When energy is impacted upon the helmet, causing a rotation force, the MIPS layer allows for movement of the inner absorption layer to damp and re-direct the energy before causing significant acceleration stress to the brain. This mitigates the causes of brain injuries, such as concussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmergency Release System (ERS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhile the helmet is still on the rider’s head, the side cheek padding can be extracted efficiently and safely to allow ease of removal by trackside support and medical staff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Supertech M8 is also designed to allow a helmet ‘Eject’ inflation system to be fitted into the inside crown of the shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlong with the ERS padding removal, ‘Eject’ allows for emergency removal of the helmet, without putting load on the rider’s spine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChin-strap: Wider than certification requirement: 26 mm for comfort and produced with a woven poly yarn to give a soft ‘hand’ feel that connects securely with a double D-ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe material selection, preparation and construction of the helmet has been rigorously analyzed for weight to strength and energy absorption properties and a strict analysis of all the components used in the Supertech M8 finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat mapping tests have resulted in specifically designed ducting which produces a positive flow into the helmet over and around the rider’s head, improving comfort while riding and reducing the on-set of heat stress in extreme conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisor design profiled to direct airflow, acting as a channel to concentrate and smooth the flow into the shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiner formed to optimize airflow channeling around the rider’s head before being extracted through rear exhaust vents to ensure positive pressure is maintained with constant airflow while riding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLining design includes canals which allow a tube to be incorporated on either side of the shell allowing for hydration system compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable liner cover is washable and features a cool-max fabric interior and anti-bacterial talent yarn for long-lasting freshness and quick-dry performance between riding sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures TPE coating washable surfaces to improve maintenance and increase durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes soft bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ALPINESTARS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53131446255983,"sku":"0110-7402","price":529.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/0323\/6463\/files\/6D0EA560-D8B2-4A6C-9599-8E4342AAC25D.png?v=1781907210","url":"https:\/\/factory47.com\/products\/alpinestars-supertech-m8-factory-mips-helmet","provider":"Factory 47","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
