FOX Dropframe helmet L vintage white

MTB open face helmet with full coverage

When it comes to enduro and trail riding, you can play it safe with the top-rated Dropframe helmet with additional protection for your head, ears and jaw. Featuring MIPS® technology and our dual-density Varizorb™ EPS liner, this 3/4 enduro helmet offers more protection than a traditional open face helmet.

Highlights

• In addition, the proven MIPS® protection system reduces rotational movement by absorbing and dissipating energies and forces that would otherwise affect the brain.
• Inner shell made of Varizorb™ dual-density EPS for optimized impact protection by dissipating forces over a larger area
• 8 Big Bore air intake and 7 exhaust vents for cool comfort and improved moisture management
• The securely attached visor is positioned to channel air into the big bore vents.
• Removable, antimicrobial and moisture-wicking liner
• Additional pads for a precise fit
• 31% EPS, 16% TPE, 14% Polycarbonate, 10% PA, 6% Polyurethane foam/polyester

Technical specification

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.

MIPS
The MIPS® safety system is designed to provide additional protection for helmets in a variety of accidents. In certain impact situations, the MIPS system can reduce dangerous forces that might otherwise be transmitted to the helmet wearer's head.

1. Conventional helmets are designed and tested for straight impact. However, in most cases the impact occurs at an angle, which can cause rotational movements to the head.

2. These rotational movements can cause brain injuries.

3. The low-friction shell is intended to help reduce rotational movements to the head in certain cases of oblique impact.

Straight impact - oblique impact

The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has similar shear strength to water or gel. When rotational motion causes different areas of the brain to move away from each other, the tissue can be stretched, causing concussions or other brain injuries.

Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions and more serious brain injuries from an oblique impact to the head. The MIPS system consists of a low-friction shell that is attached inside the helmet. The low-friction shell is designed to slide slightly inside the helmet in the event of an accident, allowing forces to be directed away from the head. It is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injuries.

Most traditional helmets are designed for a straight impact, but in most cases the impact occurs at an angle. The low-friction shell can reduce the rotational forces of an oblique impact.

Security system based on the brain

Unlike traditional helmets, which are designed and tested primarily for straight impact, the MIPS system's low-friction shell mimics the brain's own protection system against rotational motion. The cerebrospinal fluid is our natural protective system that allows the brain to move offset from the skull.
