I was fortunate to help design the Tectal and while its no spring chicken, it'll be around for a few more years, its just too good , better than the Kortal in many peoples books ;-)
So worry not Mike (also great to have you here, sublime style indeed)
Regarding MIPS, POC had exclusivity on the MIPS brand for 2 years in the snow helmets and one year in MTB to launch MIPS, but all great things come to an end (except covid that is, but wait its not great, but i'm riding tons, so is it? anyways...)
MIPS sued POC for launching their own version of a "sliding mechanism to reduce the severity of rotational impacts from oblique helmet crashes"
Thats why things didn't go well (when someone left POC with a non compete and went to MIPS the next day) ..... but then they did go well.... the lawyers made tons of money and now POC will use some MIPS on some of their products.
All of this is public information and all over the main interweb sites.
