POC Ventral Air mips (road) or Smith Venture mips (MTN) the POC is great except do not get the flat black, it scratches so easily it might as well be painted with powdered sugar. The Smith I’ve had for years and the adjustment strap is held together with the zipper pull from a coat. It was meant to be a trail side fix, but worked so well I never got a new plastic piece. Edit: NOT the chin strap, the part that connects to the ratchet🤣

I hate to be that guy, but putting stickers on your helmet could potentially affect how it protects you in the event of a crash. I don’t know whether there’s any substantial evidence it will, but climbing helmet manufacturers were discouraging it a few years ago because of perceived hazards.
I say this as a guy who often doesn’t wear a helmet depending on where/when/how/what I’m riding. So take it with a grain of salt, and feel free to keep rocking stickers, just make smart choices and weigh the risks for yourself.
Btw, when I do rock a helmet, it’s a white giro MIPS. I have a tiny head, and it was the only one that fit reasonably well and was still somewhat comfy.

Neon green Giro something or other MIPS helmet that I sprayed with black plastidip paint. The paint is chipping and peeling and exposing the green underneath so It looks cool to me.
Pro-tec Full Cut for woodsy singletrack mtb stuff. I don’t own a modern mtb so It works with all my 90s steel mtb tomfoolery by fitting the part

I have a huge head, so my options are limited. I have a Smith with MIPS currently. It does not have an Urban Roots sticker on it, though I wish it did.

10 dollar bell helmet from an out of business sporting good store. Peak cool
Right now I just use my MTB helmet, a Smith Forefront 2. I really want one of these for Winter, but I haven’t looked for a way to get one in the states.
Hey ! Just so you know : The chemicals in stickers glue can affect helmet efficiency + it’s not ideal if you need to do a scan of your head with the helmet !
Cheers !

MET Trenta mips. It had a good rating in the Virginia Texh website.
My helmet is a replacement as the original was smashed in a stupid crash and the UK distributor offers a replacement with a discount.
The original was in metallic blue and the current is beige.

I just upgraded to that triple 8 for my kiddo as well. Great piece of armor man!

FOX speedframe. Only one that doesn’t make me look like a mushroom from Super Mario.

Got a good deal on a fox racing mainframe. Excellent fit for my deep oval dome.
A very unexciting and unadorned gray Gyro or Bell.
I dig the Bike Dog sticker.
Whatever Mips helmet I can find cheapest, because I keep on getting them stolen. I don’t lock them, because who would steal a helmet? I don’t learn.
Met Terranova MIPS (MTB), Met Downtown MIPS, Specialized Chamonix 3 MIPS
