Smith Compass Helmet – MIPS 2019

Smooth, flowing lines and elegant finishing details complement the Compass’s low profile ultra-light in-mold construction. Combining AirEvac2 ventilation and soft women’s X-Static lining beneath a refined collection of designs, the Compass is the ideal helmet for women of discriminating tastes.

MIPS technology (Multi-directional impact protection system):
MIPS is used to reduce the rotational forces to the brain in the case of an oblique impact. Smith helmets are created to absorb direct impacts very efficiently and when combined with MIPS, Smith helmets absorb oblique forces better by allowing a small rotation of the outer shell relative to the liner.
MIPS in action

MIPS IN ACTION:
When you fall to the ground at an angle rotational forces are generated. A helmet integrating MIPS technology creates a sliding layer between the outer shell and the head. This allows the helmet’s outer shell to slide relative to the head when hitting the ground, so the rotational force is decreased, reducing the potential to damage your brain.
