Marker AMPIRE 2 MIPS skihelmet, maroon/black

• Weight: 612gr
• Shell: Hybrid Shell
  HYBRID SHELL CONSTRUCTION: The best of both worlds for the highest safety demands: HYBRID SHELL CONSTRUCTION combines the weight and comfort advantages of In-Mold technology with the robustness of Hard Shell construction. In the event of an impact, the hard shell distributes the pressure over the entire surface and offers maximum resistance. Optimal protection is provided by the very light In-Mold lower head shell, as it perfectly encloses the back of the head. The result is a state-of-the-art top helmet with low overall weight, excellent comfort and ABS upper shell for maximum safety, best ventilation and discreet, stylish look.
• MIPS - Multi-directional Impact Protection System
  The additional MIPS improves the protection in case of rotational impact, more info: see below...
• Xdry PERFORMANCE LINING
  The Ampire 2 Mips comes with two interchangeable and washable liners: a particularly sweat-absorbing Xdry liner and a softer and warmer fleece version. Both can be easily changed
  The structured material keeps out the cold and allows air to escape when there is excess heat. It also wicks moisture away to prevent excessive sweating.
  Quickly removable and hand-washable in lukewarm water.
• MarkAIR CHANNEL SYSTEM
  Advanced temperature regulation consisting of a network of vents and air channels.
  The MarkAIR CHANNEL SYSTEM literally sucks the warm, humid air out of the goggles, simultaneously creating a pleasant, constant air flow that floods the entire system and regulates it automatically
• 2 POSITION CLIMATE CONTROL
  Two-stage control (partially or fully closed) for individually controlled helmet ventilation - even when wearing gloves and while riding! When the system is open to the maximum, the special design of the outlets prevents the head from getting too cold.
• RTS FIT SYSTEM
  The three-point construction at the back of the head can be adjusted to your individual head shape in seconds. For the best possible wearing comfort, a play-free fit and extra safety. Can be operated with just one hand, even with a glove.
  Fidlock magnetic hook buckle
  The first magnetic safety buckle with sliding mechanism that can be opened and locked with one hand. Works even with glove on!
• Fidlock magnetic hook buckle
  The first magnetic safety buckle with sliding mechanism that can be opened and locked with one hand. Works even with glove on!
• SOGNAR removable ear pads
  3D-modelled, pressure-free ear pads that allow for different configurations depending on temperature, head shape and use of goggles or sunglasses. Each configuration offers significantly better hearing than before.
  Of course, the SoGnar ear pads can also be removed completely
• Certificate: CE EN 1077, CLASS B / ASTM 2040

About MIPS® Brain Protection System:
MIPS stands for Multi Directional Impact Protection System - A system that is designed to protect against impacts with different directions of movement/force.
These different directions of force are caused by impacts that hit the helmet at an angle. Classic helmets best absorb static (straight) impacts that strike at a right angle and do not create a rotational force.
Since static impacts are unrealistic and you usually hit the ground or other obstacles at an angle, the MIPS system was developed. It absorbs both static forces and rotational forces.

The model of the MIPS system is the human brain.
To protect the brain, there is a fluid between the brain and the skull bone. In the event of a blow to the head, the resulting rotational force is dissipated by minimal movements of this fluid layer and the force is not transmitted to the brain.
MIPS is a copy of this layer, so to speak.
For this purpose, a movable second shell is mounted in the outer shell of the helmet. This second shell rests directly on the head.
Now, if an impact occurs at an angle, the resulting rotational force is not transferred to the head, but is dissipated by the movement between the first and second shells. This system is very effective and can be integrated into any helmet without major problems.
