This is a helmet that they took direct advice from people who saw the manifest and improved it. The spherical mips aspect of this helmet includes the entirety of the outer shell where the manifest omits the sides and bottom rear of the helmet. If a portion of your impact zone has no mips coverage at all is it even worth it?
In the same vein I have been wondering if in full face helmets mips has as significant of an effect. If the mips liner stops prior to your cheek pads which play a critical role in fit; in what scenarios is a mips full face better? I've been hard pressed to find any studies that address that directly.
Despite all that all of my helmets including full faces have mips but the new poc full face without it has me wondering.
