The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. The Mips system is used in many helmet types and by 100+ brands.
MIPS is made up of a thin layer of material incorporated into the inside of a helmet, commonly referred to as a slip plane, or a slip liner. It is independent of the helmet shell, but...
Mips is a company where we manufacture a safety system designed for helmets. This system is developed with the intention of reducing rotational motion to the brain in the event of a crash. Research indicates that rotational motion poses a higher risk of brain damage compared to direct impacts.
Learn about MIPS, the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System, and why this technology is taking the helmet industry by storm.
Over the years, Mips® safety systems have become a staple feature in helmets from the world’s leading manufacturers. From cycling and snow sports to motorsports, team sports, and even construction, Mips® has elevated safety standards across a range of industries and activities.
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a head-protection system designed to enhance the safety of various helmets. Rotational motion results in shearing and/or stretching of brain tissue and increases the risk of brain injuries. [1]
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection and is an 'ingredient' safety technology that over 120 brands incorporate into their helmets. In 2020, there were around 729 helmets with...
Mips refers to a plastic low-friction layer in the interior of a helmet that is designed to help redirect rotational motion sustained from some angled impacts away from the head. We’ll dive more into the mechanics of Mips, the various types of Mips and why rotational forces are dangerous below.
An acronym for M ulti-Directional I mpact P rotection S ystem, MIPS is an integrated safety feature embedded in bike helmets. It’s primarily designed to reduce rotational forces in a head impact, which are a leading cause of brain injuries.
Simply put, MIPS is an insert that goes in your helmet. But there’s nothing simple about it. Contrary to what some might believe, MIPS is not a helmet (although the company’s early days did involve making a helmet – it got shelved early in the prototype phase).
