The new technology on the block. We’ve done a blog about MIPS already but basically MIPS is a slipping inner liner (usually bright yellow, see pic below) designed to prevent whiplash-style injuries in crashes.
It allows the helmet to move around the head on impact, reducing the initial rotational jerking.
MIPS is currently only found on high end helmets but we expect to see it trickling down to mid-range helmets in a season or two.
