Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice brain bucket in helmets

I've had a Giro helmet for 15 years, maybe longer. It's comfortable and has vintage SkulCandy speakers in the ear pockets - great sound! Last year I queued up for the lift with a friend I've never skied with. He speaks very loudly. It was something like, "Oh my god - HOW OLD IS THIS HELMET!" I didn't really think about it much when he started talking about how plastic molds not only break, but get tougher over time. Around the same time 2 guys jam right in front of us and all 3 had this new MIPS technology. It made an impression that I have not forgotten. Back home I did some research and then went to REI to try on some helmets. They didn't have this kit in stock so I ordered it from here. I have a big bowler hat and sometimes XL isn't enough. This sits very comfortably. It's not like I plan on crashing into trees anytime soon, but it's like insurance - it's better to be protected and not need it than .

Pros
  • Dual adjustable climate control
Cons
  • Long delivery time
