At Mips, we are happy that our work is getting more and more attention. So, what does Mips mean? Now you know that, among other things, it means a safety system for helmets, designed to help direct the rotational motion away from the head. Frequently asked questions ...
Learn about MIPS, the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System, and why this technology is taking the helmet industry by storm.
How does MIPS work? In this diagram, you can see where the yellow MIPS layer sits within a helmet. - MIPS In short, MIPS works by using a moving layer to prevent rotational impacts from passing onto your brain. But, as you might have guessed, it’s all a bit more complicated than...
What do the ratings mean? Virginia Tech explains that: A helmet's rating is comprised of two components: the STAR score and the number of stars. STAR stands for the Summation of Tests for the Analysis of Risk, and the STAR score is calculated based on a helmet's performance in a ...
steel anvil onto the anvil.] This standard also features a lower test line on the sides and back of the helmet than most other bike helmet standards. While chin bars are not required to pass this test, if a helmet does feature a chin bar, the bar must pass a deflection test as well...
MIPS is an additional layer, or slip-plane, inside the helmet designed to reduce the rotational forces on the brain, which can be experienced in certain impacts. Glasses or gogglesGlasses or goggles help protect your eyes from the sun and dirt kicked up by your front wheel. - Ian Linton...
merino-based PEdALED Essential baselayer and the Yuki Thermo gloves. To complete this winter get-up in style, we’ve added the recently launched MET Rivale MIPS helmet, KOO Demos glasses and Fizik Infinito R1 shoes – all in gleaming white, of course. Before questioning the sense behind this...
Aside from fit, the other important aspects of ski and snowboard helmets are advanced safety technologies like MIPS, weight, and audio integration. Each of these additional features can add significantly to cost, but give you plenty of options to find the right helmet for you. ...
