A brief review and direct comparison between two of the best $155 MIPS winter sports helmets on the market, the Smith Maze MIPS and the Oakley Mod1 Pro MIPS. Plus I crush a helmet with a minivan, if that’s your thing.
Thanks for the review. I’m actually deciding between Smith Maze/Method or the Oakley Mod1 Pros. Was leaning towards the Mod1s for the Boa fitting, but the vent noise is something I’d never thought of. Also did you find the Mod1 Pros heavy in comparison?
The wind noise is no louder than the sound of the snow underfoot, so it’s not a big deal. I ride with earbuds anyway! I can’t feel the weight difference.
