Merit Spherical Helmet - Women's

In-mold polycarbonate helmets are designed with a manufacturing process that fuses the outer shell and inner foam (EPS liner) together. This results in a helmet that is both lightweight and strong, providing superior protection and durability. The seamless construction also helps to reduce the risk of damage during impacts, making it a safer choice for riders.

MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a cutting-edge safety feature that helps reduce rotational forces during an impact. When a helmet equipped with MIPS is struck at an angle, the inner layer can rotate slightly, absorbing some of the energy and minimizing the risk of brain injuries. This technology is especially beneficial for mountain bikers who may experience falls at various angles.

The Roc Loc Trail Air system is an innovative fit adjustment mechanism that allows you to easily customize the fit of your helmet. With a simple dial or adjustment mechanism, you can tighten or loosen the helmet for optimal comfort and security. This ensures that the helmet stays securely in place while you ride, enhancing both safety and comfort.

Wind tunnel vents are strategically placed openings in the helmet that promote airflow and ventilation. By allowing air to circulate through the helmet, these vents help keep you cool and comfortable during intense activities like mountain biking. The 15 wind tunnel vents in this helmet are designed to maximize airflow, reducing sweat and heat buildup.

The EPS liner, or Expanded Polystyrene, is the inner foam material that absorbs impact energy during a fall. It is lightweight and compresses upon impact, helping to reduce the force transferred to your head. When combined with the in-mold polycarbonate shell, the EPS liner provides effective protection, making the helmet safer for riders.

Choosing a helmet that features both MIPS technology and an EPS liner offers enhanced protection. MIPS helps mitigate rotational forces during angled impacts, while the EPS liner absorbs impact energy. Together, these features provide a comprehensive safety solution, making your helmet more effective in protecting your head during falls or collisions.
