S-Works Evade 3 Mips Helmet

MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a safety technology used in helmets to reduce the risk of brain injury during impacts. It features a low-friction layer that allows the helmet's outer shell to move slightly upon impact, redirecting energy and minimizing rotational forces. This is especially crucial for cycling helmets, where falls can lead to serious head injuries.

Dual-density EPS foam is made from two different hardness levels of Expanded Polystyrene. The denser foam absorbs more impact energy, providing superior protection during high-energy impacts, while the softer foam offers comfort and manages lower-energy impacts. This combination ensures that you get both safety and comfort while riding.

The Tri-Fix web splitter is a feature in the helmet's fit adjustment system that keeps the straps in place and allows for easy adjustments. This design ensures a snug and comfortable fit, preventing the helmet from shifting during rides. A secure fit is essential for both safety and comfort, especially during long rides.

The rear diffuser is designed to enhance both aerodynamics and ventilation. It allows air to flow smoothly over the back of the helmet, reducing drag and improving airflow. This feature helps keep you cool and comfortable during long rides or races, allowing you to maintain speed without overheating.

The ANGi-ready micro-dial fit system is an adjustable mechanism that allows you to customize the fit of your helmet easily. The small dial can be turned to tighten or loosen the helmet, ensuring it stays securely in place. Being ANGi-ready means the helmet can be paired with the ANGi crash sensor, which detects crashes and can alert emergency contacts if needed, adding an extra layer of safety.

Helmets equipped with MIPS, dual-density EPS foam, Tri-Fix web splitter, rear diffuser, and ANGi-ready systems offer enhanced safety, comfort, and performance. These features work together to protect your head during impacts, provide a secure fit, improve ventilation, and even offer crash detection capabilities. Investing in a helmet with these technologies can significantly enhance your riding experience and peace of mind.
