LazerImpala MIPS Helmet(Return to Product Page)

I tried on quite a few helmets before landing on the Lazer Impala. My head measurement puts me in between a M and L with most brands, so L is loose/too large and M is a bit snug. The Impala size L put me more in the middle of the range so fits nicely without wobbling around. Being able to dial in the fit with all the available adjustments makes it quite possibly the most comfortable helmet I've owned, and it looks good too. I like the multiple-position visor, adjustable on the fly but stays in place. The generous vents cool well, so we'll see how that holds up to the midsummer high desert rides! The cushioning is adequate but doesn't do much for sweat retention on the brow, and that cushion has already compressed quite a bit after only a dozen or so rides. Attaching the camera/headlamp mount seems a bit hinky but figured out the trick after a few tries.

The true test of a helmet is how it performs in a crash, but so far I've been lucky enough in that respect to not be able to report on that aspect of the Impala's performance.

I'm very pleased with my purchase, and the great price and fast service provided by Western Bike Works really sweetened the deal!

Very comfortable. Glad I grabbed it.

Used strictly for mountain biking. A little bit heavy but ventilation is good. Straps and adjustments are easy to use and fits ell . Sizing is accurate. Visor stays up and out of the way when needed. Have never worn goggles with this helmet.

I basically use this helmet for mountain biking on sunny rides and it does very well. Camo looks cool.
