Why We Like The Impala MIPS Helmet

When it comes to the Savannah, impalas make for some of the quickest and most graceful creatures to call the bush-land home. They have a knack for speed, hairpin turns, and soaring beyond rough terrain, and rowdy predators. Much like its namesake, the Impala MIPS Helmet from Lazer is ready to take to the trail at mach speeds, cook it into banked berms, and turn around and push up hairpin switchbacks, except this time instead of grazing on a meadow of grasses, the Impala MIPS grazes past other climbers, while offering next level ventilation for scorching days. That's because it's built with twenty-two large vents that channel air to your scalp, while an adjustable visor protects you from harsh sunlight. The helmet features polycarobate in-mold construction that absorbs the bulk of impacts, and adds in MIPS technology to help dissipate certain rotational forces. Extended coverage around the ear and back of head give you a little more protection for trail riding, and an Advanced Turnfit System provides 360-degree adjustments — both horizontally and vertically. Because details matter, the Impala MIPS comes equipped with an included camera mount, and plenty of space for goggle parking after a particularly rowdy enduro day.

Finally! I love this helmet!

I purchased the small matte light blue but had previously purchased a medium elsewhere. The medium felt a bit large, but I could have worn either with the adjustment. I liked the smaller profile of the small so am sticking with that. Anyhow, I do not personally feel they run small. I have almost given up seeking a helmet that both looks decent and fits but isn't huge. POC helmets make me look like I have an alien head. I have loved the Bell Super Helmet fit but haven't seen any new colors I like. I am really glad this one fits. I did also order another style Lazer helmet in a "Small/Medium", and it my head looked huge. This fits quite nicely. I also love the color options...so sick of black helmets.

Lightweight and great for mops

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

This is a nice lightweight helmet that has a very solid construction, the venting keeps me cool and I dont get drippy sweat when its real hot! Its great if you have alot of hair but I would size up, as I am usually a medium in TLD,smith, and giro. I got a medium and its just a bit snug. Still very comfy!

This is a great helmet! It feels very light and fits snuggly. I like the adjustable visor, and it has lots of vent. The dial in the back is easily adjustable for a secure fit. I like that it comes with a light and GoPro mount to fit on top if you want. I tend to fit right on the upper end of the size small helmets and often debate between small or medium. I got this one in small, and it just barely fits. It likely fits just a tad small to size, but I think the medium would have been too big for me!

Great if it fit

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

Would be perfect if it fit my head. I think my head is more round shaped? Pretty wide. Giro helmets I have worn fit real nice. This is just too tight above the ears got some pressure points in that area. If I had the head for this helmet I would love it. Seems really breathable, lots of vents, looks good, dial is easy and quick to adjust. I normally stick sunglasses upside down somewhere in the back vents, could be the shades I tried but I couldn't find a comfortable or sturdy way to store them with the vents on here

Riding with the Impala

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

The Lazer Impala is a great helmet so far. Admittedly I haven't used it yet in the heat but the extra venting allows for more breathability and keeps the helmet feeling light and good addition to my gear for Arizona riding. I like the adjustable visor which has come in handy keeping the sun off of my eyes on westward evening ascents. I have a POC Ventral Air as well and this one feels more solid in the build, as far as it's construction and adjustable fit dials in the back. Aesthetically, the helmet looks good and doesn't feel too big on my head. I got the Matte Blue Green, but I like the look of the Red/White version as well. All in all a solid helmet.

I have used this helmet several times now. The helmet fits great and the adjustment system is very sturdy feeling to get that perfect fit on your head. The padding inside the helmet is also super comfortable making it feel like it is barely there. Adding onto that is the lightweight and lower profile of the helmet making it feel and look good on your head. A nice benefit is the included gopro mount so if you do get out at night you have an easy mounting point for a light. Overall a great fitting and feeling helmet!

Looks Good

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

A helmet that fits great with a nice low profile. You will forget this helmet is on your head, and it won't make you look like a cartoon Martian. The fit is slightly oval in my opinion, and true to size. It sits fairly deep but still leaves plenty of room for any size sunglasses. The visor adjusts so that you can stow your glasses in the helmet if needed. A nice add on is the included light/gopro mount. It can be removed, or integrated seamlessly. This is a 5 star helmet all the way!

I have had this helmet for a couple of weeks now and I love it! It vents well and the tightening system works really well to keep the helmet down snug. I have a lot of hair so a good tightening system is key for my helmets they have to be able to tighten down enough to keep the helmet snug without making it uncomfortable with all my hair. I do want to echo what previous reviews have mentioned, the strap is a bit on the short side so if you are in-between sizes I would size up to give you that extra room.

Overall Superslick helmet! Love this fit, feels like it's wrapped around my head instead of just placed on top. The DIal on the back really holds my head well. Also came with a light/GoPro mount that fits on the top. Can not recommend the helmet enough!

Great all-around MTB helmet!

I'm a big fan of this helmet. First of all, the color options are great to match most any kit. The fit is accurate with the sizing chart and works well for my oval head shape. I will say that compared to my previous IXS helmet, this one looks larger on my head. Maybe that's because my old helmet doesn't have MIPS. It all evens out and looks good when you're on the bike though. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, the chin strap is not the best quality, fit, or feel. Compared to my old IXS, it feels cheaper and doesn't have any soft-touch cover over the excess strap material below the chin. Overall, the helmet is still an upgrade from my old helmet, with safer MIPS, and although it's a larger overall size, it is still lightweight. I also really like the adjustable visor - very helpful in low-angle light! For the price, this is a top-level helmet that any level of rider will love!
