Swedish company MIPS continues to expand their platform, bringing rotational force-dampening technology to hard shell helmets in law enforcement and the armed forces.
MIPS has developed a new product designed especially for the ballistic helmets used by law enforcement and military personnel, as well as those in snow sports. Like all MIPS products, the core technology addresses the rotational forces that are linked to brain injuries, with the decades of research and study that went into the flagship MIPS system. This new product design, however, is refined to specifically meet the safety needs within the law enforcement and armed forces community.
A series of Flexible Retention Organisms (elastomers) and nylon brackets that are molded into the helmet allow the foam liner to move independent of the low-friction layer and the outer shell, resulting in at least a 10% reduction in the damaging rotational motion resulting from oblique impacts.
The first helmet launched within LEAF will be SAFE4U Security of Sweden AB, a ballistic helmet model S4U SOG MIPS System. SAFE4U is a Swedish company driven by a constant desire for innovation. Development and design of protective body armour is their core business. This is done with high technology, experience, knowledge and innovation. Models featuring the MIPS:F2 will come to market in Spring of 2018.
