The original all-mountain helmet is now updated to offer greater fit and function while providing the same trusted protection for long days anywhere on the mountain.
Featuring an updated interior to refine both fit and comfort, and coming complete with Mips rotational impact protection, the helmet offers comfort and security on the longest days on the mountain.
Thicker padding around the helmet brim and crown gives a softer, more cushioned feel at the contact points between the helmet and head. Improvements to the helmet's 360° fit system and cradle adjuster make it even easier to find a secure fit.
Designed to be worn with or without ear pads, the Fornix Mips features a highly adjustable chin strap with adjusters inspired by cycle helmets. The strap provides comfort and flexibility regardless of whether the ear pads are attached. The ear pads are soft and flexible, offering comfort and warmth when temperatures drop or winds rise.
Classic design details on the helmet, like the integrated aramid bridges for enhanced penetration protection, a goggle clip, and adjustable ventilation, continue to provide comfort and security every time you take to the mountains.
