Sleek looks and extraordinary protection combine to create the Uvex Exxeed MIPS Riding Helmet. A Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) layer protects the brain in the event of a rotational fall, as a hard shell constructed of a tough ABS plastic outer along with an EPS inner shell provides further impact protection. The easy-to-use and adjustable vegan leather straps and 3d IAS system allow riders to customize their helmet for a perfect fit, with options for increased circumference and depth. Finished with a classic matte shell and a glossy piano-finish frame, this helmet creates a stylish look in a helmet sure to "exxeed" expectations in the saddle.

• Dial-Fit

• MIPS Layer With Adjustable Height Settings
• ABS Outer Shell and EPS Inner Shell For Impact Protection
• Matte Finish With Piano Gloss Frame
• Certifications: ASTM F 1163-23, EN 1384:2023-06

Technology:

ABS: Short for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, it is a strong and lightweight plastic that is commonly used in helmet shells. It can be molded into just about any shape, making it ideal for helmet shells with lots of vents. 

EPS: Short for expanded polystyrene, it is the protective material used in athletic helmets, car seats, and more. It acts similarly to styrofoam and is bonded to the outer shell of the helmet. The EPS layer acts almost as a "liner" to the outer ABS shell. 

3D IAS: A multi-point adjustment system allowing riders to adjust the helmet's circumference from the rear dial, and to adjust the helmet's depth via levers under the removable liner. 

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. From 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.
