In the event of a crash, an almost inevitable part of mountain biking when you're pushing your limits, the A3 MIPS keeps your head safe in a number of ways. Firstly, the EPS & EPS foams are used in combination to deal with crash energy absorption & dissipation. Whether going fast or slow you're head is kept safer thanks to this dual-density construction. The deep coverage towards the rear of the helmet adds protection to your head & is optimised for more aggressive mountain biking. You also benefit from the MIPS technology engineered into the design. What is MIPS? Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) is a proven system that reduces the rotational forces on the brain when you're involved in a crash. The forces are absorbed & redirected to prevent them from being transmitted to the brain.MIPS is a Brain Protection System Rotational motion can cause brain injuries The low friction layer allows a sliding movement of 10–15 mm, in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain during impact MIPS adds protection Cool. Comfortable. Fresh. As mentioned above, the A3 borrows tech from TLD's A1 & A2 line of helmets. & this can be found benefitting you in its excellent comfort & cool airflow. Inside, the X-Static antimicrobial liner is quick to wick away sweat & it's odour-resistant too

The adjustable visor allows easy goggle stowage, & it's designed to break away in a crash, minimising damage & rotational forces on your head. All this comes in at a remarkably low weight of 350 grams.
