“We had an incredible year in 2014. MIPS added 22 new brand partners and will be integrated into over 80 helmets across all categories by early 2015,” says Johan Thiel, MIPS CEO. “Our hope is for MIPS to be a non-negotiable technology in any sport that requires a helmet, so adding partners and helmet styles proves beneficial to active participants in a multitude of sports.”
The new 2015 MIPS helmet collection includes some of the most technologically advanced helmets on the market. Click on the image gallery to find out more about each helmet.
MIPS technology in helmets reduces the rotational forces to the brain during an oblique impact. Helmets are designed to absorb direct impacts but when combined with MIPS, they absorb oblique forces by allowing a small rotation of the outer shell relative to the liner. This technology mimics the function of cerebral spinal fluid in the human head and adds a second layer of safety that can reduce damage to the brain during impact.
The MIPS helmet collection will be on display at SIA Snow Show, January 29-31 in Denver and ISPO, February 5-8 in Munich. To schedule an appointment or for additional product information please contact carl.johnson@backbonemedia.net.
