The Specialized Echelon MIPS Road Cycling Helmet is an updated version of the long running Echelon design. It now comes with the latest in helmet safety, MIPS. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is designed to protect your head from glancing blows. MIPS allows your helmet to move in a controlled way on impact to absorb some of the force of a crash, reducing the shock to your brain. Once MIPS has absorbed the initial shock the in-moulded helmet shell will then absorb the bulk of the force. Overall this dual system gives you a safer helmet. The Specialized Echelon is designed for road cycling & sits low on your head to give a compact profile. The Headset fit system gives plenty of adjustment so you can get the fit exactly right & the large vents will keep your head cool even on hot days when you are working very hard. Although designed for road cycling the Echelon helmet is also popular with commuters & touring cyclists. The Echelon is a unisex helmet.
