Update: My son continues to race both track and road using this helmet. It's his practice helmet for the track and his go to for road training and racing. I purchased our 3rd one yesterday because we had another crash resulting in a split helmet. The helmet is busted but my kid walked away with no head injury. This helmet did it's job. Worth EVERY penny.My son races on the velodrome and road in this Helmet. Crashes happen in cycling races (we learned this last year with a split helmet) so knowing he is in a great quality helmet is of utmost importance. I feel a lot more comfortable with him in a MIPS helmet built by one of the most respected helmet brands. I know they have to meet the same standards of certification as others but in looking at a lot of helmets there are only a few that really stand out for quality. The fit is amazingly adjustable. His mother has completed several classes in helmet fitting and loves how simple getting a proper fit is with this helmet. He likes that the helmet is VERY comfortable and that this bright purple can be seen from anywhere on the track!
