POC's Ventral MIPS Helmet ensures protection when we're taking deep dives down winding canyon descents and have cars buzzing by constantly. It's built to provide that security and keep us comfortable more→at the same time. We appreciate the plethora of ventilation ports and the internal airflow design for an airy feel throughout our ride, but we also like the little features like the eye garage for keeping our sunglasses securely stored away. CFD testing means this helmet is optimized with aerodynamic performance, too, so we can ride with wind-slicing speed and minimal turbulence.

From big sweeping berms to gnarly rock gardens, the Smith Engage MIPS Helmet delivers lightweight comfort and protection for our everyday trail adventures. 20 massive vents and AirEvac technology ensu more→re that we don't overheat due to hot air trapped under our helmet, while MIPS and strategically placed zonal Koroyd help protect our domes if we go over the bars. An adjustable dial lets us lock in our perfect fit without developing annoying pressure points and we can even rock our favorite goggles thanks to the dual position visor.

Smith updated the versatile Kids' Scout Jr MIPS Helmet with the Multi-directional Impact Protection System to give greater protection while skiing, snowboarding, and mountain biking. MIPS allows a sma more→ll rotation of the outer shell relative to the liner when heads hit at angled crashes in order to decrease rotational forces. Apart from MIPS, this Scout Jr has the same features and construction as the original Scout Jr. It has all the comfort and safety features needed for rocketing downhill, and is certified for both snow and bike helmet standards.

The Giro Artex MIPS Helmet takes a sleek and compact road-race inspired design, and pairs with a removable visor, substantial ventilation, and extended head coverage that's perfect for trail riding or more→grinding out long miles on mixed surface roads. Add in MIPS technology for added protection against rotational impact forces and you've got a pretty solid helmet for just over $100. Giro constructs the helmet using their In-Mold process that fuses a tough polycarbonate shell to impact-absorbing EPS foam inside the mold, resulting in a lightweight yet strong helmet with extensive ventilation and minimal bulk. On the inside of the EPS liner, Giro uses their Roc Loc 5 Air MIPS retention system for …

We choose the G1 MIPS Helmet for our road rides because the ventilation and aerodynamic profile make it an efficient option for logging miles. 22 total vents keep us cool and Lazer’s Rollsys retention more→system provides a 360degree fit and comfort in a lightweight design that adjusts from the top of the helmet and away from our hair. For added peace of mind, a MIPS layer in the G1 redirects rotational forces in the event of an impact.

Go higher and ski deeper with the Petzl Meteor Helmet, designed specifically with ski mountaineering in mind. Large vents throughout the helmet help circulate air to keep your noggin cool while workin more→g through the crux sequence, and dual adjustments create space for adding a beanie when your core temp cools as you transition to ski out in late spring corn. Petzl worked to gain certifications for ski touring safety and lead falls while climbing to make this helmet the piece-de-la-resistance in any ski mountaineering setup.
