Highlights & Technologies:

MIPS: WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane system within the helmet. It is designed to rotate inside the helmet and thus slow down or reduce the impact energy acting on the brain, which helps reduce head injuries caused by rotational impacts.

WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration may cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue caused by these motions may result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow down or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.

DOUBLE INMOULD:
Additional stability, seamless protection, a low weight and all this from a single mould is provided by the Double Inmould technology. The inseparable connection of shock-absorbing EPS hard foam and two overlapping and seamlessly connected polycarbonate helmet shells ensures high stability and low weight.

ANATOMIC IAS:
Individual adjustment to your head circumference with one hand only. A rubber coated dial provides improved grip.

FAS:
The abbreviation stands for Fast Adapting System. An infinitely adjustable strap system allows for an individual adjustment of the straps according to head shape and preferences.

MONOMATIC:
Secure, comfortable fit and easy handling at the touch of a button. The multi-stage, anatomic uvex monomatic comfort fastener can be used with one hand only at the touch of a button. This way, you can precisely adjust the length of the chin strap and ensure a secure fit of the helmet.
