The Specialized Align II MIPS Cycle Helmet comes with certified protection, a clean aesthetic, comfortable fit, and a budget-friendly price. The standout feature of the Align II is the inclusion of the revolutionary Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS), a patented protection against "rotational forces" caused by angled impacts. Using MIPS doesn’t give anything up to comfort though—the Align II includes Tri-Fix web splitter and the Headset SX dial fit system for easy fit adjustment. 4th Dimension Cooling System for incredible ventilation, and three universal shell sizes to achieve the perfect fit.
Features
- Align II earned the highest 5-Star Virginia Tech Helmet Rating from internationally renowned Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
- The MIPS system is a low-friction layer that allows a sliding motion of 10 to 15mm in all directions. Studies indicate that this reduces some of the rotational forces transmitted to the brain during angled impacts.
- Easily-adjustable, one-size Headset SX fit system is designed for easy and accurate fit for a wide range of head sizes. Add in a micro-adjustable dial for on-the-fly adjustability and you're ensured an easy, secure, and accurate fit.
- 4th Dimension Cooling System optimizes ventilation.
- In-moulded shell improves strength and reduces weight.
- Reflective decals for increased visibility in low-light conditions.
What is a MIPS helmet?
Let's start by clarifying the meaning of MIPS. MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. Developed and owned, by a Swedish company that licenses the system to cycle helmet manufacturers. MIPS technology is very popular with Manufacturers.
What does MIPS do?
A Standard bike helmet protects you via a polystyrene shell which absorbs force and breaks apart. In a MIPS helmet, there is a liner that is in contact with your head and will move independently from the outer shell when there is an impact. This allows some of the force of the impact to be absorbed before the polystyrene shell takes the hit and reduces the level of shock to the brain. MIPS works best in angled impacts which is how many real-world crashes happen. Traditionally helmets have been designed for direct, head-on, impacts. So it is argued that a helmet with MIPS provides a greater level of safety in real-world conditions.
