Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Helmets. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Troy Lee Designs A2 MIPS Mirage Helmet 2020.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Troy Lee Designs A2 MIPS Mirage Helmet 2020 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Helmets. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Helmets. Brands like Troy Lee Designs are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Helmets category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Helmets.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Retro-inspired graphics meets cutting edge technology to give you the very best in mountain bike performance. Classic TLD Limited Edition DesignsFor 40 years Troy Lee Designs have been at the forefront of dirt riding performance and style. For this limited-edition lid, they look back to a classic MTB design. The Mirage design harks back to TLD’s earliest helmet, the Edge, which set Troy Lee’s vision for style and protection, bringing riders the first iteration of the now-iconic peak. Bright colours and clean lines call forth memories of TLD lids worn by icons of the sport, Greg Herbold, Dave Cullinan and Brian Lopes. With only 200 available worldwide, get in early to avoid disappointment.Cutting-Edge ProtectionThe A2 MIPS Mirage Helmet is brimming with features to make your mountain bike rides safe and comfortable. Should you push boundaries a bit too far then the industry-leading dual-density EPP – EPS impact liner protects you from the impact forces of a crash. The unique design is dialled to work at both high and low speeds too. The A2 also gets extended coverage with more protection in key impact zones. Whether it’s over the bars, off the back or a sideways slam, you’re covered. Then we come to the MIPS brain protection system.What is MIPS?Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) is a proven system that reduces the rotational forces on the brain when you’re involved in a crash. The forces are absorbed and redirected to prevent them from being transmitted to the brain. MIPS is a Brain Protection SystemRotational motion can cause brain injuriesThe low friction layer allows a sliding movement of 10–15 mm, in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain during impactMIPS adds protectionFresh and FastWith protection levels class-leading, comfort is off the charts too. Cooling airflow is optimised thanks to the copious oversize vents to the front and back. The A2 enjoys 25% more airflow than the A1, leaving you with a fresh and airy feel whenever you ride. Sweat isn’t an issue either. The X-Static® Pure Silver comfort liner is quick to wick it away before discomfort sets in. It’s odour-resistant too – less stink, less itch, more fun. With an easy to adjust head cradle and strap-dividers, fit and comfort are simple to get right every ride. Weighing a mere 350 grams, the A2 certainly won’t weigh you down either.
