Giro Sport Design, global leader in the manufacture of protective headwear, has launched the Avance MIPS, an innovative ski racing helmet that uses TeXtreme fibre to create a lighter, stiffer, and stronger shell.
Giro engineers created the new helmet to deliver improved protection from four major hazard categories common to elite alpine racing, which include high-energy impact, rotational energies, multi-impact collision, and gate impact. In order to combat the high-energy impacts that racers often experience, a number of innovations were developed and the use of TeXtreme materials enables a strong shell that allows the helmet to better resist multi-impact crashes and repeated gate impacts, according to a press release.Giro Sport Design, global leader in the manufacture of protective headwear, has launched the Avance MIPS, an innovative ski racing helmet that uses#
Mattia Berardi, product manager of Giro Ski said, “In development of the Avance MIPS ski helmet, TeXtreme has enabled us to create an ultralight shell that's tougher, stiffer and stronger than anything Giro has previously offered. Most importantly, TeXtreme provides impressive high-energy impact management.”
“The Avance MIPS outer shell is constructed from TeXtreme carbon fibre fabrics. TeXtreme's wide, flat tapes fit tighter together and remain straighter than the round tows found in conventional carbon fibre materials, and thus require a less resin needed to bind the fibres together,” Berardi added.
TeXtreme is a unique carbon fibre material that differs from conventional carbon fibre materials due to its proprietary production methods. Its track record of contributing to successful product releases, from companies including Bauer Hockey, Prince Tennis, Cobra Puma Golf, Stiga Table Tennis and Bell Helmets, has proven the real-world performance improvements due to TeXtreme Technology.
