BACKCOUNTRY BUCKET
For many of us, hauling a helmet into the backcountry can seem cumbersome and sweaty, but maybe not with the Giro Grid MIPS and women’s equivalent Envi MIPS. Designed specifically for ski touring, the helmets weigh a measly 400 grams and have a liner made from Polartec Power Grid. It’s warm and wicking, pulling sweat away from hot zones so the head stays Goldilocks, even on warm spring climbs. It’s one of the first backcountry-specific lids with MIPS technology, a system that absorbs crash energy to protect the skull. $360; giro.com
