The Trauma Void Pardus MIPS Safety Riding Helmet brings elegance to your safety gear. Featuring a trendy matte finish with glossy accents. Ventilation are stylistically added to the chromed accents for a beautiful yet functional look. An inner lining of Coolmax® technology provides moisture wicking benefits to keep you dry and comfortable. This lining is removable for easy washing. 

Featuring the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System ("MIPS") that was developed in Europe and has been used in other sporting helmets for years, this helmet reduces rotational motion transferred to the brain by angled impact to the head. The helmet-integrated, low-friction layer creates a way for this motion to be absorbed and redirected, without adding any additional bulk or weight to the helmet. 

The Pardus helmets are a slim fit best suited for riders with oblong head shapes. A screw feature at the back of the helmet provides added adjustability for the perfect fit. If you measure between two sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size.

MIPS Technology: 

Where did MIPS come from?
Over the past two decades, a small group of passionate individuals based out of Sweden have made it their mission to find a way to further protect the brain from rotational force and strain when an impact occurs during a crash. This group grew MIPS, which is short for Multi-Directional Impact Protection  System. MIPS can be found in a variety of different helmets, from motocross lids to equine riding helmets. 

What exactly is MIPS?
The MIPS Brain Protection System is a helmet-integrated, low-friction layer designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts to the head. This layer creates a way for the rotational force to be absorbed and redirected rather than transmitted to the brain during an impact. It’s held in place with flexible bands that clip the MIPS liner to the helmet’s foam in multiple anchor points. The system sounds simple, but in reality, this technology was developed and tested over countless hours in a lab.
 
How does it work?
MIPS works by installing a thin (0.5–0.7 mm), ventilated, custom cut low-friction layer inside the helmet liner. The layer is held in place by an assemblage of composite anchors that flex in all directions. These anchors hold the layer in place, around the head, but provide a small movement in response to angled impact. MIPS’ small movement (10-15 mm) relative to the helmet at the brief moment of an angled impact (3–10 milliseconds) allows the head to continue in the direction in which it was originally traveling. This means that some portion of the rotational forces and energies acting on the head at impact are redirected and spread out thanks to the large low-friction layer, rather than being transferred to the brain. Thanks to its thinness, lightness, and integration into the helmet’s existing ventilation, it’s rarely noticed by the wearer, even over extended periods of use.

Helmet Replacement Policy:

Trauma Void offers a replacement policy for your helmet for up to two years from the date it was purchased. In the event of a crash, the Helmet Crash Replacement Policy allows you to purchase a replacement helmet at 50% off your original purchase price. Please contact Riding Warehouse Customer Service at info@ridingwarehouse.com or at 1-800-620-9145 to begin the replacement process.

Helmet Fitting/Measuring: 

To measure for the best fit, find the circumference of the head.  To begin, use a flexible tape measure and place it 1-1/2 cm above the eyebrows, skimming the tops of the ears, take it around the back of the head to the fullest part. Using the rider’s measurement and the chart below, find the corresponding helmet for their size range.  Please note that the rider’s hair should be as worn when using the helmet.
