Mips vs helmet fit

Hello, after some time using a Giro Synthe helmet, I have been looking for a new helmet. I wanted a helmet with MIPS protection or similar, like WaveCel etc.

After trying different helmets I found the Kask Mojito 3 to have a perfect fit for me, better than most MIPS helmets I tried, including high ennd models.

So the question is: what´s most important for safety?, fit or Mips features?

    Fit is the most important factor with a helmet. If a helmet doesn't fit your head properly it will be uncomfortable to wear and you won't want to have it on your head.

    I use Scott Cadence plus helmets - they are mips, and the fit is just perfect for the shape of my bonce.

    Admittedly it isn't THE lightest, but because the fit is so good, I completely forget I have it on.
