As for the differences in helmets, more expensive helmets may fit better, offer better venting or aerodynamics or be lighter. They all protect the same.
Well doesn't the MIPS system contradict that statement?
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that they all meet, or exceed, some 'minimal' rating standard (and I assume that many of the different brands are sinking lots of time, effort, money, research and development into trying to far exceed this minimal standard on their top models?
