We've tested many well-ventilated helmets, but the Specialized Ambush 2 is the best of the best in this category. Specialized claims to have used computational fluid dynamic modeling to optimize the airflow with this helmet's design. This is noticeable immediately when you roll forward, and you'll feel the air moving over your head through the helmet. Even at low speeds, you can feel air moving from your forehead out through the back of this helmet. Also, the MIPS SL rotational impact protection system doesn't require an internal plastic liner. This further enhances the ventilation effect since there's no plastic sheet to block the wind. We had no issues with sweating or excess heat while wearing this, even on long, hot, exposed climbs. But breathability isn't all this has to offer; this was one of the highest-performing mountain bike models in every category. It has some great features, such as a well-designed eyewear holder: two small vent ports on the front of the helmet have rubber flaps to hold your glasses securely. This lets you easily stash your sunglasses beneath the visor with no chance of accidentally dropping them on rough trail sections. The helmet also has a highly-adjustable strap, harness system, and a great, burly visor. 
The visor on the Ambush 2 is not adjustable, however. But, it easily comes off and back on, so it shouldn't break in the event of a crash. The visor's high position on the helmet doesn't provide as much protection from the sun at lower angles, though. The adjustable harness works well to give a secure fit, but the way it connects to the back of the helmet doesn't allow you to position it as low as some models. Regardless of these minor flaws, we feel this is an excellent model with awesome features that beats other brands' flagship models in price.

Specialized Ambush 2 with MIPS is what I use. I’ve seen their helmet testing, it’s legit (as are most other reputable helmet makers). It’s well worth spending the extra money for MIPS or something similar whichever brand you go with.

I’m new to mountain biking and looking for a safe high quality open face bike helmet. I have been looking around into wavecel and Koroyd, are there any other technology out there that is innovative in safety? What helmets do you guys suggest? If I’m going to spend around/over $200 for a helmet I want to make sure it’s as safe as possible.

It's a nice helmet, I went with a different helmet after I had an accident that totaled the helmet. I used a Bell Super 2 and It always gave me a headache, it just didn't fit, I bought another Specialized Ambush soon after. I would recommend you find a helmet that fits your head well and stick with it. Also if you're going to be going fast, I would recommend getting goggles and ear covers

As stated in the title, I'm seeking recommendations on e-bikes helmets to purchase. I'm also open to any additional suggestions, such as clothes and accessories, that you may have. 

Please accept my thanks in advance!

What helmets are you guys using for e-bikes?

First time mtb-er. Am I supposed to get the mtb specific helmet if I am planning to do some trail riding? Any advantages other than having a visor on it?

” And when he pulled the helmet out, I failed to hide my dismay and fully agreed with him. In use, I've found the new fixed visor is less functional than the adjustable visor on the previous version for keeping sun out of my eyes—it's not actually visible while I'm wearing it.  On the plus side, the visor is well designed for storing sunglasses or goggles. Rubber flaps hold the glasses in place, and I’ve had no issue with my sunglasses slipping from there on long climbs

 Instead of the older model’s airy 20 vents, this year’s features 15 with an additional three on the visor. Large unvented sections on the top of the head and along the sides above the ears prevent airflow where the previous version allowed it. I’ve tested both versions in unforgiving conditions, wearing the new model for exposed, sunny rides in Moab, Utah, and Durango and Fruita, Colorado. And although the vents on the Ambush 2 are quite large, they still don’t live up to the comfort and airflow of the previous model’s smaller, more numerous, and better-placed vents

Specialized might be best known for their quality bikes, but we’ve had good experiences with their helmets and apparel, too. We were big fans of their original Ambush helmet, which was exceptionally lightweight and breathable and had some standout safety tech. For the latest Ambush 2, we found it's still a comfortable, protective helmet but the visor, venting, and overall shape have all been changed, and in our opinion, they are not improvements. Below we break down the Ambush 2’s overall performance

Switchback Travel | Specialized Ambush 2 Helmet Review

 Its level of comfort doesn't surpass that of the original, but it comes close enough that I'm okay with retiring my well-used (and sort of smelly) Ambush 1 and letting version 2.0 take&nbsp;over.&mdash; Mike&nbsp;Kazimer
