ChrisF Posted December 8, 2023 Share Only had one .... wrecked it on 11 March .... was a mad scramble to find a replacement minutes before CWC closed to have a helmet for the Argus on 12 March .... Thus my approach now is AT LEAST TWO helmets ... 😛 Bichael Dewing and Rudi33 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have one cycling helmet at a time On the motorbike I have a collection of 6 already purchased over a period of 2 1/2 years ... granted 3 of those helmets are for other persons use. Given the above, I need a new cycling helmet too now ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive built whole bikes around a rogue stem or BB lying around in the garage. An extra helmet is a perfectly good reason for n+1 Chadvdw67, peetwindhoek, Scary Rider and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Kashima. I've had several helmets with it. My current MTB helmet (Spez Ambush 2) has it, but my road helmet (Giro Agilis) does not. Do I think the Ambush is safer? Yes, but because it's much larger with much more coverage, not because it has MIPS. Oh, back to the topic: There are 4 helmets in my gear cupboard, 2 of which are actively used.

I feel for head protection even if it’s slightly more protection, it’s probably worth it.. but also, with mips I think comes more comfort as I found when trying things on.. the mips helmets and the increased price point, just seemed to fit better, be better designed and are better quality..
