We live for the all-day rides, carving our way up dramatic canyons, cruising through miles of wild vineyards, and along coastal highways — but admittedly, we're not always so lucky to have the time. O more→ften times we're limited to our daily commute to get in the weekday miles, and crave equipment that is versatile enough to bounce back and forth from one to the other. Designers at Smith seem to have received our asks, and answered thoroughly with the Smith Network MIPS Helmet. All new for 2018, the Network Helmet finds an uncanny balance of style, versatility, and performance, packing in MIPS and Koroyd technology to protect, with modern design and ventilation to keep you looking, and feeling co…

Extensive coverage meets superior ventilation with the POC Coron Air MIPS. It's a helmet that's been in our gear closet for a while, and we choose it over most full-face helmets when we're racing down more→the mountain and putting it all on the line. See, while most full-face helmets are built with an EPS liner that's really only rated for a single impact, the POC Coron is built with a tough fiberglass shell and a multiple-impact EPP liner. This gives us an extra level of protection so we can keep charging through the riding season with confidence. For the most recent model, POC phases out their SPIN technology in favor of a MIPS liner to protect against lower-speed rotational impact forces.

When we're on the wall, the last thing we want to be worried about is our noggin's safety. Luckily, the Syncro Helmet offers hefty protection to absorb impact outside of not sending.

While full face helmets undoubtedly provide more protection than their half-dome siblings, it often comes with a penalty in the weight department. IXS' Trigger Full-Face aims to remove the weight deba more→te from your helmet choice, providing all of the tech you want at a minuscule weight.

Style never quits. Giro knows that, and that's why they made the Bexley MIPS Helmet. It reaches the height of technology and aesthetics with the result being a top-tier urban cycling helmet with an in more→tegrated rear light for added visibility. And, did we mention the retractable eyeshield? That bad boy will keep the sun out of our eyes and the wind off our faces so we can ride in comfort.

Our kids ski and they want a comfortable helmet just like us, so we outfit them with the Smith Glide MIPS Helmet. This helmet has a nice fuzzy interior so our kiddos stay warm while staying safer with more→the added MIPS shell.
