About this deal

The Giro Foray helmet looks great and with the colour and size options there is something for everyone. While it lacks some high-end luxuries found on the most expensive models, it makes up for it with low weight, good comfort and ventilation, and all-around solid performance. Unfortunately we cannot consider an item to be lost until 15 working days has passed (according to Royal Mail procedure). Designed to slide within the helmet reducing rotational forces on the head and neck, it's a simple system but pretty effective.

Like the Synthe, the Foray is made using Giro's In-Mold construction which uses an ESP (Expanded Polystyrene) liner that is 'fused' with a Polycarbonate shell. Utilising the MIPS® (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System), the Giro Foray MIPS Helmet features the Roc Loc 5 System with a two way adjustable fit.Now in its fifth iteration it works really well and cradles the head comfortably and securely with plenty of adjustment. Those vents gulp in air, creating a cooling flow over the top of the head, while the 11 rear vents (one fewer than the Synthe) vent out hot air generated by your efforts. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Giro's chinstrap Y-buckles can easily be adjusted to be either lower down by the chin or higher up by the ears. Giro applies their latest bike helmet technologies to deliver a cycling helmet that's aerodynamic and functions perfectly whatever you ride.

A lightweight, comfortable, well-ventilated helmet with a built-in MIPS liner, this lid stands out for its amazing value.That being said, this really if a very good helmet which I have no hesitation in recommending to anyone from a 'new to cycling' rider to a 'been cycling for years' rider. This wasn't a deal-breaker for our testers, but for riders with head shapes and sizes that don't perfectly align with the shape of the helmet liner, this could lead to an awkward fit or uncomfortable pressure points.

We still think the minimal weight and cost increase are a worthy sacrifice for including a MIPS liner, which is becoming an increasingly common feature on all types of helmets for all types of sports.However, this lid comes without some design features found on some of the more expensive models in our lineup, so while our testers were able to dial in a comfortable fit, riders with other head shapes and sizes might not be able to dial it in so perfectly. With a similar looking design and similar features as Giro's pricier flagship models, the Foray would make an excellent choice for riders willing to sacrifice only some of the highest-end features for a solid all-around helmet that won't break the bank. The Foray MIPS drafts off the bold design language of our premium Synthe helmet, and offers many of our key features including durable In-Mold construction and the Roc Loc 5 fit system with two-way fit adjustment. The Foray is also a more compact design than the Synthe, sitting more atop the head rather than wrapping around it, although the 55-59cm range of fitment for my size M helmet is bang-on, as I’ve always found Giro helmets to be. Which, as the name suggests, adds an extra layer of safety with the inclusion of a MIPS inner liner.

Undoubtedly the first thing to notice is that the overall design of the Giro Foray cycle helmet is incredibly like its older and more established sibling, the Synthe. Metropolis International Group Limited, 10th Floor, Southern House, Wellesley Grove, Croydon, CR0 1XG. Whether you're just getting started or an experienced climber, whatever your adventure needs, we have the gear.With Roc Loc 5, you can easily dial-in both fit tension and adjust vertical position with a single hand. The Foray MIPS also has the same adjustable Y-buckles as on Giro's higher-end helmets which makes dialing in the right fit and tension a breeze. Whilst the ventilation system is impressive, unfortunately the foam padding at the front of the helmet is split into right and left sections and did little to prevent the sweat from dripping out of the helmet and into my eyes. The Foray MIPS comes with the same type of chinstraps and adjustable Y-buckles as Giro's more expensive top-tier helmets.
