That looks really nice having just checked out their website.

A couple of questions though:
1. What do they think of the whole MIPS movement, considering that a custom fit would preclude the ability to have a roll cage inside and further might amplify the concussive effect given that the helmet would fit perfectly and so not roll at all?
2. Why aren't they marketing based on the fact that a custom fit would minimise the appearance and make you look less of a knob?

The MIPS question was my first question too! Apparently the impact absorption qualities of their 3d printed honeycomb structure are far superior to the benefits of MIPS in a conventional helmet! I think they're working on some material to show side by side comparative at the moment?

I'll pass on the info re: knob reduction factor also, it's a very good point! It's actually a really nice looking product! I'll be getting one myself once my current Bell needs replacing...

But MIPS isn't about impact absorption, it's about stopping a roll happening on the skull that leads to concussive damage to the brain.

MIPS is about allowing the helmet to roll independently of the skull to reduce that concussive effect.
