About this deal
Mips helmet at what seems like a good price. Better safety than old style. All sizes in stock in gloss sand for this price.

The Specialized Align II has a clean aesthetic and comfortable fit but doesn't break the bank either.
The standout feature of the new Specialized Align II all-purpose helmet is the inclusion MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System). MIPS is a brain protection system that reduces the effect of rotational forces by redistributing the damaging rotational energy created during a crash. This, in turn, helps to lessen the effects of the impact on your head and neck.
Add to this the Headset SX dial fit system for easy fit adjustment, Specialized's 4th dimension cooling system for incredible ventilation, and an easy one-size fit system and you get a feature-rich, great-value helmet.

sorted byIt's something we don't talk about enough on this website: why are some products noticeably cheaper than their equivalents when they keep coming up for sale a lot? I think this is a mediocre helmet at best that manages to be the cheapest MIPS going.
(Just reread Rodhull's comment on the Fixture above; my mileage is I'm happier with the Fixture but maybe only because I spent a bit more on it! Maybe there's not that much between them but having just checked, in my opinion, the inside of Fixture is more airy, comfortable and definitely lighter. I'm gonna add a picture of the inside of them each side by side and leave people to draw their own conclusions; Fixture is on left)
Felt and looked massive, perched on the top of my head. Lol
I think I'll have to get one from a store instead - at least then I can try it on.
While the jury is still out on how much Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) actually makes in the event of an accident, at this price it would seem silly not to take advantage of any possible safety improvement and potential brain protection . I've had one of these for a few months and I've found it a decent and comfortable helmet.

This has less vents but is very comfortable. You forget it's on the head and has MIPS which is a great feature for such a low price. I would not hesitate to recommend this helmet.
