MIPS changes the way to think about helmet safety. Developed by brain surgeons and scientist to reduce rotational forces on the brain by angled impacts to the head. Adding MIPS to the Evolve 3 Helmet brings state-of-the-art technology other companies charge double the price for. Modern helmet shells have many sculptured ridges and valleys in them. Most helmets, including some very expensive brands, do not have an impact-absorbing EPS liner that follows and fills in those peaks and valleys. The Evolve 3 MIPS dual-density liner does fill in those peaks and valleys and this creates improved impact absorption. Safety is key with all Answer Racing helmets and the Evolve 3 MIPS passes two of the toughest safety standards today.
Injection-molded polycarbonate shell.
MIPS liner in-between the comfort foam and the dual-density EPS liner.
SilverCool® moisture wicking liner is removable for washing. *SilverCool® padding also reduces odor and is antimicrobial.
Nine intake and exhaust vents help keep you cool.
Four eyebrow vents help evaporate sweat before it drips into eyes and goggles.
Wire mesh chinbar vent has foam filter.
Flexible rubber nose/cheek piece to help deflect roost.

MIPS
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a specialized helmet safety technology that is now being used in the top tier of off road helmets in order to greatly lessen the chances of traumatic brain injury.
By integrating an engineered low-friction layer into the liner of the helmet, MIPS enables a relative sliding motion between the head and the helmet so angular and rotational impact forces are absorbed and deflected.
Since most head impacts occur at oblique and unpredictable angles, helmets with MIPS Technology are able to offer better protection than helmets without.
