I've been working on upgrading my helmet quiver to ones that incorporate some sort of spherical rotational protection. I've taken care of the full faces, but now looking for a half-shell. I'm looking for something with a "ball in socket" design similar to the MIPS Spherical that Giro uses or MIPS Integra Split that Fox has in the Proframe RS. My instinct is that a design like this will do a lot more than a silly thin sheet of plastic (traditional MIPS). What are some models out there with designs like this?
Here's my list so far:
Giro Manifest
Giro Tyrant (3/4)
6D ATB-2T Ascent
I know the Leatt Turbine things claim to do the same thing, but I'm a bit skeptical about that, having worn one and also worn a Giro Insurgent and Fox Proframe RS with true ball-in-socket designs.
It sounds like the MIPS Integra that POC uses in the Kortal Race is basically just making the inside of the foam smooth so the pads slide, so not what I'm looking for.
