The MIPS sticker is the only thing making the Giro Ledge MIPS different in looks/fit than the Giro Ledge. Had both and currently riding the anti-concussion gang version.

Dawg. Tf you mean, all mips does is layer up a bunch of bullshit layers with some bullshit compression pseudo science. All them layers make it big a doofy. Look at the noiticeable size increase on tht giro helmet. the first 1 looks like a nice steezy helmet... The second, insta jerry vibes.

It’s because they have to pay to use the tech. MIPS is a Swedish patent/company. Look at BOA. Ever notice how each boa adds like $50 to, say, a snowboard boot? You’re paying for the use of that tech.

Stadium is the only brand I’ve seen put MIPS in generic brand helmets. I would imagine it’s because Stadium is Swedish and one of biggest retailers in Nordics. So they probably have more pull with MIPS/can get it for a better price.

I thought MIPS was basically there to protect your neck since it's all about the inner liner of the helmet being able to turn separately from the shell, not sure how it prevents concussions exactly?

Here’s the study that got me to actually invest, it’s long:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6928098/

TL;DR they prevent your head from rotating too much which reduces whiplash. Only works if your head makes contact with something.

IMHO there's no Ledge without an adjusting system. Might've been the Emerge or some other soft shell helmet?

was 100% a ledge. plus I have an older ledge with the elastic. looks like it may have been updated with a turn knob, so I'm assuming they had old stock.
