GIRO VANQUISH MIPS
£219.99 Used by Jan Frodeno, the Vanquish MIPS is unique among the competition here as it comes with a magnetic Shield Visor. There’s good clarity but a clear gap between face and visor, which gave us concerns over detritus flicking up. Which is a shame, as the helmet itself offers sound ventilation via its 10 well-placed vents, there’s MIPS appeal and huge comfort from the Roc Loc system (the buckle is fiddly, however). The wind tunnel results saw it place second behind the S-Works (it was best at 0° yaw, 35km/h in the low aero position), and it doesn’t feel like a 355g helmet when riding. zyrofisher.co.uk
