Sweet Protection PRIMER MIPS MTB Helmet

Designed for mountain biking: The PRIMER MIPS MTB helmet by Sweet Protection is a true trail hero, thanks to a well thought-out combination of safety, comfort and a progressive look. At the heart of this bike helmet is the robust yet lightweight two-shell helmet material. Additional protection is provided by the adjustable break-away visor and the built-in MIPS system, which reduces rotational forces on the head in the event of an impact.

The 360 OCCIGRIP fitting system makes it possible to adjust the size in all directions. In addition to precise adjustments on a horizontal level, you can also make individual height adjustments – even on the fly! What’s more, the height adjustment makes it more comfortable to wear the helmet with a plait.

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 MIPS 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 down 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.

360 OCCIGRIP:
The fitting system creates a customised fit that can be easily adjusted on the go with the help of the dial. The sizing system runs completely around your head on a horizontal axis. Thanks to its slim design, it is barely noticeable and yet particularly effective. In the 360 version, the Sweet Protection system also has an on the fly height adjustment for an even better fit.
