We don’t let the low-profile design of the Windham WaveCel Helmet fool us—there’s a lot going under that sleek shell to protect our noggin while we get in our laps. The WaveCel lining technology features an advanced structure of interlocking cells that provide the rotational impact protection of a MIPS helmet, as well as linear protection—meaning all angles are covered. That coupled with the fine-tuned adjustment system and a comfy fleece lining makes the Windham an easy choice, all season long.

The new Giro Terra MIPS Hemet is sleek, lightweight, and has all the necessary features to keep you comfortable when you're out on the mountain all day. The MIPS technology works by allowing two liners to move independently of each other when the helmet is subject to force, reducing rotational energy during certain impacts. An in-mold construction, which fuses the outer shell to the foam liner, keeps the Terra lightweight and allows more thorough ventilation. Giro's Passive Aggressive Venting System adds to this by combining the exterior vent design with interior channeling that lets cool air flow when you're in motion, and lets warm air escape through the top of the helmet if you're standing still. A low-profile dial adjustment ensures you can easily customize your fit on the go for a solid, performance-oriented feel.

And thanks to an abundance of adjustable ventilation, the entire mountain is yours to explore—open them up to cool off on traverse or bootpack, then snap them shut when you're back on the wind-whipped ski lift. A soft, fuzzy lining ensures next to skin comfort, but if you like riding with a beanie beneath, one spin of the fit dial will open up some room.

Giro's new freestyle-oriented Emerge MIPS Helmet utilizes MIPS Spherical to reduce rotational energy during certain impacts. Two layers of foam with different densities work to manage both high and low energy impacts by moving independently of each other when they are subjected to force.
