• MIPS® BRAIN PROTECTION SYSTEMMIPS® BRAIN PROTECTION SYSTEM

If you are seeking the best protection that money can buy then look no further. SCOTT helmets with integrated MIPS® Brain Protection System offer a dimension in safety. No matter where or how you ride, choose a SCOTT helmet and Elevate Your Safety!
 
TESTING AND RESULTS: TAKING A FALL WITH A SCOTT MIPS®-EQUIPPED HELMET IS VERY DIFFERENT 

- A traditional helmet: Helmets are designed and optimized for straight impacts. They do not consider angled impacts. In an angled impact, rotational violence is transferred to the head and the brain

- A helmet equipped with MIPS: MIPS is a low-friction layer inside the helmet which allows the head to rotate relative to the helmet in an angled impact. This substantially reduces rotational violence and the potential for damage to the brain.

- HOW PEOPLE FALL?

Conventional helmets are tested by dropping them vertically onto a solid surface. They are designed to protect you from straight / radial impacts. For over 15 years, MIPS has researched how people crash in the real world. Collaborating with some of the world's leading neurosurgeons and experts, MIPS® has established that when you fall, your head most often hits the ground at an angle, creating a rotational shock to the brain1. This rotational shock can cause strain in your brain. A helmet with MIPS® absorbs much of that rotational energy, offering you better protection. And if, against all the odds, you do fall vertically onto your head, a SCOTT helmet with MIPS® will protect you just as well as an ordinary helmet.

 
- MIPS IMITATED THE BRAIN'S OWN PROTECTION SYSTEM
 
The brain is suspended in a low-friction cerebrospinal fluid which allows your brain to slide within your skull to protect the brain under impact. MIPS®  Brain Protection System is a unique technology intended to protect your brain against angled impacts by imitating the brain's natural low-friction barrier, thereby reducing the shock transmitted to your brain. Under angled impact the helmet slides on the MIPS® low-friction layer, minimizing the rotational violence transfered to the brain.

• MRAS2 FIT SYSTEM

The Micro Rotary Adjustment System II is SCOTT’s top of the line fit system offering unparalleled comfort, adjustment and stability. It features and optimized ergonomic fit designed to work seamlessly with the helmet and padding. It also features an easy to use ergonomic dial enabling one handed fit adjustment.

• OPTIMIZED VENTING

Strategically placed outer vents connects to extensive inner cooling channels.

• REFLECTIVE SAFETY

Elevate your safety.

• PC IN-MOLD CONSTRUCTION

During the in-mold manufacturing process, the outer shell of polycarbonate material is fused with the helmet’s impact-absorbent foam liner, creating a super-lightweight outer shell. With reduced weight and bulk surrounding the head, in-mold helmets are more comfortable than traditional helmets.
