MIPS Technology Helmets

MIPS Technology Helmets

No one wants to think about the worst-case scenario when they’re out on their motorcycle—but in case the worst happens, you want the best head protection available. MIPS motorcycle helmet doesn’t just protect your head from linear impacts, but also helps to mitigate rotational forces as well. MIPS stands for multi-directional impact protection system. MIPS technologies were designed by a company in Stockholm, Sweden and licensed out to motorcycle helmet manufacturers around the world. MIPS-enhanced head protection is available to both street and dirt riders, as well as bicyclists.

What makes a MIPS helmet different? The scientists behind MIPS spent years studying the human brain to learn how to protect it better. The most traumatic damage to the brain results not from linear impacts, but from rotational forces—any blow where the brain is rotating around the brain stem. To prevent this twisting, MIPS did more than just add an extra layer of foam. They added a low-friction liner between the rider’s comfort layer and the foam impact layer. This enables relative motion between your head and the helmet, mimicking your brain’s natural protection against rotational forces and keeping you safer.
