Alright, after looking up the safety rating of my current helmet (a concerning 3 stars) I pulled the trigger on the Spez Align II MIPS.

Picked it up this morning, I like it so far

Malini ? Is it Available in Royal Blue ?

Thanks, noted: I did voice-mail contact Paul M, of Leatt, to clarify, etc.

Shot thanks that will be helpful if he could reply.

It performed very well. At the price point I’d agree with Jewie that it’s the best bang for the buck

I strongly suspect Leatt Corp /helmets were not TESTED for this report; maybe Paul M. of Leatt can comment?
 

Leatt is a SA Company that was then globalised (?), unsure of their HELMET Int’l presence; whereas their neck-brace international availability is well known…

Cheers
