Giro Trig Mips Helmet 2026

The Goggle

The Trig is Giro's hard-shell answer to a season spent hitting the park and hucking flips off anything with a lip. It's built with a tougher outer shell than Giro's softer in-mold lids, backed by an EPS foam liner underneath to soak up the hit. If you're the type who sessions the same jump line all afternoon or spends more time on rails than groomers, this is the kind of helmet that's built to take that kind of repeat abuse. We carry it alongside the rest of our helmets lineup, and it's one we point park skiers and riders toward.

What Sets It Apart

MIPS is built into the helmet and it's there to cut down rotational force on your brain if you land on an angle instead of flat - which, let's be honest, is how most park crashes actually happen. Thermostat Control gives you a low-profile button on the outside of the shell so you can open or close venting mid-run, no need to stop and fuss with anything. And Stack Ventilation lines up with your goggles to keep airflow moving across the lens, which matters more than people think once you're hiking to the takeoff and your goggles start fogging on the way up.

The one trade-off here: a hard shell adds a bit more weight and a bit less venting range than Giro's softer in-mold helmets. That's the trade you make for the added shell durability - if you're mostly cruising groomers on Pennsylvania hardpack and never touch the park, a lighter in-mold lid will probably serve you better and you won't be paying for durability you don't need.

Fit & Safety

The In Form Fit System uses a rear dial that gets you up to 6 cm of adjustment, plus vertical tuning so the fit sits right whether your head runs long or round. The dial turns easy with gloves on, which matters on a cold morning at the hill when you're not about to peel your mitts off just to snug up your helmet. Come by any of our three locations and we'll get you dialed in properly - a helmet that's too loose won't do its job right, no matter how good the tech inside it is.
