My latest helmet is MIPS (I don’t intend to crash test that) I have crash tested a few KASKs in the past though which do not MIPS and touchwood its they’ve performed well. On my limited experience you don’t need MIP (no harm in it though)

So what’s the consensus in 2024? Every 3, 5 years?
If you read the topic, the answer is still the same. There’s no reason to replace a helmet on a schedule. The materials don’t degrade in such a short time frame. If it’s in bad condition or been crashed, then replace it.

I’ve had some insiders tell me that MiPS may not be all it’s cracked up to be as a testing standard.

I replace my helmet every day.

Why?
I replace my helmets before they get five years old.
Edit: I have several helmets that I use. If I had just one helmet, I would most likely replace it earlier.
I think I had the Oakley since 2018. I replaced it last year which was coincidentally 5years but because I fancied a new one Id saw with a magnetic buckle. Which has turned out to be a great choice for me. I got a plain white Ekoi AR14 for a good price a coloured or team branded one was 2-3 times the price.
