Tactic III MIPS

Trail riding is more aggressive than ever, so you need a helmet that gives you the confidence to take on downhill runs on a five-inch-travel trail bike. Say hello to the Tactic III. It has protection covered in spades, while our 4th Dimension Cooling System handles ventilation to keep your wig cool. Keeping in this spirit, the Tactic III has been redesigned to also be lighter than ever, all while keeping its pedigree of protection. This means that you get a tried-and-true trail helmet that gets you to the top of a climb and protects you on the way down. That's what it's really all about, right?

Great Helmet.. But..

I love this helmet. been using it for about a year and clocked over 1000KM in all kinds of weather. It just never fails to keep me cool and protected. My only woe is that there are no replacement inner pads for the helmet. Mine are worn out due to normal wear. Would be great if they could sell the pads separately as a replacement.

Would Recommend?
Yes!

4 months old and liner is delaminated

I ride almost every day for an hour or two ... I bought the Tactic 3 in February, it's now the middle of May. One of the reasons I bought a new helmet was the liner was worn in my over 2 year old helmet ... my old helmet's liner is now in better condition than the Tactic ... Great fit, comfort, etc. but poor QC on the liner. I would recommend to a friend IF new liners are available otherwise it's a really expensive consumable helmet

Bland color

I ordered the white helmet and the color seems more of a mix of tan and white. It is not a true white and I was super disappointed in that. The helmet is lightweight and easy to wear.

Very pleased

Great fit, light and plenty of air circulation. I ride a hybrid and rarely get low on the handlebars so the extended visor is great. It's a good fit for me and feels very secure. I would have preferred an option for yellow color for better visibility.

I love the single chin strap

I love this helmet. This is the second helmet Ive bought from specialized. It fits great and I love the single strap under the chin. No more trying to get it right. It just is.

My son LOVES it!

This one fits his head great and the visor helps to keep the sun out of his eyes. The ability to adjust the fit makes it snug.

Good helmet

I am a 71/4 hat size, the fit is at the 'large' end of the fit adjustment. The helmet fits well and looks good.

Legit saved me

I was riding a big jump trail and I went over the bars landing on the right side of my head to a scorpion. The helmet saved me from getting a concussion, cracking my head. The jump was a 5 foot tall jump to a gap. The worst of my injuries was only 4 broken vertebrae. This helmet is truly amazing. I will be buying this helmet again
