What is MIPS?

Originally developed by a brain surgeon and a biomechanics scientist, the Mips® Safety System has revolutionised the world of helmet safety. By complementing the helmet with a low-friction layer, designed to move slightly in the event of an impact, the system is designed to help redirect rotational motion away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injury.

How MIPS protects your brain

1. The MIPS Low friction layer adds protection for certain types of impact
2. A low friction layer allows a sliding motion of 10-15mm, in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain. 
3. The MIPS brain protection system is designing to reduce strain to the brain.
