[url= http://mipshelmet.com/home ]Anyone running a Mips helmet yet, then? [/url]

Was looking at the Poc ones recently. Looks a very simple, yet clever system.


MIPS is a system used to reduce the rotational force to the brain in case of oblique impacts. Accident statistics show that the most common accident occurs in an oblique impact to the head, resulting in a rotation of the head and brain. The brain is more sensitive to oblique impacts than radial impacts.

In a helmet equipped with MIPS technology, a low friction layer separates the shell and the inside of the helmet. When subjected to an oblique impact, the low friction layer allows a small controlled rotation of the shell relative to the lining.

Anyone got any experience of them yet?
