The Isode MIPS Helmet from Giro is proof that you don't have to spend a fortune to get a great looking helmet with some impressive safety features. Featuring a streamlined shape and technology we're u more→sed to seeing on helmets that cost twice as much, the Isode is quite comfortable on your noggin and its multitude of vents will keep your head from overheating too. Using Giro's In-Mold construction, it keeps the weight to a minimum and improves the durability of the shell. Adjusting the fit on the fly is extremely easy to do with the one-handed dial adjustment of its Roc Loc Sport MIPS system. Furthermore, the MIPS technology is designed to help dissipate energy during certain forms of impacts …

Whether we're climbing that winding, windy mountain pass or busting out miles on a hot summer day, the Ventral Air MIPS Helmet keeps us cool with a whole host of ventilation ports that enhance airflow more→for our ride. POC built the Ventral Air to provide a more aerodynamic profile and minimize drag with its design. Its fully-wrapped unibody shell construction and EPS liner keep the helmet exceptionally lightweight. An eye garage makes for secure specs storage, and a lightweight size adjustment system guarantees a customized fit.

Riding and commuting around the city calls for the Smith Express MIPS Helmet for all our quick trip needs. This safety-focused helmet is what we're wearing from the grocery store to the gym and has fe more→atures to match. The pop-in rear light helps us be easily spotted while out and about, and the MIPS system reduces rotational forces in the event of a crash.

When we head to the resort, we strap Smith's Level Helmet to our dome every time we click in. This is one of Smith's newer, lighter helmets designed with a hybrid Aerocore construction and honeycomb-s more→haped Koroyd inserts to increase levels of protection while minimizing weight. The hybrid construction combines tough ABS with flyweight in-mold technology for a light, protective fit.

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.

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…
