The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

There is no substitute for simplicity. You can keep your bells and whistles. Smith has created a simple, streamlined helmet for day-to-day cycling and commuting. The Express MIPS is a low profile, comfortable helmet that protects your dome, all the way to Point B.

It’s minimalist in shape, but still offers that advanced MIPS Brain Protection System, offering angled impact protection that you really need for whipping down the boulevard on your way to work or doing some country miles on the weekend. It has 13 fixed air vents to keep the air flowing, a removable fabric visor and integrated rear vent light. Pop-in rear light makes you visible to drivers.—Jon Coen, Men’s Journal contributor
