Bollé’s Instinct MIPS helmet relies on the brand’s own proprietary EPS build, dubbed Avid, featuring vent channels that are carved out of the interior EPS to provide airflow and decrease weight. For 2018-19, Bollé threw in a MIPS system to further enhance the helmet’s protective qualities by helping to disperse dangerous rotational or oblique strikes to the head. The result is a noodle guard that’s light, comfortable and doesn’t skimp on safety.
