Troy Lee Designs A1 MIPS Vertigo helmet


The fit, protection and styling of the A1 have made it a firm favourite in the MBUK office and now TLD have added the MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) to the helmet.

It’s basically a thin plastic liner inside the shell, which helps to separate your head from rotational forces in the event of a crash. It’s a technology that’s been around for a while but it’s the first time it’s been featured on a TLD lid. If the Vertigo graphics seen here aren’t your cup of tea then don’t worry, the A1 MIPS is available in more subtle Drone colourways too. Our medium/large lid weighs 390g.

Price 240$
