Linsey Corbin was among the first pro triathletes to have one of these Aerohead helmets, and rumor has it that Michael and Andreas Raelert will also be spotted this summer wearing one of these.

The slowtwitch.com tech editor Tony Vinneau had the Giro Aerohead MIPS already in his hands and here are his first impressions.

“I must admit, my first impression of the wrap around visor on the Giro Aerohead MIPS was that the helmet look a little like something from Star Wars, but Giro certainly hit the mark with performance and feel. The extended visor brilliantly eliminated the need to deal with earflaps when putting on a helmet. It slid on nicely without any manipulation of the helmet or visor. Giro also improved on a common complaint with magnetic visors as the Aerohead uses 6 strong magnets that worked great during the test ride keeping the visor snug. The other side of the coin is that some mind find it difficult to remove the visor while riding. Finally, the helmet had sufficient ventilation in the helmet and visor that I didn’t detect any fog build up after a tough ride at a temperature of 80 F,” said Vienneau.

These new aero helmets however will not be available until the fall. The Aerohead MIPS is scheduled to arrive in August and the fancier Aerohead Ultimate MIPS is coming in September. So patience is required. For those folks who buy the Aerohead MIPS, a travel pod is available for that one separately, while the Ultimate comes standard with one.
