Troy Lee Designs A3 MIPS

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

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 transmitted 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 occur during angled falls that can be transmitted to the brain and lead to brain injuries. MIPS can reduce both the rotational movement and the risk of brain damage.
