women’s hands typically have a smaller palm girth and width, smaller wrist diameter and nar-rower fingers when compared to men’s hands.

HoW to get tHe CorreCt GLOVE SIZE.

Giro Gloves are available in unisex and women’s sizes that are tailored to the needs of cyclists. to determine your glove size, wrap a measuring tape around your dominant hand, just below your knuckles (excluding your thumb), and make a fist. This measurement is your “hand width” glove size. since every hand is unique, use the chart below as a guide, but allow for some variance based on how the glove fits!

WHY DOES GIRO USE A 3-PANEL PALM?

the human hand is an amazingly dynamic instrument, with strength and dexterity that is essential to a rider’s control of a bike’s handling, shifting and braking. Our 3-panel design tailors the palm of the glove to better fit the contours and articulation of the hand, and optimizes the location of padding, material and seams to enhance your comfort, grip and control of the bike.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEATHER AND SYNTHETIC GLOVES?

Giro makes gloves in many configurations including classic all-leather designs, modern synthetic / natural hybrids and all-synthetic designs. each glove is designed as a system to provide the best fit, comfort and performance for riding.

- Natural leathers provide a very supple feel and aesthetic, with the ability to break-in and form to the rider’s body. With proper care, they can also be durable enough to last several seasons.

- Synthetic gloves provide a supple feel and modern aesthetic, with the ability to breathe, stretch and conform to the rider’s body across a wide range of conditions. they are very durable, and require less attentive care than natural leathers.

- Hybrid designs, with a natural leather palm and synthetic upper, combine the best attributes of both materials. they are light, supple and breathable, with the ability to break-in and conform to the body.

- Winter gloves generally use synthetic materials to resist the elements and harsh conditions of winter riding, while insulating the body from cold and wet. We use modern insulating materials, including synthetic insulation and wool-blend removable liners where appropriate, to provide the best comfort and performance possible.

also note that some giro glove models have a slightly more “snug” fit when new, so you may need to size up from the size you usually wear or allow them some time to “break-in” for a perfect fit.

DO ALL GIRO GLOVES FIT THE SAME?

since our full glove line covers so many different needs and conditions, we may make adjustments to some patterns in order to create the best glove possible for each type of use or conditions. While we strive for the most consis-tent feel possible, this means that certain gloves may feel different than others. For instance, leather gloves will stretch and “break-in” with time and use, so they may feel snug when new compared to similar synthetic glove designs. also, winter gloves are designed to have a little more interior volume in order to trap heat, so they may feel roomier than a comparable mountain bike or long-finger road glove.

HOW SHOULD I CLEAN GLOVES?

Cleaning synthetic glovesFor best results, clean the gloves using luke-warm water and a mild liquid soap or cleaner, and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight. When almost dry, you can put the gloves on to give them shape.

Cleaning leather / leather Palm glovesFor gloves with leather, extra care will help to extend the life of the glove, and a good leather conditioner can help to keep the leather supple since washing can damage it.

steP1: Use lukewarm water and mild soap to gently wash the glove (you can wear the glove while washing to help maintain the glove’s shape)

steP 2: gently pat dry with a towel to remove excess water

steP 3: you can put the gloves on to give them shape, and then gently remove them. Make sure they are laid flat.

STEP 4: Hang to air dry away from heat or direct sunlight

steP 5: When almost dry, you can put the gloves on to give them shape. you can also gently rub a good leather conditioner into the leather to help keep it supple

Note: Never dry clean, bleach or tumble dry!

after each use remove the gloves carefully, lay them flat, and allow the gloves to air dry in an open area. then store in a cool, dry place. note: We strongly discourage leaving used gloves in damp, enclosed spaces (like the bot-tom of a gear bag) since that can inhibit proper drying and cause the leathers or other materials to become stiff or brittle.
