Giro cycling equipment

Giro is a prominent brand in the cycling and snow sports industry, best known for its high-performance helmets and footwear. Founded in 1985 in Santa Cruz, California, Giro revolutionized the market with the introduction of lightweight, ventilated helmets that set new standards for athlete safety and comfort.

Today, Giro operates as a key brand under the ownership of Revelyst, a segment of Vista Outdoor Inc. While the brand maintains its design and engineering roots in California, its manufacturing is largely outsourced to specialized facilities in Asia, particularly China and Vietnam, to meet global demand while maintaining technical precision.

As of 2024 and beyond, Giro remains part of the Revelyst portfolio, focus on outdoor performance gear. The ultimate ownership lies with Vista Outdoor Inc., an American conglomerate headquartered in Anoka, Minnesota, which manages a diverse array of brands in the outdoor recreation and shooting sports categories.
