Perfect helmet with MIPS technology at an unbeatable price. I was looking for a helmet with MIPS and with extended protection of the back of the head and temple area, which this helmet has. I was deciding between a bmx helmet, but those are worse ventilated. Or an mtb, but those are more robust and I don't ride trails. And I also didn't want to spend two kilos or more for a helmet.
Automatically translatedAnd this helmet is exactly that “hybrid.” Something between a road/tour and a mtb helmet. Moreover, this helmet has an ideal size adjustment range for me. I have a small head and most manufacturers offer a range for size S 51/52-54, which is “ltt” for me and with a hat in winter it is already small. And size M is already big again.
So the size fit me as expected. The helmet is comfortable, nothing presses on me anywhere and it is very well ventilated. The helmet has rubberized holes for storing glasses, so the glasses hold well and without fear of losing them even in worse terrain or on good quality roads in Slovenia. The linings are of course removable and can be washed.
Although the helmet doesn't have a magnetic closure and an insect screen, which I would have liked... At least the screen. On the other hand, for a really great price you get a comfortable helmet with MIPS and higher head protection than road or tour helmets offer.
And I am very pleased that manufacturers have also offered this hybrid helmet with higher protection on the market, which is ideal not only for gravel and does not require wearing robust MTB or less ventilated BMX helmets. ?

I finally found a helmet that fits my head perfectly, doesn't press anywhere, and I'm happy with how it looks on the bump on my neck
Automatically translatedAll the helmets I've had so far have seemed too big on my head, even though I had a good size, this one fits and isn't too bulky. The ventilation is okay, it's not a complete Emmental, so in the summer you sweat, but that's part of the sport and in weather below 20°C it's perfect.
There are holes for glasses, and they are treated with a rubber anti-slip coating and the glasses fit perfectly in them. However, the problem is that if you put the helmet on your head with your glasses in, the glasses legs push into my head. So I only use them to put my glasses away when my helmet is off. I tried turning the glasses around and also a different type but always the same ?

A nice looking and well-made helmet, MIPS looks robust, not as fluffy as I have in my Trek Velocis helmet. It fits well, it is well ventilated. I want to point out one thing: my head size is 58, the helmet fits me just right, but I can't get a summer hat over the helmet. Therefore, with a head size of 58, I recommend choosing a larger helmet size.

A great-fitting helmet, even for a larger head. It's been hit a lot and everything is as it should be. It looks great too (although it feels a bit more robust, which is no problem for me).

A very good helmet for gravel and MTB.
Automatically translatedThe helmet fits perfectly from the first time you put it on – it doesn't press, it fits well with cycling glasses and it doesn't move while riding. I appreciate the convenient adjustment system and the ability to easily attach glasses when climbing – they hold firmly and don't move.
A big plus for the MIPS technology and excellent ventilation, in the summer you can feel the draft even at slower speeds.
One star down for the lack of an insect screen - when riding in the forest or on dirt roads, insects sometimes get into the helmet.
Overall, a very high-quality and well-thought-out helmet that won't get lost even on longer adventure trips.
