YOUTH MAINFRAME MIPS MTB Helmet

The YOUTH MAINFRAME MIPS MTB helmet for kids by FOX is equipped with both the proven MIPS impact protection and EPS foam to provide better safety in the event of an accident. The injection-moulded EPS not only ensures the helmet's stability, but also efficient cooling of the head. In addition, the MTB children’s helmet offers a slightly extended coverage area, which can provide extra protection.
The mountain bike helmet’s moisture-wicking and removable inner lining also creates a comfortable feeling and the 360-degree adjustment system ensures an optimal fit.

EPS:
This foam is used in helmets not only to provide ideal impact absorption, but also to keep the weight low.

MIPS: WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane system within the helmet. It is designed to rotate inside the helmet and thus slow down or reduce the impact energy acting on the brain, which helps reduce head injuries caused by rotational impacts.

WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration may cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue caused by these motions may result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.
