Troy Lee Designs D3 Carbon MIPS - Midnight Black

. It wasnt easy to improve upon the class leading design and function of the D2 helmet, but TLD made it happen. By integrating next level safety devices and making functional improvements, they raised the bar for head protection in the genre with the D3 MIPS stands for Multi directional Impact Protection System, it is a revolutionary technology that lets the helmet slide relative to the head, adding more protection against rotational violence to the brain caused by angled impacts What is MIPS. MIPS is a Brain Protection SystemRotational motion can cause brain injuriesThe low friction layer allows a sliding movement of 1015 mm, in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain during impactMIPS adds protectionNEW features and improvements NEW head form shape to improve fit and feel of the helmet, which increased EPS to frontal crash zonesNEW 3D cheek pads; updated shape and contour to better fit the jawfacial area, extended pad that results in a more secure fitNEW Front trim smoothed edges, for a more precision look over the sharper edges of previous modelRiders like Sam Hill, Aaron Gwin, Steve Peat, Brandon Semenuk and Cam Zink refuse to wear anything else when they pedal. With styles and colours to fit any personality, the only question is Which one is for youFeatures Hand laid pre preg carboncompositeMCT weave blend for superior shell construction and weight reductionTop layer UD unidirectional carbon weave provides strength and styleHigh modulus Kevlar reinforced high impact zones for increased strength and rigidityNylon reinforcement polymer in key high wear and impact zonesTechnologically advanced aerospace carboncomposite shell constructionMIPS brain protection system, reduces rotational forces to the brainDigital wind tunnel tested, aerodynamic shell designRevolutionary injection moulded air intake system20 high flow intake and exhaust ports for maximum ventilationAdded EPS and new head form shape for improved impact performanceFull incremental sizing for greater range of fitmentDeep EPS channelling for optimal airflowStrategically placed interior chin bar shock pads for comfort and durabilityRemovable, washable padded liner with Coolmax and Dri lex moisture wicking materialsContoured 3D cheek pads fit anatomicallyQuick release cheek pads for emergency helmet removalPurpose built internal cavities for audio integrationTitanium hardware for reduced weightIncludes 2 lightweight, streamlined visors and a helmet bagNot intended for use with motorised vehiclesExceeds bicycle certifications CPSC 1203, CE EN 10782002A12012 ASTM F1952 15, ASTM F2032 15, ASTM F2040 11BuyTroy Lee Designs Protection from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
