Interesting idea, if it works and has ventilation benefits that would be a double win for my sweaty head

“The idea being to prevent whiplash-style neck tweak injuries.”

You sure? I thought it was to reduce rotational brain injuries?

I tried on the Jackal along with the mips version and it was definitely lighter and hopefully more ventilated…I ordered one

@Rubber_Buccaneer Correct. My error. Corrected now. Ta!

Has anyone ever had to use the crash replacement scheme with Lazer? I’m curious how many hoops you might have to jump through to get a replacement should it ever be needed

Thankfully, not yet. My Lazer helmets were at the cheap end and bought at less than RRP, but even still 50% off SRP is a decent offer.

I’ve got a Lazer Chiru and Lazer Coyote, both MIPS. Comfiest, best fitting helmets to date for me. I fall between M and L in Giro since the introduction of MIPS; Lazer have a similar shaping but different size ranging.

@tomclark21 the crash replacement scheme should be pretty straight forward. Assuming you are in the UK or Eire then all you need is proof of purchase. You send the helmet along with that, details of the accident and your contact details to arrange payment to Madison. The replacement is sent directly to you. The replacement helmet is a like-for-like item at 50% of SRP. If the returned helmet is obsolete then the replacement will be the nearest current equivalent.
