The Uvex quatro cc MIPS helmet features MIPS, a double-moulded construction and 17 ventilation openings. Its size is adjustable with the Anatomic IAS system.
MIPS stands for “Multi-Directional Impact Protection System”. This technology can be used in helmets for various purposes. It was developed to increase protection from oblique impacts in leisure and outdoor sports, such as mountaineering, mountain biking and motorcycling, as well as in the workplace. MIPS is a movable layer inside the helmet, close to the head. It is not rigidly attached and can move back and forth by 10–15 mm. In the event of a side impact, this range of movement allows the helmet construction to redirect the rotational force acting on the head and brain through a sliding motion. Helmets with MIPS provide a higher level of protection than conventional helmets.
The protective EPS material is moulded directly into the polycarbonate shell and covered underneath by an additional polycarbonate shell. This technology makes it possible to create a lightweight and strong helmet. The lower polycarbonate shell provides additional protection. EPS is a special material with microscopic air bubbles that effectively absorbs the impact energy experienced in a fall.
The helmet size can be adjusted easily and precisely with one hand by turning the dial at the back of the helmet. Adjust the helmet to your head circumference. Its vertical position can also be adjusted.
The anatomically shaped buckle allows the helmet to be fastened and unfastened easily with one hand. The strap length is adjusted incrementally. A chin pad provides additional comfort.
The strap position can be easily adapted to the shape of your head. The straps are adjustable at several points.
Vent padding is made of moisture-wicking material and has special ventilation channels. The padding is comfortable, does not irritate the skin and dries quickly. It can be removed and washed.
Measure your head circumference before buying to choose the right helmet size. It is recommended to measure with a string approximately 1.5 cm above the ears.
Each helmet is tested in a laboratory. Complies with EN 1078.
