Looking For A New Helmet Suggestion

As I mentioned above, the IXS RS is the most comfortable helmet I've ever worn. Great coverage, great ventilation. The brow is a little low and thus can hinder forward visibility while climbing. My 7iDp is second in comfort. Great coverage, good ventilation. And bee mesh.

Ooops, I am repeating myself.

 

Ok, I like the Giro fit so that’s one to try

 

Cool, I tried a TLD A1 MIPS today and really like the fit!

 

Haha, I need the repeat these days

 

Will look it up, some of these are new to me. What do you all think of MIPS,?

 

Truth! I’ll stay away from dark colors for a summer lid! Looking at MIPS versions too! Thanks for the link

 

These are suppose to be good for small noggins....sweet! Thanks for the link

 

BOA, the dial at the back? If so I prefer that too. Never heard of Kali, will look it up! Thanks!

 

Look into them, they are great lids.

I have a MIPS and it's very comfortable. I have not tested it yet.

 

Cool, hope you never have to test it

 

Lifetime crash replacement...what?! That’s awesome

 

Doesn't say FREE replacement.....Or maybe it does. TLdR
.
BOA is usually some type of special wire connected to the dial, more blingy I guess?
.
MIPS are sometimes more bulky. My first one squeaked. And they can have pressure spots also.

Yep and they sometimes look elevated from your head and perhaps a size too big. Supposed to be the latest and greatest and help absorb the blow though so I bought in to it since smacking the noggin against rocks & trees sucks.

 

They have a lifetime warranty.

I've had Kali replace two of mine free of charge. The first they let me upgrade to the new Interceptor. I only had to pay the retail difference. The second was a crash replacement of my crash replacement. Again free of charge. Their version of Mips called LDL works as advertised. I've tested it twice.

 

I assumed it was free..optimistic female

 

Oh, so they do mean free..that’s so awesome!

 

Ya, I’m down for anything that will keep my brain from sloshing around again

 

Can't put a price tag on living to ride another day. Buy the best one that you like.

 

Well, y'know, if you refrain from bouncing your skull off the ground (rock,tree, etc) then your brain will stay still. Just sayin'.

 

Preach it!!

 

Mmhmm, ya, I’ll try....
You know what forum we need here...yoga Teach you guys how to go upside down...THATS good for the brain!

 

.
Lots of companies have crash replacement, have you checked? Maybe your old helmet qualifies....
.

I’ll check right now!

 

Lame, Specialized only offers 20% discount if you bring your crashed lid in. Not a huge fan of the brand anyways.

 

OK Sara. You've impressed us all with your attitude towards your injury, your desire to ride, your energy for posting on the forum. Your wit, charm and commentary. So many other reasons. But this? Saying something negative about Specialized as a brand?

This seals the deal!!!!!

 

Can't say I'm a fan of the TLD A1 MIPS I have. I don't think it fits my noggin' just right. It was free, so I am making it work....but I wouldn't buy another one.

 

As I was reading your post(”but this?...”) I though..oh sh!t, he owns a Specialized! Phew, glad I didn’t ruffle any feathers? I’m honored to be a part of this coo coo mtb community, thanks for the positive, my fellow crazy mtn biker!

 

Haha, free is good!
