For wider heads
EN 1077 Class B; ASTM F2040 | Polycarbonate and ABS with EPS | adjustable
The essentials

What is it for?
Our take
The Obex WF Mips is explicitly designed for wider head shapes. If conventional helmet shapes press at the sides, this wider version could be a good option; you can also adjust the circumference and airflow.
