Wilder Jr Mips Helmet - Kids'

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 angled impacts, potentially lowering the risk of brain injuries. Choosing a helmet with MIPS can provide an extra layer of protection for your head during activities.

The VaporFit system is an innovative fit adjustment mechanism that features a dial for easy customization. With a 270-degree adjustment range, it allows you to tighten or loosen the helmet around a larger area of your head, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. This personalized adjustment can enhance your riding experience by preventing the helmet from shifting during movement.

In-mold construction is a manufacturing process that fuses the outer shell of the helmet with the inner foam layer. This technique results in a lightweight yet strong helmet that effectively absorbs impacts. Helmets made with in-mold construction are often more durable and provide better protection without adding unnecessary weight, making them ideal for serious riders.

The AirEvac ventilation system is designed to enhance airflow within the helmet, keeping your head cool and comfortable during rides. It manages airflow to reduce fogging on eyewear, such as goggles or sunglasses, while ensuring consistent ventilation. This feature is particularly beneficial during intense activities or warm weather, allowing you to focus on your performance without overheating.

Fixed vents are permanently open openings in the helmet that allow for continuous airflow. Unlike adjustable vents, which can be modified based on personal preference, fixed vents provide consistent ventilation. This feature helps keep your head cool during warm weather or strenuous activities, ensuring a more comfortable riding experience.

Choosing a helmet with both MIPS and the AirEvac ventilation system offers a combination of enhanced safety and comfort. MIPS provides advanced protection against rotational forces during impacts, while the AirEvac system ensures optimal airflow to keep you cool and reduce fogging. Together, these features make for a safer and more enjoyable riding experience, giving you peace of mind while you ride.
