As long as it fits you comfortably and is suited to what you need there's not really much to say. Spesh rate to Snell as well EN1078, which is a Good Thing, and MIPS is probably a Good Thing should it come down to head-butting the road.
But if it's not comfortable (and only you can tell that) and/or you can't get a decent fit then it's not the one for you.

Thanks for that :wink: , it's a pretty good price for MIPS coming in at £38.99.

Got a Scott enduro style MIPS one for £40 (RRP over £100). The slightly 'out there' colour combination that isn't selling is usually a good bet for reductions.
