Mips

The 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.

A thin Mips friction layer is placed between the inner padded part and the upper EPS shell of the helmet using specially developed flexible grips. Its arrangement does not disturb the overall appearance or shape of the helmet in any way, it does not reduce comfort, nor does it affect the technical properties. At the moment of impact, the Mips layer moves with the head regardless of the direction of the impact and limits the rotation of the brain, which can be very dangerous.
