Troy Lee Designs A3 MIPS

Inmolding refers to a technology that optimizes the weight, ventilation, and stability of the helmet. The outer shell is bonded with the impact-absorbing EPS material into a single unit during the manufacturing process.

MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a fall protection system that includes a low-friction layer beneath the helmet padding. This layer reduces the rotational forces transferred to the brain upon impact. It allows the head to move 10-15 mm relative to the helmet in all directions during a fall, redirecting energies and forces that would otherwise be transmitted to the brain.

MIPS helmets are designed to protect the brain from oblique impacts, as rotational forces are generated during angled falls that can be transferred to the brain and lead to brain injuries. MIPS can reduce both the rotational movement and the risk of brain damage.
