gerriemtb Posted February 17, 2020 Share Hi Guys, I had a fall this weekend that cracked my helmet. Thankfully it did its job, but it needs to be replaced.After reading up on MIPS I am sold on the idea and want a helmet with MIPS. The Giro Fixture and Specialized Tactic III both fall into my budget. Any recommendations on these 2 helmets?Any other helmets at the same/cheaper price point with MIPS that you can recommend? I mostly ride cross country with some technical sections thrown in. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaGearA Posted February 17, 2020 Share I'd go with spez, just because they're clothing has always far surpassed my expectations and been worth their price through and through Duane_Bosch and gerriemtb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOST FACE Posted February 17, 2020 Share Don't overlook Giant. They have 3 road and 2 MTB helmets with MIPS. gerriemtb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_da_brakes Posted February 17, 2020 Share Couldn’t agree more. Choose the one that fits best. I’d go as far as saying don’t buy if you’ve not tried it on.Try both on if you canYour dome will tell you which one is bestEdit: typo Edited February 17, 2020 by Off_da_brakes gerriemtb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 17, 2020 Share I have a Lazer with MIPS, courtesy of my lucky picks in week 3 of the Fantasy Tour... fits well, ventilates well and looks okay. I hope I never have to find out if MIPS is really worth it. gerriemtb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
