There's also a helmet called the Torch with built-in lights.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...0c1c3f1a11.jpg Perhaps 'compliant'? :) 'MIPS compliant' would be a new term for me. MIPS is a mechanical design which it is said reduces helmet rotational force at impact. It is one of several such designs. It would seem a particular helmet either uses the patented MIPS design under license or does not. Educate me. https://www.amazon.com/TORCH-APPAREL...017MDNLJY?th=1 but it's $139. I'd get it if I was a city commuter but not for the % of road rides I do, which are mostly out in the "suburbs". nice choice of colors tho! I am in the market for a white helmet for the winter |

I see some of our respondents above said since they've never crashed and hit the top of their helmet, they don't see the sense in a breakaway mount should they ride under a tree branch and snag their light/camera. We all get to make our individual decisions. fast forward to the :40 sec mark ;-) |
couldn't resist a sale & ordered a light from Magicshine.com (not the same as magicshine.us?) found out it's coming from China. found out Action Led is not the same company. where have I been? the Alty 500 can be used on bars & helmet. I won't get it for a while & I don't need more lights. or do I? never thought I'd buy a USB rechargeable light. but at $25 I had to try it
been enjoying my MJ-906 as well but requires an external battery. also mounting in on a helmet was a whole ordeal |
