MIPS
108 penetration proof vents
108 vents, molded into the shell for optimal ventilation. Both up and down the hill
Variable Elasticity Advanced Hybrid Shell
The unique lightweight Advanced Hybrid shell construction is a combination of an in-mold helmet and a hard shell helmet. The hard shells reinforce the circumference of the helmet helping to transfer the load of impacts in critical areas, while the in-molded areas ensures elasticity is kept where needed.
STACC ventilation
Superficial Temporal Artery Cooling Channel is a front vent, an internal channel and an exhaust vent that cools down the temporal artery without exposing your temples which is the most vulnerable area of the head. Patent Pending.
Integrated clips for headlamp and goggles
Elastic cords on each side of the helmet that attach and detach easily to accommodate a goggle
MIPS
The MIPS Brain Protection System is a helmet-integrated low-friction layer is designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts to the head.
