MIPS Technology

MIPS

Mips, or multi-directional impact protection system, uses a slip plane designed to manage energy from rotational and angular impacts.

How It Works

Mips uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.

Why It’s Important

When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration can cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. The stretching of the tissue that can be caused by these motions can result in various types of brain injury. We believe that helmets equipped with Mips technology can provide an additional measure of protection in certain impacts.
