A very durable foam helmet, the Black Diamond Vision MIPS features a fusion of EPP foam, an EPS foam puck, and a polycarbonate shell, which keeps the dings and dents at bay, as well as cutting-edge MIPS (Multidirectional Impact Protection) technology. The MIPS system is designed to add protection against the rotational motion (or kinematics) transmitted to the brain from angled impacts to the head. This added protection system has been proven to reduce the rotational motion when implemented in a helmet by absorbing and redirecting energies and forces otherwise transmitted to the brain. Improved side and back coverage add a new level of protection that meets proposed UIAA requirements, while the strategically placed ventilation ports are great for hot rock holidays. The suspension system and chin strap are sleek, and the integrated headlamp clips are low-profile so they don’t snag on slings but allow you to easily fix a headtorch when you need to.
A great supersafe helmet for for those really pushing the boat out!
