What is MIPS?

The Mips® safety system is designed to add protection in helmets against rotational motion. Rotational motion is a combination of rotational energy (angular velocity) and rotational forces (from angular acceleration). This rotational motion results in shearing and/or stretching of brain tissue which affects the brain and increases the risk of brain injuries from the impact.

The main component of the Mips® safety system is the Mips® low friction layer, which imitates the brain’s own protection system and enables a relative motion between the head and the helmet. Mips is an abbreviation for Multi-directional Impact Protection System and the Mips® safety system is designed to work with any impact from any angle.
