Why We Like The Specialized Tactic 4 MIPS Helmet
The Specialized Tactic 4 MIPS Helmet is built with the perfect combination of comfort, ventilation, and protection for days full of technical singletrack and enduro riding. Thanks to the Integrated Fit System, we can dial in a personalized fit no matter what head shape we have, and the Computational Fluid Dynamic design ensures we get maximum airflow moving through the massive vents so that that heat is drawn away from our head at every speed. And although we hope that no ride ends in a crash, the MIPS Evolve system is integrated into the helmet to lower the amount of energy transferred to our brain in the event of an accident.

Excellent fit and very comfortable!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Bought the Tactic 4 for trail and light enduro riding and it has not let me down! Granted, I have not crashed with it yet but it has the third-best crash rating by the Virginia Institute of Technology. It fits true to size with good airflow, rear head protection, and comfort. The only downside is the fact that the visor is nonadjustable so you will get smacked in the eyes with sunlight unless you wear goggles or sunglasses. Otherwise, the Tactic 4 is a 10/10 MTB helmet.

Feels and Look Good but Visor is Useless
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
I returned is since the visor is way too high to be of any use whatsoever and is not adjustable. Poor design.

Great but visor is too high
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Fits well, looks nice, quality seems high level, but I have no idea why they put the visor so high up on the helmet. It does not afford any eye shade except at high noon or thereabouts. And, it's not adjustable.

Comfortable
It fits as it should with adjustments. Feels very secure and you have the peace of mind of the highest VT crash rating.

best protection rating... (currently)
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
fwiw this helmet currently has the best score from the Virginia Tech helmet testing lab of all the MTB helmets they've tested (and they've tested a lot). their tests ... "Our bicycle helmet impact tests evaluate a helmet's ability to reduce linear acceleration and rotational velocity of the head resulting from a range of impacts a cyclist might experience." This is a highly respected testing lab. They also test helmets for other sports like Hockey, Football, etc.
