tit for tat
I don't consider Bicycling an authority to be taken whole cloth, and you have to balance everything you read.
I think most people can make decisions for themselves on mips technology.

helmets.org is full of 'counterpoints' that are not backed up by the hard data either.
*but both articles and sites contain good info

Certainly, helmets are bought for many reasons. I don't see someone buying mips for safety any less valid than someone spending $400 just for slightly larger vents and a few grams lighter weight.

Marketing and developing helmets based on safety features seems logical to me. Much more so than for "performance" and style reasons that dominate thus far.

No idea why some are being so hyper critical of this but totally ok with what the industry is pushing thus far.

in the end they are all molded packing foam. Just get whatever you feel helps the most.
I happen to think MIPS is a great innovation.
