Founded in 1985 in a Santa Cruz garage by Jim Gentes, Giro began with a singular focus: the first lightweight, high-performance adult cycling helmet. Since then, Giro has grown into a global leader in “human-centric” design. Whether it’s a shoe that feels like a second skin, a goggle that expands your peripheral vision, or a helmet that redefines safety, Giro products are born from the dirt and asphalt of California. They believe that the connection between a rider and their gear should be seamless, allowing for total immersion in the ride.
