@blowmyfuse: That's simply not the case. It's worth stating that whilst MIPS deserve kudos for highlighting the issues of injuries caused by rotational forces - there are also many alternatives to MIPS that are in fact superior.

@warpdoc: Royal Racing - available from Jenson!

We also have an ABS version at $160. It shares the same EPS but a different outer mould to the GF and Carbon versions.

@mountainsofsussex:Yep It can be removed if you prefer.. you just might swallow more South Downs' flies!

Thanks for your interest in the P23 ...Here you go! https://7idp.com/collections/helmets/products/project-23-carbon

@shakazulu12: I think you have perfectly understood the difference between hard shell and micro shell helmets! Both have a place in the market, hard shell for serious DH/enduro/gravity, micro shell for trail.

Our US and UK warehouse should have helmets in stock in the next 10 days. 7idp.com /7idp.co.uk and they be should be with dealers by mid March. HLC are our Canadian distributors.

The best way of understanding the benefit of a carbon helmet is ( and I can understand why you may not rush out and do this) is to drop a carbon helmet on the ground and then drop a light weight micro shell full face on the ground - the carbon will absorb the impact energy and not bounce - the micro shell will not absorb as much energy and rebound off the floor.

Glad you're happy with your new helmet - the helmet is extremely well vented as I'm sure you've discovered - this made fixing the label in the size required by CE regs flat onto the liner impossible - hence we could only stitch on one seam!

Hi, I'd like to address the 90 grams issue, I've weighed 6 stock 21 helmets - in size large as tested, all weigh between 960 grams and 965 grams - 20 grams over the stated weight on our websites, I apologise for this and we will put right asap. As to why the test helmet was 90 grams more than quoted -we're not absolutely sure but it was a sample helmet (our 22 helmets only dock in the next ten days or so) and historically our sample helmets have typically weighed more than our production helmets. I'd also like to address the weight issue of hard shell v micro shell helmets and pose a question. Why do brands who make lightweight full face helmets still make hard shell helmets and why do their gravity riders choose to ride in their hard shell helmets if their light weight full face helmets are so amazing? Don't get me wrong light weight helmets have a place in the market but they are not designed or suited for serious gravity riding. Cheers Martin -7IDP.
