History:
Established in 1888, Bollé has earned a strong recognition in the sports community and all over the globe. Born in the Alps, the Bollé brand helmets feature the latest technologies for safety while at that same providing comfort and fit. From materials to the finishing details, every element of the product has been designed to ensure that your on -snow experience will be the very best that it can be.
Product Overview:
Bollé’s junior snow helmet features a lightweight ABS shell construction, MIPS® Technology (Multiple Directional Impact Protection System), and a passive ventilation system designed to provide the highest level of safety, performance, and comfort. All Bollé junior helmets feature removable earpads, a washable and removable premium lining and goggle strap retainer system to securely hold your goggles in place
What is MIPS?
In a helmet with MIPS Brain Protection System (BPS) the shell and the liner are separated by a Low Friction Layer. When a helmet with MIPS Brain Protection System is subjected to an angled impact, the low friction layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head. The MIPS BPS is designed to add protection in helmets against rotational motion. The rotational motion is a combination of rotational energy (angular velocity) and rotational forces (from angular acceleration) that both affects the brain and increases the risk for minor and severe brain injuries. MIPS BPS has been scientifically proven to reduce rotational motion when implemented in a helmet by absorbing and redirecting rotational energies and forces transferred to the brain.
STRAIN ON THE BRAIN:
The illustration is based on data that was generated using a finite element computer model, based on measurements obtained from nine accelometers in a Hybrid crash test dummy head. The dummy head wearing a helmet was subject to angled impact using the MIPS test rig. The model illustrates strain in the brain from similar angled impact when the dummy head is wearing a helmet without MIPS and a helmet with MIPS.
THE GREAT MISCONCEPTION:
Accident statics show tat many injuries occur due to angled impact to the head. However, in standard helmet tests, the helmet is dropped vertically into a flat surface. The results are helpful for measuring precise vertical impacts, but far inferior for measuring the more realistic scenario of an angled impact, MIPS has been developed for reality and increases protection against angled impacts.
