Hendrix Mips Helmet

MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a safety technology designed to reduce the rotational forces that can occur during impacts. It features a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the outer shell to move independently from the inner foam layer. This design helps absorb and redirect energy from impacts at various angles, providing better protection for your head during activities like skiing or biking.

ThinShell Construction utilizes a lightweight outer shell made from materials like ABS or EPS, which balances durability and protection with comfort. This design allows for a lighter helmet that doesn’t compromise on safety, making it easier to wear for extended periods without feeling weighed down.

Compass Fit is an adjustable fit system that uses a dial mechanism to customize the helmet's fit. By turning the dial, you can easily tighten or loosen the helmet for a snug and comfortable fit. This is crucial for safety, as a well-fitted helmet stays securely in place during activities, providing optimal protection.

CPSC certification indicates that the helmet meets specific safety standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Helmets with this certification have undergone rigorous testing for impact resistance and other safety features, ensuring they provide adequate protection for users during activities like cycling, skiing, or snowboarding.

EN1077B and EN1078 are European safety standards for helmets. EN1077B applies to ski and snowboard helmets, while EN1078 is for cycling helmets. Helmets that meet these standards have been tested for their ability to protect against impacts and other hazards, ensuring a high level of safety for users engaged in these activities.

To ensure a helmet is suitable for your activity, look for specific certifications like CPSC for general use, EN1077B for skiing and snowboarding, or EN1078 for cycling. Additionally, consider features like MIPS for enhanced protection and Compass Fit for comfort. Always choose a helmet designed for your specific sport to ensure maximum safety and performance.
