Designed to help reduce rotational motion in angled impacts through low friction.
The Mips® Essential Core system is an injection-molded plastic, low-friction layer placed between the helmet’s comfort padding and its energy-absorbing liner. This permits the layers to move relative to each other, helping to reduce rotational motion to the head in certain angled impacts.
Simple, yet efficient, the Mips® Essential Core system is a solution designed to help reduce rotational motion to the head in certain angled impacts. A perfect introduction to the Mips safety systems, it can be applied in helmets used for bicycling, horse riding, motorcycle riding and skiing.
When a helmet is impacted at an angle, it can cause the head to rotate suddenly and violently. This is a common source of concussions and brain injury.
The Mips® Essential Core system is designed to provide movement inside the helmet to help reduce the rotational motion to the head in certain angled impacts, thereby lowering the risk of such injuries. The system is a simple and robust addition to any helmet – an essential element of helmet safety.
