Fox Racing V3 Creo MIPS Helmet

Details

The V3 Creo Helmet is Fox’s flagship, professional-level helmet that ranks up there with best because of its cutting-edge protection and a level of comfort that few other helmets can match.

A lightweight multi-composite shell is the backbone of the V3 and goes a long way to cut down the overall weight of the helmet. It also gives a strong foundation for the dual-density EPS liner and MIPS system to work on. The MIPS system is situated between the EPS and comfort liners where it redirects forces from oblique impacts in order to prevent brain trauma, so it contributes a ton to the safety of the V3. But during normal riding you’re more likely to notice the benefits of the interior padding and comfort liner.

This Dri Lex liner is frequently praised by riders as one of the most comfortable they’ve felt, and while it eliminates pressure points and sore spots, it also wicks moisture away from your head. This pairs well with the several ventilation ports on the V3 (more than most helmets) and gives the V3 a very cool interior temperature regardless of the weather conditions or your level of excursion.

Overall the MIPS system along with the premium materials in the comfort liner and shell are what set the Fox V3 Helmet apart. It’s been worn by more race winners and champions than any other helmet, and if you’re willing to spend the money for a premium helmet, the V3 is one of the best helmets for any type of riding and any level of rider.

  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.
