Nomad 2 Mips Helmet

MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a safety technology designed to reduce the rotational forces that can occur during an impact. It features a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the outer shell to move independently from the inner foam layer. This movement helps absorb and redirect energy from impacts, potentially lowering the risk of brain injuries, making it a crucial feature for anyone serious about safety while riding.

An in-mold polycarbonate shell is created by fusing the outer shell with the inner foam layer during manufacturing. This process results in a helmet that is both lighter and more durable. The strength of polycarbonate ensures better protection while enhancing comfort, making it an excellent choice for riders who want a helmet that won’t weigh them down.

The Ergo Fit system features an easy-to-use adjustment mechanism, often a dial, that allows you to customize the fit of the helmet. A secure fit is essential for safety, as it keeps the helmet in place during rides. This system ensures that you can achieve a snug and comfortable fit, which is vital for both performance and protection.

Ventilation is crucial for keeping riders cool and comfortable during physical activity. A helmet with multiple vents, like one with 15 openings, promotes airflow, helping to prevent overheating. This feature is especially important during intense rides, as it allows heat and moisture to escape, enhancing your overall riding experience.

A removable visor offers versatility and customization for riders. It protects your eyes from sunlight, rain, and debris, but can be easily taken off when not needed or if you prefer a different style. This feature allows you to adapt your helmet to various riding conditions and personal preferences, making it a practical addition to your gear.

A properly fitting helmet should sit level on your head, with the front edge just above your eyebrows. You should be able to adjust the fit using the Ergo Fit system, ensuring it feels snug but not too tight. When you shake your head, the helmet should stay in place without shifting. If it moves around, it may be too loose, and you should consider trying a different size or model.
