Helmet suggestions? [MIPS]
Want to get a MIPS helmet. I need a 'L', but most large look huge on my head. Any suggestions for a compact large helmet [stupid as that might sound] which has MIPS?

Bell Z20 Ghost helmet with MIPS. Looks good, fits great, and has room for your sunglasses.

Kinda depends on the shape of your head, unfortunately. I have the same issue, but, I'm wearing a Lazer Helium Mips now and it's a nice fitting, not too large helmet (in size L)

Or forget the MIPS and go for the full Aero look.

Ditto the current lineup of Bell MIPS. I got a Formula MIPS last summer. Same basic design as many of the current lineup of Bell MIPS helmets. It looks a little smaller than my previous Bell helmet -- less of the finned protrusions at the rear. But it fits fine and is comfortable. year 'round.
The Giro I tried at the same time were very similar in size and fit.

Bontrager Ballista MIPS got best marks for safety testing
I like mine, but it does not have quite as good ventilation as other helmets, the LG Course helmet being my gold standard for ventilation

You havnt heard?!
Trek has changed cycling forever with their radical new helmet design. You might as well wear a cardboard box if you dont buy their gadgets.
