let me know if you want anything else.

fwiw, the germans have the best testing system.

this helmet the won the test of Folksam:

Etto | Zero
Thanks! Looks like it beat out the only MIPS helmet in the line up, the POC Trabec Race MIPS, which scored on par with a few others.

Test approach seems pretty solid. Direct impact, simulation of impact with a car, and simulation of impact with asphalt direct. The big downside on the POC was that the strap came apart, which lowered the score, but there is absolutely no information on how they handled scoring. It may have been equal to the Etto Zero if that had not happened, but then that would mean the two oblique tests (vehicle impact test and asphalt impact test) showed no difference between the Etto Zero and the POC Trabec Race MIPS. Which doesn't make the MIPS seem to have any advantage.

I really wish they would have posted the direct data and more detail in the methodology.
