Mavic - Deemax Pro MIPS - Bike helmet tested

Very happy with it.
I have the Mavic - Deemax Pro MIPS - Bike helmet, older model, 2023, dark green & yellow.
Was €68 on sale, maybe that was approx. half price, great price. Expensive now!
Comfortable, light, good sun protection peak over eyes/nose/face.
Inner mesh is good against flies.
Colour is good to be seen on road.
I need to buy inner padding, the forehead padding is coming apart but is still doing its job. I think it can be bought.

My search for a competent helmet originally led me to purchase a 7 iDP M2 BOA helmet, and while the fit was OK, the BOA lace/wire did not play well when used whilst wearing a scull cap.

Next I purchased a Smith Forefront 2 MIPS helmet, but I found this helmet to produce some uncomfortable pressure points on my head.
Then I tried an Endura MT500 MIPS in a size small but this was just a bit too small, so I tried the medium size. Whilst this did have more room, I could not get the correct fit, and it didn't feel particularly comfortable either. I could also feel it was heavy on my head - it's over 400g in weight.

The final helmet I purchased was the Mavic Deemax Pro MIPS in a medium size. As soon as I put it on I knew I had found the perfect helmet - super comfortable, and only requiring the chin strap to be adjusted to my face. I cannot believe the difference in fit and comfort between this Mavic helmet and the others I have mentioned. The shape is great and the padding is extensive; it is also quite light weight too.

Yes, the Deemax Pro MIPS is expensive, but Mavic have done a great job with this helmet - you will soon forget you are even wearing it.
This, an older helmet from Mavic, but very, very comfortable; I would recommend to anyone to try this helmet first.
