Demon Podium MIPS Helmet https://www.ebay.ca/itm/384013677325?var=652302158774 I have that helmet. I can't say how it compares with others in an impact, but I find it comfortable, and it's good value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Planemo Posted January 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2022 I just landed an IXS Trigger FF. Very happy with it, just did a vid which focus' primarily on sizing as there are quite a few general review vids already on YT. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using IXS Trigger FF Mips (EN 1078, ASTM F1952, Fidlock) for about a half a year and I am very happy with it. I bought it because of the dial adjuster, low weight, chin guard, Mips, EN 1078, ASTM F1952 and Fidlock. I can use it with and without my ski hat. I can also use the glasses without any problems. Overall, a very good helmet. I have made a post about most popular MTB helmets out there. So that anyone can find a proper helmet. It is organized by the weight. The weight is perhaps the first thing that the one looks for. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Yeah I knew a MIPS was available but I'm not sold on the system so I was happy to go without it. Both are great helmets though, well happy with mine. Just need the summer now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in the winter I would choose something warmer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rawnei Posted February 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2022 For winter and autumn riding I'm now using the Shark Evojet that I got at the end of the summer, I also have an integrated Sharktooth Prime bluetooth audio/intercom system which produces decent sound, it's very nice to have both music and phonecalls intergrated into the helmet. The helmet had issues with fogging but since I got a WeePro insert for it I have no more issues and can ride hours on end without fogging (it doesn't have pinlock support or I would have gone for that). Super happy with this helmet, good ventilation, it doesn't feel heavy it feels well balanced, the hybrid visor is great, with the visor pulled down you have a really good FOV both horizontal and vertical, with visor pulled up you still have good side protection and can talk to fellow riders and don't have to take it off if you are in the store etc, very very nice helmet to wear it just doesn't work for warmest part of the summer it would get too hot but I use it now for all other seasons. Recommend, thumbs up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular and MIPS versions have different internals. No wonder their sizing is little different. My beanie is really thin (180 g/m2). Thicker beanie didn't fit (430 g/m2). In the video you didn't mention anything about the vertical adjustment. At least the MIPS version can be adjusted to 3 or 4 internal heights. This together with dial adjuster makes this helmet to fit any head shape. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Yeah you're right I didn't mention it (forgot), theres 3 positions of vertical adjuster in mine. I tried all 3 but found the best one was the middle which is how it is supplied. I appreciate that MIPS uses totally different internals, but I would have thought that sizing remained the same. Doesn't seem to be the case though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Coast Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Any thoughts on this helmet for the summer? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097Z1VTN2 Do you think it's better than https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GT7BWL3 for reading max 31 MPH?

Edit: or do you suggest anyone helmet that has more ventilation? Both are extremely comparable. Both have mips and ventilation. I have one similar to the Bell. I think that whichever fits better or simply looks better to you, would be the winner. 31mph is kind of vague. If its 31mph with a direct hit to a brick wall, I think youll fare poorly and your head wont be the only issue. 31mph and hit by a 90mph car would also be pretty unlucky. However, 31mph at a glancing blow from 5 foot, into a short slide and another glancing blow off a curb... Either helmet should suffice. No matter what, either would probably be better than nothing. I dont mind my bell, tho it does impair vision just a hair. Admittedly, I like it most when Im riding around and its on my shelf at home...

Buy once, cry once. Both will offer good protection. They also wont be too hot. I can remove the chin on mine, but it kind of defeats the purpose of wearing it at all, imho. If you eventually find yourself wanting warmer helmet or something with substantially more protection... you'll be buying a quality and tight fitting motorcycle helmet. Fwiw, I tend to think the MTB helmet is adequate for most euc use. I have a quality racing moto helmet, and its just a bit much imho. Doesnt hurt to have it tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troy Lee helmet is downhill certified (ASTM F1952), meaning it will give you some more impact protection than the Bell Super 3R, which only has the regular bicycle certification. A lot of people like to look for the downhill certification for 20+mph riding. 2 hours ago, East Coast said: Edit: or do you suggest anyone helmet that has more ventilation? Unless you've already had problems with helmet ventilation I think these would all be fine. These bike helmets are supposed to keep people cool while they're pedaling hard, so there's probably more than enough ventilation for someone who's standing and leaning back and forth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Cyclists would generate a lot more body heat than an EUC rider. Heat transfers from higher to lower. On hot days, an enclosed helmet might be better/cooler for an EUC rider, as the foam/insulation is preventing radiant/convection heat from reaching the head. A ventilated helmet would not prevent heat from reaching the head. There might be more heat from the environment than from the head. The body heat an enclosed helmet traps.....might be much less than the heat trying to penetrate on a hot sunny summer day. Think of the thick, heavy protective clothing that firemen wear. It protects them from the external heat source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It protects them from the external heat source. Have you ridden with both ventilated and enclosed helmets in hot temps?! Ventilated will win, every time. EUC or bicycle. And firefighters use their kit to stop themselves burning to a crisp, not to keep cool. Totally different scenario. The air movement through a ventilated helmet like a Proframe will always allow more heat to drain from the head than any increase there may be from direct sunlight getting through the vents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
