Following an incident with a car v Kask Protone I'm in the market for a new helmet and was considering the RH+ Lambo in either standard or MIPs configuration. Anyone got one as struggling to find any reviews on line?

    Kask UK distributor used to do crash replacement. But it's against RRP so not awfully cheap but may still be cheaper than the RH+

    If you really want MIPS, and it is very good, the Giro Cinder MIPS is currently cheap. Provided it fits, naturally.

    TBH I didn't find the Protone that good a fit and was looking to change soon, my old Mojito being a much better fit. The interaction with the road and a car has sped that process up.

    The Lambo is available for around £90 and the MIPS version for around £120, both being significantly cheaper than the Protone. I just can't find any decent reviews or UK stockists to go try one. Suppose it'll be a case of buy one and hope it isn't a mistake. I was thinking the MIPs was a gimmick, the opinions of it being varied around the internet.

    For me the MIPS tends to raise the helmet off your head slightly and increase comfort overall. So worth having.
