Question 1

Are MIPS helmets worth it?

Accepted Answer

MIPS helmets utilize a low friction layer inside of the helmet that moves 10-15mm on certain angled impacts to help reduce the rotational forces on the head. By transferring these rotational forces to your helmet instead of your brain, MIPS is able better protect you in a crash. MIPS helmets are worth the added cost.

,

MIPS (Multi Impact Protection System) is an internal helmet structure that reduces the chances and intensity of a concussion in the event of a crash. It is very worth it to have this in your helmet.

,

This paragraph describes the purpose of MIPS helmet technology. MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is very much worth any added cost for a helmet. The brain is a very important and FRAGILE part of your body. The brain is enclosed inside your skull and is protected by membranes and fluid. When you crash, your brain is jostled, which is not ideal. The MIPS technology includes usually a yellow lining on the inside of the helmet and helps decrease brain movement/jostling. Anytime you buy a helmet, make sure if they use the MIPS technology that your helmet model includes it.

Question 2

How do I know if my helmet has MIPS?

Accepted Answer

MIPS helmets have the yellow MIPS circle logo on the back of the helmet. Most helmets with MIPS also have MIPS in the title of the helmet.

,

MIPS -- which stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a licensed technology used by many helmet manufacturers to help decrease the rotational impact on riders heads during dragging falls. You can tell that your helmet has MIPS if it has the MIPS symbol on the helmet: a yellow circle, usually towards the back of the helmet, with "MIPS" inside it.

,

To determine if your helmet has MIPS, look for a yellow MIPS logo on the rear of the helmet. You can also consult the materials your helmet came with or the manufacturer's website.

Question 3

What helmets use MIPS?

Accepted Answer

MIPS is independent of any helmet manufacturer and can be utilized by any company. Currently, there are over 140 helmet brands utilizing MIPS technology. Some brands use MIPS technology on only some models. Some brands even make models with and without MIPS.

,

There’s over 60 helmet manufacturers that use MIPS technology in their helmets. As it becomes more standard, you will find it more often in helmets of all price ranges. Typically MIPS has to be designed uniquely for each helmet, so for a long time it was only offered in higher-end applications.

,

Currently over 120 brands utilize the MIPS technology for bike, snow and even equestrian helmets. MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System) and as of 2020, over 720 different helmets utilized this technology in their construction. The technology was created in 2001 by members of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The MIPS system itself is a low friction layer sitting between the foam and the helmet liner, a which allows for a sliding motion and aims to reduce the transfer of rotational motion onto your brain.

Question 4

What is MIPS Giro?

Accepted Answer

MIPS is a helmet technology available on Giro and many other cycling helmets. MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System -- and is designed to reduce the rotational force on helmet-wearers heads during falls in which the helmet drags agains the surface. It does this by allowing the wearer's head to rotate inside the shell during those falls. MIPS is standard on most new helmets, including Giro's cycling and snow-sports helmets. and can be identified by a "MIPS " marking inside a yellow circle towards the back of the helmet. In short, MIPS is new technology designed to make helmets safer - and it present in many helmets from Giro and other manufacturers.

,

MIPS stands for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System and it is a company that specializes in helmet-based safety and protection. Over 140 brands use MIPS technology in their helmets so it is widely used. Giro is one of the helmet brands that uses the MIPS technology in their helmets. So when you see a helmet that is a Giro MIPS helmet it means that it is a helmet made by Giro that uses the MIPS technology for added safety.

,

Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) is a sublayer of the helmet that is designed to reduce rotational trauma to the neck and brain during the event of an impact. While MIPS is available as a technology from many helmet manufacturers, Giro has performed the most extensive testing and research into perfecting it.
