MIPS M U LT I - D I R EC TI ON AL I MPACT PROTECTION SYSTEM
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT CRASH. MIPS IMITATES THE BRAIN’S PROTECTIVE FLUID. The secret behind MIPS’ unique patent comes from the human brain. The brain is surrounded by a low-friction cushion of cerebrospinal fluid. MIPS gives the helmet its own low-friction layer between the EPS and comfort liner, to absorb much of the energy created by an angled blow to the head. The combination of the brain’s own protection and MIPS ensures maximum protection–simple and effective.
WITH MIPS
In laboratory tests, adding the MIPS layer reduced rotational acceleration by dampening crash forces and decreasing stress to the brain.
