Would be good to mention that there are 3 adjustable placements for the back tension strap. Still nowhere near as convenient as boa adjustments, but works perfectly fine for me.
im glad you wrote that. I just wanted to buy that helmet ... but hell nooooo ... i didnt think there are recent helmets without the adjustment knob behind your head (appearently called boa adjustment 😅 )
@@ls2011schorsch just crashed hard yesterday with this helmet at around 18mph. The semi-unrestricted fit of this helmet probably saved my freaking life. Felt the helmet spun instead of my head. That was crazy!!
@@matt.rraw. well we are talking about completly different things right ? Boa adjustment or "the know behind your head" is one thing. I want to be able to adjust the tightness of the strap around my head. The MIPS feature is the other technology in the helmet. It does what you reportet. Let the helmet spin around your head a bit when you fall. But you can have the MIPS feature in addition to the adjustment know at the back of your head. Soo i chose the Gyro Ledge MIPS (FS)
@@ls2011schorsch if my helmet was any tighter during the crash, I'm sure I would have twisted my neck with it. I think it may be fair to look at the helmet as a whole system rather than singular features but hey, I still wish they develop the same helmet with the BOA system and overall safety features.
