    The Aether not yet available and is going to be at £300. the Synthe is good (I have 2) but the Kask Protone is as good (I have one). But, what do they look like on you? None of mine are MIPS as I got mine before this became 'in'

    As above - you need to wear them to see if they're comfy. If you're thinking about a £260 helmet then you're a marketeers dream.

    Don't Giro make a £50 MIPS helmet, get that one
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    I still love the Synthe. I have a Firechrome one now instead.

    The Foray is bloody good and the MIPS system elevates it a bit because it keeps it off your head. It's not quite as comfortable as the Synthe overall though. But a bargain.

    Had a Protone and didn't find it as comfortable as my old Mjoito. Now using a Salice Levante. Comfortable and aero, but the downer is no glasses dock. The Abus Gamechanger looks a good helmet and is comfortable.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.
