MIPS stands for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System. This technology can be used in helmets for a variety of purposes. MIPS was designed to improve helmet protection in oblique impacts, both in recreational and outdoor sports such as climbing, mountain biking and motorcycling, and in the workplace.
MIPS is a moving layer integrated inside the helmet, close to the head. It is not rigidly fixed and can move by 10–15 mm. In the event of a side impact, this movement allows the helmet to redirect rotational forces acting on the wearer’s head and brain. Helmets equipped with MIPS therefore offer a higher level of protection than conventional helmets.
To choose the right helmet size, measure your head circumference with a measuring tape or a piece of string about 1.5 cm above your ears.
Every UVEX helmet is tested at a testing centre to ensure its quality and function. Standard: EN 1078.
