Mips
Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology comes standard in all Pret X helmets. MIPS sets the highest standard in helmet protection and safety using a low-friction slip plane designed to rotate inside the helmet, absorbing rotational energy and reducing the tearing effect on the brain.
Not all MIPS systems are the same. Pret uses only the latest C2 system for the lightest weight and best fit.
Traditional helmets are designed and tested for straight impacts, but most impacts are angled, which can cause rotational motion to the head.
The rotational motion can cause brain injuries.
The Low Friction Layer is intended to help reduce the rotational motion to the head in certain angled impacts.
