Giro Sonnet MIPS Helmet - Women's

You’ve probably seen the MIPS name everywhere –it’s certainly taken bike helmets by storm, but what is it? MIPS is a technology that does its best to protect your brain by mimicking what the brain does to protect itself. Namely, MIPS aims to mimic the cerebrospinal fluid that allows the skull and the brain to move independently. This synthetic buffer, as applied in the Giro Sonnet Helmet seen here, allows the shell and the EPS foam to move independently in the event of a tangential force. It essentially redirects the impact in such a manner that it should do a better job in preventing catastrophic brain injuries.

Outside of the MIPS tech, the Sonnet is everything you’d expect from Giro –light, breathable, well-fitting, and incredibly comfortable.

Giro Saga Helmet - Women's

Featuring many of the same materials and technologies as Giro’s top-of-the-line Synthe, the Saga Helmet offers a lightweight, aerodynamic option for those of us who demand performance that doesn’t break the bank. The Saga features In-Mold construction, a process that unifies the EPS foam liner to the polycarbonate shell to create a structure that is lighter, stronger, and ultimately safer. The Saga offers a sleek aerodynamic shape and offers 22 Wind Tunnel vents to keep you cool and comfortable. Giro’s Roc Loc 5 retention system is 40% lighter than the previous version and allows you to the adjust tension and vertical position of the helmet with the simple turn of a dial, making it super easy to find the perfect fit.

Mavic Echappee Trail Pro Helmet - Women's

You fancy yourself to be a bit of an escape artist, maybe not in the way a magician might, but you've got a knack for busting out of the city on a whim and escaping deep into old-growth forests, pushing up switchbacks of aspens, or whipping through desert singletrack where giant saguaro cacti cast towering shadows across the trail. Its best to pair your inner explorer with outward protection to match, which is why Mavic has crafted the new Women's Echappee Trail Pro Helmet.

This trail ready helmet gives you coverage with a tough external shell, and in-mold EPS 4D impact foam that absorbs shock from big hits. Its fit is rather adaptive, so it works for riders with all different shaped noggins, thanks to Ergo Hold SL for adjustability, and Live Fit technology that packs in XRD foam that contours to you. Sometimes you'll catch some heat when you're escaping, so the helmet is equipped with huge Clima Flow vents and airflow channels that keeps air flowing throughout for evaporative cooling while you ride. Against your scalp is Mavic's 37.5 fabric, a material designed to use active particles to reduce humidity, and absorb heat from your head, and while we're not sure how the science works behind it, we'll do just about anything to drop the temperature a couple of degrees on the sweltering days, so we can stay more comfortable when we're hammering up tedious fire roads.

Mavic Echappee Pro MIPS Helmet - Women's

Instead of the traditional design of road helmets, the Mavic Women's Echappee Pro MIPS Helmet employs an ergonomic shape to enhance its overall comfort, as well as provide additional protection over the backside of your head. It's designed with blue straps and retention system for a touch of colorful personality, but without being flashy or overdone like others on the market.

By now you're probably aware of MIPS, but we'll explain this leading impact-dissipating technology in a brief manner. Basically, this technology places a low-friction liner inside, which allows the helmet to rotate independently around your head, should you take a spill at an oblique angle with the asphalt, which is most likely to occur. This allows the helmet to dissipate rotational impact forces from being transmitted through the helmet, instead of just offering protection from head-on collisions like a traditional cycling helmet.

Not only is it ergonomically contoured and enhanced with MIPS technology, but it sits precisely over your head with its head-conforming XRD foam liner, meaning it won't feel uncomfortable or create pressure points as you rack up long mileage on the road. These pads are embedded with 37.5 technology, which is a heat-activated technology of charcoal fibers derived from coconut shells and volcanic sands. Ultimately, this technology allows built-up perspiration to rapidly evaporate from your head as you begin to sweat, meaning you won't succumb to overheating issues while pushing yourself at a swift cadence down the road.

Fox Racing Flux Helmet - Women's

Slip on the lightweight, well-ventilated Women's Flux Helmet by Fox Racing before pedaling up a long, drawn-out climb, then descending at high rates of speed with precipitous drop-offs and tight corners on the way back down. This newest version is redesigned with a lower profile fit and Fox's Varizorb multi-density EPS foam, which provides targeted impact dispersion where you need it most. Another upgrade, the backside of the helmet features an internal cage, which reinforces the helmet along some of the most sensitive areas of your noggin, should you suffer a nasty crash on the trail.

Besides the upgrades in functional protection, 14 Big Bore intake and exhaust vents ensure you remain utterly cool and comfortable, even during long climbs and rides in sweltering conditions. The Flux Helmet dials in a secure, head-wrapping fit with its 300-degree retention system, which dials in a micro-adjustable fit with its rear dial. Additionally, you'll find an adjustable visor that keeps the sun off your face and keeps vegetation from poking your face on thick, brush-lined trails.

Louis Garneau Tiffany Helmet - Women's

Louis Garneau brings surprising value and versatility to the table with its Tiffany Women’s Mountain or Road Helmet. The Tiffany boasts features that you would only expect to find on high-end helmets, but at a price that will make you double-take. Even more surprising is the sophisticated styling that Garneau offers in its entry-level helmet.

Garneau bills the Tiffany as a mountain or road helmet. The visor can be removed for a sleek, aerodynamic road style. In-mold construction keeps the weight (and the cost) down. The Tiffany incorporates 20 vents and a surprisingly sophisticated air evacuation channel system that not only cools but helps to manage moisture. Spiderlock Solo III is a permanent helmet stabilizing system with fixed inclination and a headband that completely surrounds the head. One-hand fit adjustments can be made easily with the textured adjustment wheel.

Because your helmet is worn daily, Garneau incorporated sealed Airdry padding. This durable padding molds to your head for comfort and is fully washable. Moisture channels placed into the helmet help to provide airflow through the helmet and wick moisture away to keep your head cool and dry.
