3. Seven Bell MX-9 with MIPS, Soldier, $199.95
Just sneaking in under our $200 price threshold, the Seven Bell MX-9 with MIPS features a relatively new safety advancement in the form of MIPS, short for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. MIPS is a technology that allows the helmet shell to slide relative to the head, and it is claimed to offer more protection against rotational trauma to the brain caused by angled impacts. The MX-9 boasts three shell and EPS sizes for a precise fit. Its shell construction is a combination of lightweight polycarbonate and ABS, and it features Bell’s Velocity Flow Ventilation system for maximum cooling effect. The MX-9’s interior is removable and washable, and it features anti-bacterial properties. The MX-9 comes with a five-year warranty. It is designed to meet DOT and ECE safety standards.
