VENTRAL AIR MIPS EF EDUCATION-EASYPOST ED
You asked for it and POC made it for you, the loyal fans of EF Education-EasyPost. The limited edition 2024 Team Edition helmet is here to provide protection, performance and inspiration.
The limited edition Ventral Air Mips EF Education-EasyPost Edition is the protection the pro peloton trusts. It's the helmet you've been wanting, and now it's available in 2024 colors so you can ride with the same protection the team trusts.
With precise vents and internal channels that regulate air intake and exhaust at both low and high speeds, the helmet offers an excellent cooling effect across the entire head. Ideal for long rides in the mountains or hotter days in the saddle.
The Ventral Air Mips EF Education-EasyPost Edition improves the rider's aerodynamic profile and minimizes drag. Special airflow zones improve ventilation and cooling, while the aerodynamically optimized trailing edge reduces turbulence.
The exceptionally lightweight road bike helmet was developed according to POC's Whole Helmet Concept™. It features a fully enclosed unibody shell construction and an EPS inner shell that offer an ideal balance between weight and safety. The additional Mips protection improves rotational impact protection. Practical features include a lightweight size adjustment system that guarantees a personalized fit and a goggle holder in which you can easily and safely store your goggles while riding.
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 wide range of crashes. 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 a straight impact. However, in most cases the impact occurs at an angle, which can cause rotational movements for the head.
2. These rotational movements can cause brain injuries.
3. The low-friction shell is designed to help reduce the rotational movements acting on the head in certain cases of an oblique impact.
Straight impact – oblique impact
The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has a shear strength similar to that of water or gel. When rotational motion causes different areas of the brain to move out of alignment with one another, the tissue can become stretched, causing concussions or other brain injuries.
Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions and more severe brain injuries from an angled 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 during an accident so that forces can be diverted away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injuries.
Most conventional helmets are designed for a straight impact, but the impact occurs at an angle in most cases. The low-friction shell can reduce the rotational forces of an angled impact.
Security system based on the brain
Unlike traditional helmets, which are designed and tested primarily for straight-line impacts, the MIPS system's low-friction shell mimics the brain's own protection system against rotational motion. Cerebrospinal fluid is our natural protection system that allows the brain to move offset from the skull.
