An injection molded outer shell and EPS inner shell create a highly effective safety combination: impact resistant exterior, shock absorbing and insulating interior.

This complex construction allows perfectly placed, closable air vents and channels to be built-in, and exceptional wearing comfort.

Modern (non-MIPS) helmets are wonderful pieces of technology in terms of their impact resistance. They are designed – and tested – to help prevent skull fractures and other major blunt-force trauma. They are not, however, designed to mitigate the forces that can cause a concussion.

A Swedish company called Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) patented the slip plane concept (what it calls a low-friction layer), using two layers in the helmet (the MIPS “liner”) to help mitigate the rotational force of an impact, which can result in a concussion or other brain injury. Here’s how the company itself describes the technology:

“In a helmet with MIPS Brain Protection System the shell and the liner are separated by a low friction layer. When a helmet with MIPS Brain Protection System is subjected to an angled impact, the low friction layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head.”

Protective EPS material is foamed directly into the polycarbonate shell.

It creates a lightweight helmet with highest impact resistance. A perfect fusion of polycarbonate outer shell and EPS inner layer.

Advanced technology bonds a durable hardshell outer helmet to an inmould lower section, and combines them with an EPS inner shell. 
Advanced: ample space for vents and channels, for perfect ventilation. 

uvex helmets with uvex IAS system can be adjusted in width. After all, everyone has their own head shape.

Heads don’t only differ in circumference; they also differ in height.

The uvex IAS 3D system offers the extra feature of precise adjustment to individual head height.

Better hearing significantly improves safety. We have developed a special membrane for accurate representation of ambient sounds. Draught-free ear pads designed for maximum comfort.

uvex places the highest value on optimal ventilation: cleverly designed ventilation channels draw in fresh air and expel warm air.

Uncomfortable heat build-up is thus avoided.

The uvex monomatic comfort lock can be opened and closed with one hand.

Fast Adapting System webbing can be easily and continuously tailored to your exact head shape. The helmet stays securely on the head in all situations and the webbing straps are always in the best position.

uvex ski helmets offer more comfort, even in the smallest details: the integrated headband holder secures the goggles automatically safe on the helmet in every situation.

uvex liners are moisture wicking, anti-allergenic and easy to remove for washing.
