I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Quantum Mips Helmet

Description

Why We Love the Quantum MIPS Helmet

The Quantum MIPS Helmet is a game-changer in terms of both ventilation and impact protection. It utilizes the innovative Aerocore construction found in Smith's renowned Variance Helmet, incorporating a honeycomb-inspired Koroyd material that not only provides excellent airflow but also disperses impact forces effectively.

Building on the success of the best-selling Variance Helmet, the Quantum MIPS takes safety to the next level with its Exoskeleton zonal impact protection. This feature specifically reinforces the sides of the helmet, an area prone to sustaining damaging impacts in accidents.

What sets the Quantum MIPS apart from other helmets is the MIPS liner. This essential component enhances protection in case of an angled impact. By allowing the helmet to rotate independently around your head with its low-friction liner, the Quantum MIPS effectively mitigates rotational forces and reduces potential injuries.

Key Features:

  • Premium protection, style, and comfort are the hallmarks of this helmet.
  • Aerocore construction with Koroyd combines superior ventilation with advanced impact protection.
  • Exoskeleton zonal impact protection reinforces the side panels for enhanced safety.
  • MIPS low-friction liner dissipates rotational impact forces, providing extra safeguards.
  • Featuring a total of 22 vents with dual regulator climate control for optimal temperature management.
  • The XT2 lining effectively wicks moisture and prevents odor, ensuring a fresh and comfortable ride.
  • The Boa FS360 fit system allows for easy forward and lateral adjustment, providing a customized and secure fit.
  • This helmet is designed to accommodate Outdoor Tech audio systems (audio system not included), so you can enjoy some tunes while on the go.
