Why I Chose the Giro Fixture MIPS II - and How It Stacks Up Against $200 Helmets

Integrated MIPS II safety system - the same brain protection found in more expensive helmets. In-mold construction - durable, lighter shell with good impact absorption. Roc Loc Sport Fit System - easy dial adjustment and solid stability. Decent ventilation and padding - comfortable on everyday rides and moderate distances. This is a helmet that's good enough to wear with confidence. For me, that's the bottom line.
