Helmet with an impact-resistant ABS outer shell and impact-absorbing EPS foam inside. Integrated MIPS protection system.
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a multi-directional impact protection system that can be used in helmets for various purposes. It was developed to improve helmet safety in the event of side impacts, both in leisure activities and outdoor sports such as mountaineering, mountain biking and motorcycle sports. MIPS is a moving layer integrated inside the helmet, close to the head. It is not firmly attached and can move 10–15 millimetres forwards and backwards. In the event of a side impact, this movement uses a sliding motion to help the helmet structure redirect the rotational forces acting on the head and brain. Therefore, helmets with an integrated MIPS system provide a higher level of protection than conventional helmets.
To choose the right helmet size, measure your head circumference. It is recommended to measure with a string approximately 1.5 cm above the ears.
UVEX helmets are tested in a laboratory. The manufacturer states that they comply with standard EN 1078.
