MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System)

The MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature in helmets designed to reduce rotational forces during angled or oblique impacts. It consists of a low-friction layer between the helmet's outer shell and inner padding, allowing the helmet to slide slightly upon impact. This movement helps absorb and redirect rotational energy that can cause brain injuries, providing better protection than traditional helmets that only absorb direct blows. MIPS aims to mimic the brain's natural resilience to rotational forces, enhancing safety without compromising comfort or fit.
