Avance Mips is the most advanced helmet that Giro has launched. Avance is constructed with the next generation Mips Spherical where the inner shell parts slide freely relative to the foam liner.
The rapid development in alpine racing leads to ever-increasing pressure on the athletes, and the engineers, together with active World Cup racers, have identified which needs need to be met. With the Hammerhead design, material has been strategically added to the points affected by repeated club hits at high speeds, hence the specific shape at the temple.
The outer shell is constructed with Textreme carbon with fibers that are flat and wide as opposed to round fibers. As a result, less binder and glue is required and the outer shell is both lighter, more durable and stronger than what was previously possible to produce. The shock-absorbing material EPP Premium is a low-density foam that lies inside the shell and reduces the force from both strong and light impacts and blows.

Spherical Technology
Sophisticated further development of the existing MIPS® System that protects the brain against the rotation that occurs in a crash. MIPS® can significantly increase safety and the documented effect is medically proven. In this design, two shells of Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) are used, of which the inner shell moves spherically and offers 10-15 mm relative movement distance.
MIPS® Multi-directional Impact Protection System
The helmet has an integrated MIPS® System that can significantly increase safety against the rotation that occurs in a crash. Rotational violence against the brain can cause the most serious brain damage. Mips can significantly increase safety and the documented effect is medically guaranteed. With MIPS®, the outer part and inner part can slide relative to each other, reduce rotation and counteract damage to the head and brain. Tests and studies show that MIPS® significantly reduces the force and reduces the risk of serious brain damage.
X-Static® Padding
X-Static® is a textile fiber made with a layer of pure silver that is permanently bonded to the fiber's surface. It is an antimicrobial fiber that is 100% natural and that counteracts odors in the lining and regulates the heat in the helmet.
