Safety for helmets

The difference is the science inside


Rotational motion can be a major factor in head injuries on the job site. That’s why we designed the Mips® brain protection system for industrial safety helmets. Mips is engineered to reduce rotational motion and minimize the risk of traumatic brain injuries — and ultimately help save lives.

The yellow, low-friction layer attaches to a Mips helmet with rear harness straps and front padding. This construction allows the low-friction layer to move inside and help minimize rotational motion to the head during angled impacts.

Helmet impacts can be off-centered or angled, which can cause rotational motion to the head.

Angled or off-centered impacts can cause the head to rotate abruptly. Research has shown this can lead to concussions and brain trauma.

To help reduce the risk of brain trauma, the Mips system is designed to redirect the damaging rotational motion caused by certain off-centered or angled impacts away from the head.

Industrial workers are at risk for injuries that can cause missed days on the job. Between 2021 amd 2022, over 450,000 workplace slips, trips and falls reslutet in lost workdays in the U.S.

The science behind Mips

Created by a neuroscientist and an engineer, the Mips brain protection system is designed to provide added protection for industiral helmets. During certain angled impact, Mips can reduce harmful forces that might otherwise be transferred to the head.

Not all helmets are built the same.
The difference is on the inside.

Precision-engineered for a higher standard of safety

Injection-molded to fit precisely inside industrial and construction helmets, the Mips layer provides a minimalist aesthetic that blends seamlessly into helmet designs and does not significantly affect weight.
