MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a safety technology designed to reduce the rotational forces that can occur during an impact. When a helmet with MIPS is struck at an angle, the inner layer can move slightly, absorbing some of the rotational energy. This helps protect your brain from injuries that can happen when your head twists during a fall, making MIPS-equipped helmets a safer choice for riders.

The Skull Matrix 360-degree Fit System allows for a customizable fit around your entire head. This means you can adjust the helmet to fit snugly and securely, which is crucial for safety. A well-fitted helmet is less likely to come off during a crash, ensuring maximum protection while also providing comfort for long rides.

Textile Foam Padding is made from fabric materials that offer both comfort and cushioning. This type of padding helps absorb impacts during a fall, making the helmet safer. Additionally, the soft fabric enhances comfort, allowing you to wear the helmet for extended periods without discomfort.

Ventilation is crucial for keeping your head cool and comfortable, especially during long rides or in hot weather. A helmet with good ventilation, featuring multiple openings (like 12 vents), allows air to flow through, reducing sweat buildup and enhancing overall comfort. This means you can focus on your ride without being distracted by heat or discomfort.

An adjustable visor allows you to change its position to block sunlight or improve visibility based on your riding conditions. This feature enhances your comfort and safety by reducing glare and providing a clearer view of the road ahead. Whether you need more shade or a better line of sight, an adjustable visor gives you the flexibility to adapt to your needs.

Yes, helmets equipped with MIPS are versatile and suitable for various types of riding, including mountain biking, road cycling, and recreational riding. The added safety features of MIPS make them a great choice for any rider looking to enhance their protection, regardless of the riding style.
