Description
Our signature style, the Classic 2.0 continues to stand out. Its minimal design, patented vent system and signature brim provide style without compromising protection. Specific to the snow edition is a soft-touch matte finish on a tough ABS shell with an EPS liner tested to reduce the force transmitted to the head in case of a crash. We know from scientific research that the brain is particularly sensitive to rotation. In the event of an impact, the helmet technology provided by a Mips safety system is intended to help reduce the impact of rotational energy to the head by enabling a relative movement between the head and helmet. When such an impact occurs the forces the build-up between the head and helmet are immense. These forces can be compared to the weight of up to 10 people suddenly standing on your head. Under such high pressure, the friction between head and helmet makes it hard for the helmet to move - even if the straps are slightly loose or if the helmet doesnt have a properly secure fit as recommended by the manufacturer. But a Mips low-friction layer inside a helmet can still allow omni-directional movement of 10-15mm when that high load occurs.
