alpine mips helmet

Ski/snowboard helmet with MIPS protective system and secure in-mould construction (EPS) with PC shell. Also features simple size-adjustment at the neck and soft plush lining for optimal fit and comfort. It also has stepless ventilation adjustment to correspond to different weather conditions and for personal preference. Soft earpads help the helmet to sit comfortably and make it easier for you to communicate with others. The Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) was developed in order to provide additional protection against forces of rotational motion that are transferred to the brain in the event of angled impact. Angled impact is the most common form of impact when falling, regardless of whether the fall is from (e.g.) a bicycle, skis or a horse. Rotational motion is a combination of rotational energy and rotational forces generated by the angled acceleration, which both affect the brain and increase the risk of (mild or severe) brain damage. When installed in a helmet, the MIPS protective system has been shown to reduce the rotational motion by redirecting the energies and forces that would otherwise be transferred to the brain.
