TECHNOLOGY:

 

MIPS® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System): This system is based on a hard plastic shell placed inside the helmet. Fixed to the helmet with multi-directional attachments, the MIPS system can move in all directions inside the helmet. The aim is to let the helmet move freely on the head in the event of an oblique impact. By turning around the head, the helmet absorbs and dissipates the force of the impact, thus reducing the effect on the brain.

This system, seemingly simple, strongly reduces the forces linked to a fall, whether skiing or mountain biking.

 

BOA: Closing system with multiple advantages:

  • Durability: tested in the toughest conditions and approved to resist to shocks
  • Perfect fit: infinite adjustment possibilities for maximum comfort
  • Micro-adjustment: each adjustment click provides 1mm tightening
  • Safety: once the coil is closed, the laces do not move
  • Comfort: easy one hand adjustment

FIDLOCK: Magnetic buckle attachment system Provides extreme functionality as the fastener can open and close even with gloves.

  • Easy one-hand opening system
  • Opening with gloves
  • Doesn't pinch the skin

 

CONSTRUCTION:

 

Injected ABS: A construction that provides high resistance and improved shock absorption compared to other constructions. Helmets made this way have 2 parts that are joined and bonded: a hard ABS plastic outer shell and an expanded polystyrene (EPS) inner layer.

The ABS material is recognised for its shockproof properties, hardness and lightness that allows it to be moulded easily. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) provides thermal insulation and resistance to shocks and compression.

In-Mold: Construction with unique moulding between the outer shell and the inner lining, significantly reducing the weight of the helmet and providing more efficient ventilation. This unique construction also ensures a better diffusion of the impact over a larger part of the helmet.

The outer shell made from polycarbonate (known for its excellent impact resistance) is directly moulded with the expanded polystyrene (EPS) inner foam.
