Essence MIPS Vivid has one construction that replaces goggles. The replaceable visor provides effective protection against all elements such as wind, snow and rain and protects against harmful UV rays. The visor also offers an exceptional field of vision to the sides, up and down, and with optical clarity.
The helmet construction is based on the light but comfortable Union and has an In Form Fit System with a steering wheel for fine adjustment of size and circumference. Essence is equipped with Mips technology which can reduce rotational force against the brain in case of falls and significantly increases safety. The documented effect is medically guaranteed.

In-Mold Construction
In-Mold is the most common type of construction for helmets. The construction has a tough outer shell of polycarbonate which is cast together with the helmet's shock-absorbing inner shell of foam. The fusion process enables a lighter helmet with effective channels for ventilation.
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.
VIVID™
VIVID™ is a patented lens technology developed by Giro in collaboration with ZEISS Optics, which optimizes the visual experience on snow – improving contrast and increasing the definition of objects in the environment. VIVID™ technology also reduces the strain on the eyes, improves reaction time and instills increased confidence in what the eyes perceive and provides accurate visibility without color saturation. VIVID™ technology precisely manipulates light by letting in contrast-enhancing blue light and blocking harmful UV light.
In Shape Fit System
The helmet is adjusted with high precision for an individual fit, even with gloves on. The advanced vertical setting function On-The-Fly can be adjusted to various main shapes and makes room for most goggles without giving a gap.
Thermostat Control ™
Adjustable ventilation that directly adjusts the air flow with a discreet button on the outside of the helmet.
Stack Vent
A system based on research that shows that the largest amount of hot air, which causes fog, comes from the upper center valve on goggles. Giro's goggles are synchronized with the helmet's Stack Vent to ventilate the hot air and keep the lens free from fog.
