2. Información de seguridad

Your GIRO Taggert Mips AF helmet is designed to reduce the risk of head injury. However, no helmet can protect against all possible impacts. Always ride within your abilities and be aware of your surroundings.

Mips Technology:

The Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a low-friction layer integrated into the helmet. In certain angled impacts, the Mips system can reduce the amount of rotational force that may be transferred to the rider's brain. This is an additional layer of protection designed to work with the helmet's existing safety features.

• Always wear your helmet correctly fastened.
• Do not modify your helmet in any way.
• Reemplace su casco después de cualquier impacto significativo, incluso si no hay daños visibles aparentes.
• Avoid exposing the helmet to extreme heat (e.g., inside a hot car), as this can damage the liner.

Fitting Your Helmet:

1. Place the Helmet: Position the helmet squarely on your head, ensuring it covers your forehead without obstructing your vision.
2. Adjust the Fit System: El Taggert Mips AF features the In Form 2 Dial Fit System. Locate the dial at the back of the helmet.
