Fortunately I've not had to test the impact protection that this helmet provides. I did have to return the original one that I purchased because it was too big. I like the way it sits on my head and there is clearance for my sunglasses. I purchased white for better visibility when I ride on our town streets and some of the local highways. Not a lot of traffic but I want to be seen from a distance.
This is a replacement helmet after a crash.
PROS: Light, good fit, easy adjustments, comfortable, good price
CONS: Somewhat difficult to place/hold sunglasses in vents
My favorite Lazer helmet so far. Great fit and weighs less than my previous Helium helmet. Super comfortable, great ventilation and I recommend to anyone. Spend the $$ and get the MIPS.
Don't settle for anything less, you won't regret it.
When it became time to purchased a new helmet there was no decision, ... it was going be a Lazer Z1 in the cool hi-vis yellow. It's down to being comfortable, protected and being seen.
Very good looking and lightweight. Maybe need more colors option.
I initially bought a different brand of MIPS helmet which I didn't like and returned. This one fits great and is really nice looking. The MIPS insert will make it feel slightly different than a conventional helmet, but was no issue. Very nice helmet and an added benefit of being even safer.
Good fit and liked adjustable knob on top of helmet. But I dont like the large cutout in front of helmet leaves too much of forehead exposed
This helmet works for me better than the Bell with the undersized chin strap.
In the summer heat, this lid is provided great ventilation.
I purchased the Lazer Z1 MIPS helmet this past summer and what a difference! The helmet is so lightweight and with all the air vents making rides comfortable. (I ride between 30-60 miles daily with a couple of century rides). It�s so easy to fit to your head if you�re wearing bandanna, Halo, or nothing. I added the back light to the helmet since I ride at night, a nice safety feature.
Literally my go to helmet for any type of ride. Perfect fit, awesome ventilation...and the high-vis yellow adds another level of safety.
Helmet is in the top tier of safety ratings. Bright yellow for visibility. Very comfortable fit, and easy to adjust via the thumb wheel.
Great Helmet! Very easy to adjust.
light, positionally stable, and comfortably accommodates a variety of eyewear. Ratcheting system not as precise as Giro or Bell MIPS'. Base sizing seems slightly different. Purchased because of the pony-tail feature which allows me to tie a wetted headband, with the ends laying upon my neck. The tie stays in place and the ends are re-wetted for coolness. It is my go-to hot weather helment and has been on my head since late May.
This is my second Z1. My first one was damaged in a crash. I think it saved my life or, at minimum, a severe head injury.
best for hot weather road riding
The helmet fits well and is lower profile, less mushroom-y than a typical helmet. I hope I don't get a chance to weigh in on how well it protects in a crash.
Light, comfortable, and well ventilated. This is my second one
Helmet fits great and the micro adjustment knob on the top works well
Super light and easy to get the fit perfect. I forget that I am wearing a helmet. I added the additional light to it for safety.
