The Formula S is 22.06. There was no necessary change to certify, just the lengthy line for certification.

There's no standardized test standard to compare them, other than the certifications which are pass/fail. Ultimately it's marketing with different test methods by different doctors. There is technical material available from those companies and their skeptics. IMO the MIPS is just a slip-surface material, quite a bit different from the other features that offer some form of linear and rotational deflection.

When you say more tested. Do you mean proven to work better? I've searched for testing results that will name names so they are worth something. And I have not found anything beyond the info on the websites for each of those brands. They all seem to make the case that their systems go above what MIPS offers. But it would be interesting to see some real info. I know every crash will be different , and results may not reflect how well the helmet might work in every crash. But I would think there has to be some sort...

I am in the market for a new helmet and this seems like the best thread for helmet safety information. I am still wondering about rotational impacts. Is MIPS any more tested than the rotational impact systems built by 6D, Leatt, and Fly? These are the brands I am currently leading towards, but have always been a fan of the...
