I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The Oakley Mod5 MIPS Helmet

The Oakley Mod5 MIPS Helmet is our top choice for comfort and protection. With its rugged Duramatter shell, this helmet offers unbeatable protection against dents and dings on even the tightest tree runs. The MIPS technology provides additional safety by absorbing rotational forces during off-center impacts.

One of the standout features of the Mod5 MIPS Helmet is its adjustable vents. These vents allow you to easily regulate the air flow, ensuring comfort and proper ventilation whether you're dealing with arctic mid-winter conditions or enjoying balmy spring laps.

Equipped with a Polartec Power Grid liner and ear pads, this helmet goes the extra mile when it comes to moisture management. These innovative features wick away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable during intense rides. Furthermore, the liner and ear pads can be easily removed for a cooler fit during bootpacks and in-between runs.

Here are some key details about the Oakley Mod5 MIPS Helmet:

  • The hybrid shell design combines lightweight materials and cutting-edge MIPS technology for optimal protection without sacrificing performance.
  • The adjustable top vents provide customizable ventilation for maximum comfort throughout the entire season.
  • The BOA dial fit system allows for on-the-fly micro-adjustments, ensuring the perfect fit every time.
  • The Fidlock magnetic buckle makes it easy to put on and take off the helmet, even with gloves on.
  • A rear clip helps keep your goggle strap securely in place, preventing it from shifting during intense activity.
  • For your convenience, the Oakley Mod5 MIPS Helmet comes with a helmet bag for easy and safe transportation.
