LazerZ1 MIPS Helmet(Return to Product Page)

This has been my primary helmet for a couple years. I always rode with confidence but a recent close call proved it. I was commuting to work and hit a patch of black ice and landed on my hip and my head bounced off a curb. My hips still sore and bruised up and my neck will need a few chiropractic visits to heal properly but my heads intact and undamaged. A man driving by was shocked I was able to walk away from the crash seeing it firsthand and I'm forever grateful that this helmet held up and did it's job. Great product.

I spent a lot of years on a budget buying cheaper helmets that fit moderately well. None of them were bad helmets but being a bike commuter, 15-20 miles each way year round I decided it was worth investing in a quality helmet. I realized after a little thought that the helmet is the only thing that might stand in the way of a serious injury and just a bad day. I saw this one on sale with Western Bike works and decided to get one. I rarely buy equipment like this without trying it on first but made an exception and I'm glad I did. The fit and adjustment feature are perfect for my oddly shaped head and fit perfectly, in the summer or with a balaclava under it. The construction seems solid and I have complete confidence that if I had an accident this would protect me. It's also very light and has no problem keeping my head ventilated and cool in the summer. Love it.

Use it for road riding, very lite and great ventilation.

There is no downside. The Hi-Viz yellow stands out, the helmet itself is light on the lid and with MIPS! That�s a win-win-WIN!

Helmet is light, feels great, great price!

I love the Lazer helmets and this is my third one. Was pleased that this one has the MIPS shell protection. Got a size medium, fits perfetly. Love the top adjuster to make it tight and also the fact my pony-tail can go through the opening. I like the Z1 model and as others have indicated, the front doesn't impact my vision like some others.

I road bike for 1.25 hours (20+ miles) every other day as part of my workout regime. The helmet is comfortable and lightweight to the point that you don't even know it is there. And, the helmet has MIPS; Multi-directional Impact Protection System. Having gone done before I know how important it is to have a quality helmet.

Don't settle for anything less, you won't regret it.

When it became time to purchased a new helmet there was no decision, ... it was going be a Lazer Z1 in the cool hi-vis yellow. It's down to being comfortable, protected and being seen.

I initially bought a different brand of MIPS helmet which I didn't like and returned. This one fits great and is really nice looking. The MIPS insert will make it feel slightly different than a conventional helmet, but was no issue. Very nice helmet and an added benefit of being even safer.

light, positionally stable, and comfortably accommodates a variety of eyewear. Ratcheting system not as precise as Giro or Bell MIPS'. Base sizing seems slightly different. Purchased because of the pony-tail feature which allows me to tie a wetted headband, with the ends laying upon my neck. The tie stays in place and the ends are re-wetted for coolness. It is my go-to hot weather helment and has been on my head since late May.

best for hot weather road riding

The helmet fits well and is lower profile, less mushroom-y than a typical helmet. I hope I don't get a chance to weigh in on how well it protects in a crash.

This is my second Z1. My first one was damaged in a crash. I think it saved my life or, at minimum, a severe head injury.

Light, comfortable, and well ventilated. This is my second one

Super light and easy to get the fit perfect. I forget that I am wearing a helmet. I added the additional light to it for safety.

I have 2 of the Lazer Z1 helmets. Fit well and with the large number of open vents helps keep you a little cooler during hot weather

Ligth weight, very comfortable, excellent ventilation, straps are top notch. Fits my head really well. As far as the aesthetics of the helmet, Im a bit torn........

Ive had a lot of helmets, as Ive been riding for 20 years, and its the best Ive ever had.

After an unfavorable encounter with a car, I found myself hyper focused on safety. I have been a Giro guy for the last 5 years, but wanted to try something different that included MIPS. Also, I wanted to try the fit system in the Lazar helmets (a buddy raves about it, so why not). Im very happy with the helmet. As always, it pays to check fit in the store.

Another great helmet from Lazer!! it has all of othe great features from Lazer including the Rollsys tighting system. The Z1 has plenty of vents and I havent had a problem with it in Houston's heat. I normally wear a L from Lazer with the Rollsys set on the tightest setting but because of the MIPS the helmets tends to feel a size smaller so if you are in between I would Size up
