![]() If you want a helmet that looks futuristic and aero, with all the comfort and safety specifications, the Bexley is it. ![]() The only thing you might need to keep in mind is that there's no small size available for those with smaller heads. If you want to hear more details, take a look at our full Kask Moebius review. Like the impact protection technologies, it might be hard to tell but our reviewer praised how comfortable the Moebius is. Not only that but a comfortable helmet that is a joy to wear is always going to be a plus and Kask makes some of the most comfortable helmets on the market. Given how complex the field of impact protection is, they may well be correct. Instead, the brand has the WG11 test showing that even without specific mitigation technologies there is enough protection. Instead of MIPS, or other rotational impact protection technologies, Kask takes the stance that those technologies oversell an unnecessary need. In fact, much of what Kask offers goes beyond what you can see on the surface. Although looks matter, this is a feature that goes beyond just looks. It’s an important feature because the outer surface of a helmet is part of what helps keep its integrity. For the Moebius, Kask uses a scratch-resistant ABS outer that should do a good job of keeping the helmet looking nice for a long time to come. In and out of bags, sliding along a wall while clipped to the outside of a bag, keys dropped alongside in a bag, any number of day-to-day activities that will scratch up a quality finish in no time. Urban helmets have to put up with a lot of wear and tear that something from our list of the best aero helmets will never experience. If you have to have MIPS tech you'll need to look elsewhere You can read a full review of the Giro Ethos MIPS helmet here This is also where the power button is located which allows you to cycle between modes. The light set charges using a USB-C port at the rear of the helmet. This is achieved by using a small rubber remote that attaches to your handlebars. ![]() The rear lights can also change to an amber colour when you are indicating to turn. The front lights kick out 45 lumens while the red rear lights provide 30. The Ethos model features an in-built lighting system that comprises a pair of white LEF strips at the front of the helmet and a line of red LED lights at the rear. ![]() The front of the helmet has a rubberized TPU brim to protect both the helmet and its user. The helmet is available in metallic grey or a chalk colour and uses the MIPS safety system to keep the rider protected. The helmet uses a total of 12 vents to aid cooling, and the helmet has coverage around the back of the ears and at the rear of the head making for a safe yet comfortable fit. The Ethos MIPS is a stylish addition to the expanding Giro range of commuter and e-bike-specific helmets. Not possible to turn the helmet on from the remote We have a full review of the Unit 1 Faro commuter bike helmet if you want more details. The battery to run all the lights makes it quite heavy, but the weight is well balanced and the helmet is comfortable on the head. You can buy the Unit 1 Faro helmet with or without MIPS. The straps are closed by a magnetic buckle that's simple to use. The shell of the Unit 1 Faro helmet is made of ABS, which gives it a tougher shell than polycarbonate to help protect the helmet from knocks and up its longevity. There's even a light sensor built in that alters the brightness depending on ambient light conditions. There's an optional remote so that you can operate the turn signals from the handlebars. The Unit 1 Faro follows the trend for in-built illumination in helmets for urban use, with LEDs front and rear and even more LEDs under a fabric strip at the back of the helmet that can be programmed via a phone app and used, among other things, as turn and brake signals. Magnetic buckle strap could wear out over time
