MIPS Evolve
Mips Evolve is designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. By integrating the Mips slip plane into the retention system, we are able to reduce complexity and weight for a compact, better ventilated helmet that fits more closely to the head.
Float Fit
A minimalist, lightweight fit system with an easy-to-turn rubber overmolded dial for adjustments (integrated with Mips®).
Adjustable Visor
Adjustable visor allows for sun protection and easy goggle storage.
No-Twist Tri-Glides
Quick-adjust fasteners that help keep straps flat and properly positioned
Sweat Guide
Sweat Guide pad design pulls moisture away from the brow pad and away from eyewear.
Goggle Gripper
Rubber grip on the back of the helmet keeps your goggle strap in place.
My husband and I did not wear helmets. As my husband started riding more mountain and off road i purchased him a bell 4forty for his off road adventures. He generally only wears it in the woods and even then not all the time (which is fine by me). He says it fits nice and is comfortable and feels very substantial and he is often glad he has it. A few weeks ago I decided to go on a leisurely ride solo. As I was loading my bike I decided to borrow my husbands helmet for the ride since i was headed into town. I tried it on and got it adjusted it was very easy to adjust and comfortable although heavier than my ball cap. During the ride It was so snug and airy i kept forgetting it was on. I did feel Safe And rode more naturally. I always assumed helmets were clumsy and bulky and poor fitting. However I am now considering my own helmet as a little extra protection could never hurt
