FOX Dropframe Pro Camo sisak

Open trail helmet with maximum protection

The Dropframe Pro Camo is the new spearhead among mountain bike helmets and sets new standards for trail biking. It received 5 stars in Virginia Tech's helmet rating, the highest rating of any helmet ever tested. Extremely light, enormously comfortable, first-class protection and extremely reliable, driving off-road with this helmet is a lot of fun.

highlights

• Dual density Varizorb EPS provides enhanced protection by spreading impact forces over a larger area
• 8 big-bore vents and 7 exhaust vents keep you cool and aid in moisture management
• The securely attached visor is positioned to direct airflow into the big-bore vents
• The Fidlock® SNAP helmet buckle allows for quick and easy donning and doffing, even with gloves
• Removable, antimicrobial and moisture-wicking inner lining

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.

MIPS
The MIPS® safety system was developed to provide additional protection for helmets in numerous accidents. In certain impact situations, the MIPS system can reduce dangerous forces that might otherwise be transmitted to the helmet wearer's head.

1. Conventional helmets are designed and tested for a straight impact. In most cases, however, the impact is at an angle, which can cause rotational movements for the head.

2. This rotational movement can cause brain injury.

3. The low-friction shell is designed to help reduce rotational movement of the head in certain cases of angled impact.

Straight impact - oblique impact

The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has a shear strength similar to that of water or gel. When rotational movement causes different parts of the brain to move at different times, the tissues can be stretched, causing concussions or other brain injuries.

Rotational motion is a common cause of concussion and more serious brain injury from an oblique impact to the head. The MIPS system consists of a low-friction shell that is fixed inside the helmet. The low-friction shell is designed to slide slightly inside the helmet in the event of an accident, allowing forces to be directed away from the head. It is said to help reduce the risk of brain injuries.

Most conventional helmets are designed for a straight impact, but in most cases the impact is at an angle. The low-friction shell can reduce the rotational forces of an oblique impact.

Security system with the brain as a model

Unlike conventional helmets, which are primarily designed and tested for a straight impact, the low-friction shell of the MIPS system mimics the brain's own protection system against rotational movement. The cerebrospinal fluid is our natural defense system that allows the brain to move offset to the skull.
