MIPS

A helmet equipped with MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology consists of three main parts: the EPS polystyrene shell, the MIPS slip liner and the elastomers that connect the first two parts.

The source of inspiration for the MIPS patent is the human brain

The brain is surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid, which allows the brain to move around in the skull and protect it from impact. Mimicking the brain's natural protection, the unique MIPS technology also works to reliably protect your brain from impacts and reduce the shocks that are transmitted to it.

The thin MIPS friction layer is placed between the inner padded part and the top EPS shell of the helmet by means of specially developed flexible grips. Its arrangement does not interfere in any way with the overall appearance or shape of the helmet, does not reduce comfort or compromise technical properties. At the moment of impact, the MIPS layer will move with the head independently of the direction of impact, limiting brain rotation which can pose a great danger.
