Includes:: the MIPS system which sits inside the helmet provides protection against "rotational violence" caused by angled impacts. Traditionally cycling helmets have been designed for head on collisions. MIPS deals with side impacts by allowing the helmet to move slightly, absorbing some of the impact & reducing the shock to your brain. Where most modern helmets are designed in wind tunnels the Airnet was designed to look good as well.
