Alpina Paranus Mips Cycling Helmet Mat Green - 59-61 cm

The Alpina Paranus MIPS bicycle helmet is the perfect companion for your cycling trip or trekking adventure. With its classic sporty design and streamlined visor, this helmet is ideal for touring and trekking excursions. The HI-EPS combined with MIPS and the RUN SYSTEM ERGO FLEX ensures a high level of comfort and safety. In the event of a fall with an angled impact, MIPS helps reduce the rotational forces on the head, while the Run system provides an optimal fit of the helmet on your head. The lightweight nature of this helmet is due to the INMOLD finish, where the outer shell is thermally bonded to the HI-EPS. This results in a strong surface connection, responsible for a very stable construction and lightweight design. Large ventilation openings keep your head cool at all times, perfectly rounding off the features of this trekking helmet.

RUN SYSTEM ERGO FLEX MIPS:
This smart mounting system combines MIPS impact protection with an individually adjustable 360° fit on your head.

WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a system of sliding surfaces within the helmet. It is designed to rotate within the helmet and slow down or reduce the amount of energy transferred to and from the head. This reduces the risk of head injury caused by rotational forces.

WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When the head rotates quickly and comes to an abrupt stop, the brain tissue can be subjected to significant stress. The stretching of the brain tissue caused by this movement can lead to various types of brain injuries. MIPS is developed to reduce the rotational acceleration of an impact/fall.

HOW DOES MIPS WORK?
MIPS uses a system of sliding surfaces that mimic the brain's protective system. This layer rotates within the helmet and is designed to slow down or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. According to scientific research, the risk and severity of brain injuries can be reduced if the rotational acceleration can be minimized.

INMOLD:
The inner shell is injected under high pressure and heat into the outer shell to create a complete bond. This makes the helmet extremely stable and lightweight.

CERAMIC SHELL:
This is a polycarbonate outer shell, resistant to breaks and scratches, pressed under high pressure and heat onto a HI-EPS body. It is UV-stable and anti-static.

HI-EPS:
The inner shell is made of High Expanded Polystyrene, consisting of many microscopic air chambers that absorb impact during a fall, for example.

EDGE PROTECT:
Sharp edges are eliminated during the manufacturing process to protect your hands when handling the helmet and to safeguard your neck and shoulders in the event of a fall.

ERGOMATIC:
The closure with a red push button and the multi-position fastening mechanism can be operated with one hand. It will not open automatically in the event of a fall.
