Bell and Giro will have this on some new models this fall under license from MIPS. http://www.bicycleretailer.com/product-tech/2014/08/25/brg-takes-stake-mips-will-use-helmet-technology#.U_3BVlaLL38

My next helmet will have MIPS.

I'd already be wearing one if I could find a POS Trabec in white and my size. (I find visors make my life much better as a full time glasses wearer. I don't need cycling specific glasses and the visor makes mirrors easy. (Yeah, I do have to make custom mounts for the mirrors, but they last far longer than the helmets do.)

Try before you buy Ben. The POC Trabec fits lower than many helmets and can interfere with the glasses.

I threw one on and never thought about the glasses. But if there had been interference, I certainly would have noticed.
I use the same frames, just slightly larger, for sunglasses as I use for normal glasses. No wrap around. No thick frames. So the helmet that is too low for my glasses is probably too low for most people. glasses or no. I'll check it again. But I may also wait until Bell comes out with theirs as it sounds like that is soon.
Thanks, Andy,

FYI - POC is now introducing MIPS in the Octal.

Many of the new enduro (shudder) helmets offer greater coverage at the expense of room for glasses. I tried the Bell Super and it sits way too low on my temples and my riding glasses do not work. POC Trabec is barely acceptable. The other thing that the enduro helmets do is go down further at the back. (Helmet mullet?) and when you get low some of them get pushed forward when the skin on the back of the head bunches up. Might suck on the road.

The Giro seems to be a standard helmet with MIPS added so maybe there won't be some of the issues discussed above. I dislike it very much when my helmet and glasses don't work well together!
