Smith Glide MIPS Junior Helmet 2026

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a helmet technology designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts. It features a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows it to slide relative to the head, mimicking the brain’s natural protective mechanisms. This slip-plane system helps dissipate rotational motion, reducing the risk of brain injuries. MIPS can be integrated into various helmet types, including those for cycling, skiing, and other sports.
