Scott Arx Mips CE Helmet

The Mips system gives me real peace of mind on fast gravel descents, and the ventilation keeps my head cool even on long climbs in the summer heat. It's light enough that I forget I'm wearing it after the first mile.

The ventilation through the Arx is fantastic—my head stays noticeably cooler than with my old helmet, even on long climbs. The Mips system gives me real peace of mind on fast descents, and the fit is snug without any pressure points.

The fit runs a bit snug around the temples even after adjusting the dial, but the Mips liner adds a level of security I appreciate on rougher gravel descents. It's a decent helmet for the price, though I wish the straps were a touch easier to adjust mid-ride.
