AURA Mips

The helmet itself is great, but the customer experience with Unit 1 was poor. I emailed multiple times to ask about fit for large heads, round versus oval shape, length of strap, etc. I also asked about comparison to other major brands like Giro, Bell, and POC (FWIW Giro fits fine in its largest model, but the other two not so great). I never got a response other than the auto-mated "We're working on your request" email. The helmet checked so many boxes for what I wanted in a new helmet, so I decided to order it blind without any answers. Thankfully, everything worked out - almost! My head measures at the larger end of the spectrum, but I have an oval instead of round head. I was happy to find that the helmet fit front-to-back very well with enough room. The helmet had plenty of room side-to-side, and I used the included thicker pads on the sides for a better fit. The only downside the helmet (other than price) is that the chinstrap isn't very long. If you have a big head - and I mean big all the way around - then you may need to worry about the chin strap. I can't make it any looser, but also it wouldn't fit if it were any tighter. I hope that info helps someone!

We love our new helmets. We purchased these because of the multiple safety ratings. We can't really test them so we are relying on those ratings. They do give us peace of mind. Customer service was prompt and very helpful and quickly solved our issue.

Perfect fit - light weight, lots of airflow. Riding in 90+degree heat, and still not getting "sweat-head", like what other helmets gave me. The lights on front and back allow me to be seen from long distances when riding in the pre-dawn hours. Couldn't be happier - hope I never have to test it's crash protection properties!!
