This one doesn't look too bad: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/giro-synthe-helmet-mips

I guess after looking at these road racing helmets a lot I am getting used to them. It's a case of form follows function. Is the MIPS technology worth it? How do you keep your head warm when it is cold out there and you're wearing these super ventilated helmets?

MIPS does a lot to protect your head when it hits the ground. At the cost of ~30g I'd say it's worth it.

Normally I find a buff pulled up over my ears does enough to keep my head warm if I'm riding. Caveat: I do have very thick hair.

I've been reading about MIPS and it sounds like it is worth it.
I have a shaved head and I fear these road helmets might not be the best for me.
Anyway I'm torn between the Giro Synthe (MIPS) and Kask Protone (no MIPs but I guess it is a good helmet).
