MIPS works by installing a thin (0.5–0.7 mm), ventilated,
custom cut low-friction layer inside the helmet liner. The
layer is held in place by an assemblage of composite
anchors that flex in all directions. These anchors hold
the layer in place, around the head, but provide a small
movement in response to angled impact.
The MIPS Brain Protection System is designed to
reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from
angled impacts to the head. Brain injuries originate
not only from direct impacts to the head, but also from
rotational forces resulting from impacts occurring at an
angle. The MIPS technology is scientifically proven to
reduce rotational motion by absorbing and redirecting
rotational energies and forces transferred to the brain
from angled impacts to the head.

STRAIN LEVEL
= The more red the more strain
The graphic was generated using a finite element
computer model based on measurements obtained from
nine accelerometers in a Hybrid III crash test dummy head.
The dummy head wearing a helmet was subjected to an
angled impact using the MIPS test rig. The model illustrates
strain in the brain from a similar angled impact when the
dummy head is wearing a helmet without MIPS and a
helmet with MIPS.
