Alpina Plose MIPS Kask, turkusowy

The ALPINA PLOSE MIPS is an enduro helmet with additional protection against brain injuries that can be caused by rotational forces in the event of a side impact. Extended protection through MIPS: ALPINA PLOSE MIPS is an Enduro helmet with additional protection against brain injuries that can be caused by rotational forces in the event of a side impact. It is also equipped with other top features. First and foremost, the high-quality Ergo Plus Run System guarantees optimum grip. With its fine grid, it can be perfectly adapted to the head. In addition, the height of the adjustment system can be adjusted using the integrated Custom Fit System. The result is a secure fit and optimum protection. The outer shell of the Enduro and MTB helmet consists of a robust polycarbonate plate, which is thermally bonded to the Hi-EPS using the inmould process. This results in a firm surface connection, from which an additional plus in stability results. Thanks to Made in Germany, a maximum of production quality is guaranteed at the same time. The equipment list of the ALPINA PLOSE MIPS also includes the large shield that protects the viewing area, an antibacterial and washable padding for high comfort and a fly screen in the front ventilation openings.

MIPS
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety technology for helmets. In the event of an oblique impact, MIPS can reduce harmful rotational forces that can be transmitted to the brain by allowing the helmet to slide relative to the head. These rotational forces can lead to concussions or even worse brain damage. The technology was developed in 1996 by specialists at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and a brain surgeon at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.

In a helmet equipped with MIPS technology, a low-friction layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head, reducing the rotational movement that could otherwise be transmitted to the brain. In this way, MIPS mimics the natural safety system of the human head. The brain is surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid, which protects it by allowing the brain to slide inside the skull when it is exposed to an angled impact: MIPS mimics the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and adds a layer that allows 10-15 mm of relative movement between the head and the helmet in any direction.

Run System Ergo Plus
With the Run System, the size of all Alpina helmets can be individually adjusted using a smooth-running rotating wheel. The Run System Ergo Plus is Alpina's lightest and most comfortable fitting system. The filigree construction nestles evenly against the head and thus increases protection. The Run System Ergo Flex can be adjusted via a fine grid - there is no more individual, smooth-running and comfortable way to adjust a helmet.

Y-Clip
A helmet can only provide the best possible protection if it remains in the optimum position in the event of an impact. The adjustment and fixing of the two straps under the ear plays a decisive role in this. The Y-clip system guarantees a millimetre-precise adjustment - in seconds.

Airflow Venting
One factor that strongly influences the wearing comfort is the ventilation of the helmet. The strategically sensible arrangement of the ventilation openings is decisive for optimum ventilation of the interior. The air is directed into the interior, where it is guided along the head and can flow out again at the rear. The head is thus always pleasantly air-conditioned.

Ergomatic
Proven a hundred thousand times over and used in all Alpina helmets: the belt buckle with the red push button and multi-stage automatic locking mechanism. Ergomatic can be operated with one hand - uphill you can loosen the strap, downhill you can tighten it - and in the event of a fall the buckle mechanism cannot open by itself.

HI-EPS
The inner shell of all Alpina helmets is made of Hi-EPS (High Expanded Polystyrene). The material has microscopically small air chambers which absorb the forces that act on the helmet during an impact. Hi-EPS provides optimum protection and at the same time allows extra-thin walls and narrow helmet shapes.
