- What does MIPS add?
- MIPS is a low-friction liner that lets the helmet rotate slightly on impact, which is designed to reduce rotational forces to the head.
- Is it good for trail riding?
- Yes. The deeper rear coverage and visor suit trail and all-mountain riding better than a cross-country race helmet.
- How does it compare with a cross-country helmet?
- It offers more rear coverage and MIPS but weighs more and vents less, so it is warmer on climbs.
- Does the visor adjust?
- The visor is fixed with limited tilt, so it cannot be raised far out of view.
- What size is this?
- This is the large shell. Check Met's size chart against your head circumference, since shell sizing varies by model.
- Can I use it for commuting?
- It works, but the extra coverage and weight make it less ideal than a lighter urban helmet for daily city rides.
- Where is the Met Shelter MIPS Helmet Clay Matte L cheapest?
- At 365Rider, for $90.90, as of our latest check.
