Why We Like The Specialized Tactic 4 MIPS Helmet
The Specialized Tactic 4 MIPS Helmet is built with the perfect combination of comfort, ventilation, and protection for days full of technical singletrack and enduro riding. Thanks to the Integrated Fit System, we can dial in a personalized fit no matter what head shape we have, and the Computational Fluid Dynamic design ensures we get maximum airflow moving through the massive vents so that that heat is drawn away from our head at every speed. And although we hope that no ride ends in a crash, the MIPS Evolve system is integrated into the helmet to lower the amount of energy transferred to our brain in the event of an accident.

best protection rating... (currently)
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
fwiw this helmet currently has the best score from the Virginia Tech helmet testing lab of all the MTB helmets they've tested (and they've tested a lot). their tests ... "Our bicycle helmet impact tests evaluate a helmet's ability to reduce linear acceleration and rotational velocity of the head resulting from a range of impacts a cyclist might experience." This is a highly respected testing lab. They also test helmets for other sports like Hockey, Football, etc.
