MIPS imitates the brain

Low-friction layer corresponding to human cerebrospinal fluid. The outer shell slides on impact, radically reducing the damage to your brain.

Land on your feet, even when you don't.   

The MIPS patent was developed by some of the world's leading researchers in biomechanics and neuroscience at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. In the same way that cars are now tested for side impact and have airbags at both the front and the side, MIPS is setting a new standard for helmets. You can see for yourself the difference in an oblique impact between helmets with and without MIPS. Exactly the same speed and angle, but with very different outcomes. The pictures speak for themselves - the more red areas, the higher the risk of an injury to the brain. When it comes to safety, a helmet with MIPS is the obvious choice.
