Bell Super 3R MIPS Helmet

The Bell Super 3R MIPS Helmet is a great helmet for those who want stability and face protection for burlier rides, but who are not ready to invest in a fully downhill rated piece. This helmet is lighter than DH rated ones, and the removable chin guard makes it very versatile for every day use or more intense rides, with ventilation on the head and chin that makes it suitable for all climates. One thing this helmet excels at is the customizable fit, with the option to take out some or all of the padding in the chin and the easy to use knob adjustment system on the head, although those with larger heads wish it came in an XL size.

Troy Lee Designs A2 MIPS Helmet

The Troy Lee Designs A2 MIPS Helmet is breathable, comfortable, and one of the most-thoroughly designed helmets out there when it comes to safety. With dual-density foam, MIPS technology, and a break-away visor, it is designed to redistribute and neutralize impact from both fast and slow crashes. While comfortably padded, the helmet does not sacrifice on ventilation, with efficient vents and a lightweight feel. Common complaints are about the visor, which does not allow space for goggles, while also not sitting quite well enough to block out low sun.
