Simple Poll. Helmets. Do you use them or no?

I don't think it relates to ASTM at all. MIPS is an independent standard designed for impacts at an angle, allowing the inner shell to rotate so as to attenuate the impact and concussion risk. AFAIK the standard tests for helmets (ASTM, CSA...) are direct hits that test the structural integrity of the helmet.

Thanx, this clears things up a little. I know there are very few helmets in this category, Hawk also mentioned that Giro would have a MIPS approved helmet next year. I can only hope this catches on so we all have more/better choices...

No problem! Amazing price... couldn't believe how cheap it was. If you go to Berns website, they sell helmet inserts with Bluetooth audio and wired earpads too. Lots of kids have them now.
