509 Altitude 2.0 Carbon Fiber Pro Helmet

509 Altitude 2.0 Carbon Fiber Pro Helmet

Sacrifice nothing with the next-generation comfort and performance of the 509 Altitude 2.0 Offroad Carbon Fiber Pro Helmet. Elevated in every respect, it features the Mips Brain Protection System for the highest levels of safety. Hand lay-up carbon fiber composite construction makes it lighter, stronger, and sleeker than anything before it. A precisely engineered fit and innovative venting keep you cool and comfortable while the Fidlock magnetic strap buckle makes for easy one-handed operation.

Features:

• Lightweight, durable hand-laid carbon fiber construction
• Equipped with Mips® safety system How does the Mips® safety system work? The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has shear properties similar to water or gel. When different parts of the brain move relative to each other because of rotational motion, the tissues can stretch, which can cause concussions or other brain injuries. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions and more severe brain injury in oblique hits to the head. The Mips® safety system consists of a low friction layer mounted inside the helmet. In a crash, the low friction layer is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injury.

• DOT & ECE 22.05 The ECE 22.05 (Economic Commission for Europe) standard is quite a bit younger than the current DOT standard, and in many ways offers a more comprehensive battery of testing than its American cousin. ECE standards test for safety features that can contribute to avoiding an accident altogether, such as the optical quality of approved face shields and safety factors not directly related to impact, such as shell rigidity. Unlike the DOT, every ECE 22.05 certified helmet model must actually be tested against the standard by an independent lab before it is available for sale with an ECE sticker. certified
