The Uvex react MIPS helmet features the MIPS system, Multi-inmould technology and adjustable sizing.
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 thoroughly tested in a laboratory. UVEX states that the helmet complies with the EN 1078 standard.
MIPS stands for “Multi-Directional Impact Protection System” and is used in helmets for various purposes. It was developed to improve protection from oblique impacts during leisure and outdoor sports, such as mountaineering, mountain biking and motorcycling, as well as at work. MIPS is a moving layer inside the helmet, closer to the head. It is not rigidly fixed and can move back and forth by 10-15 millimeters. In the event of a side impact, this range of movement allows the helmet’s construction to redirect the rotational force away from the user’s head and brain. According to the source, helmets with MIPS provide a higher level of protection than conventional helmets.
The 3D IAS system allows the helmet to be adjusted for different head sizes and shapes by turning the adjustment dial. The space inside the helmet adapts to the size and circumference of the head.
The anatomical design of the Monomatic buckle allows the helmet to be fastened and unfastened with one hand. The strap length can be adjusted incrementally. A chin pad provides additional comfort.
Basic padding is fitted inside the helmet. It helps wick away moisture. The padding is easy to remove and washable; it is also hypoallergenic.
