Are 661 helmets good?

Overall, I was pretty impressed with the SixSixOne Evo Am helmet. The Boa closure system provided me with a comfortable, secure fit that was easy to adjust and allowed me enough room to wear a skull cap under it. The BOA system offers a secure and easily adjustable fit.

Is 661 a good brand?

Cost effective, comfortable and durable The 661 Comp is a helmet that will not win awards for being the best in its class, but it certainly won’t come in worst in the class either. I found this helmet got the job done for full face Enduro races but there are better choices out there when it came to ventilation.

What is MIPS in a helmet?

MIPS, or Multi-Directional Impact Protection System, uses a slip plane designed to manage energy from rotational and angular impacts.

How do I identify my MIPS helmet?

A MIPS-equipped helmet looks almost identical to a non-MIPS-equipped helmet except for when you look inside, you will see a thin yellow liner beneath the pads. From the outside, the only indicator that the helmet is any different to one without MIPS is that some brands have a small yellow MIPS logo on there.

Do I really need MIPS?

MIPS is about safety pure and simple. Reducing rotational force, MIPS helmets lessen the chance of concussion, more so than non-MIPS helmets, and other brain injuries. The top 23 rated helmets all had a system for reducing force at an angle, such as MIPS. MIPS won’t hurt.

Are MIPS helmets really better?

All we know is a MIPS equipped helmet is at least 10% better at handling rotational impact than the non-MIPS verision. That’s all MIPS will say. Some helmets are inherently better at dissipating rotational impacts than others, even before the MIPS liner.

Is WaveCel better than MIPS?

According to a study at the Legacy Research Institute in Portland, Oregon, WaveCel is significantly more effective than MIPS in reducing both linear impact forces and rational forces on the brain. While similar in appearance to Koroyd used by Smith, Koroyd-equipped helmets still use a MIPS layer.

Is MIPS worth the extra money?

MIPS helmets provide an extra degree of safety for all bike riders. So if you’re ready to replace your old helmet, the extra $20 or so to upgrade from a non-MIPS to MIPS-equipped model is well-worth the price.

Is Wavecell safer than MIPS?

What is better MIPS or Wavecell?

According to a study at the Legacy Research Institute in Portland, Oregon, WaveCel is significantly more effective than MIPS in reducing both linear impact forces and rational forces on the brain.

Is the 661 reset full face helmet a classic?

Evolution of a classic. A future industry staple, the 661 Reset Full Face helmet has been carefully crafted and developed from the ground up to become the highlight of the 2018 661 range.

Which is the best full face crash helmet?

For the first time, SixSixOne are bringing MIPS Technology to a full-face helmet with budget friendly price-point. We’ve worked closely with MIPS to become one of the first brands to feature their brand new E2 System, designed specifically for Full-Face helmets to reduce rotational forces transmitted in a crash.

What are the features of the new reset helmet?

Recognisable from any angle, the all new Reset has been created with bold, dramatic features, aggressive angles and strong lead lines while maintaining core ventilation and maximum protection, to offer riders a performance lightweight helmet at an affordable price point.

How big are the sixsixone reset helmet shells?

With comfort and fit a priority we outlined a comprehensive sizing range across 3 shells spread as 49cm – 65cm in 7 individual sizes from XXS to XXL. Start at the beginning, Reset and Send it.
