Review: Giro Ethos Mips helmet – innovative helmet with front and rear LED strips that double up as indicators controlled by a handlebar-mounted button cycling GiroCyclingUK
The Giro Ethos Mips Helmet is a well-thought-out and functional commuter helmet with a few unusual extras thrown into the mix. In addition to the now-familiar Mips lining – designed to reduce rotational of your brain if you crash – Giro has also added front and rear lights that double up as indicators. Giro has clearly made a top-notch helmet for those of us who ride in built-up areas, but the price could be a problem for some.
First off, having lights at the very top of your head when you're riding makes you very visible to other road users, as no matter how high or long someone's bonnet is, they will always be able to see your head when you are near them. The indicator function is well thought out too, with a tap on the left or right button of the remote setting off that side's indicator, using Bluetooth to connect to your lid's LEDs.
Safety is obviously a key factor in the design of any helmet, and this is also true of this Giro. It includes aliner, which I love, and it's lower at the back than most bike helmets, in a similar vein to a mountain bike helmet. You'll get between two and a half hours and 11 hours depending on the output you choose. The high output delivers 45 lumens at the front and 30 at the rear, with 25 and 10 lumens if you drop down. I personally used it in the low flashing mode most of the time, as this gave the longest run time.
