TSG Kraken Plus BMX / Skate Helmet

We combine the 2 best helmet technologies available and create the world safest, most comfortable and most flexible head protection on the market.
The Kraken+ adds the revolutionary MIPS® technology to the award-winning FlexTech innovation of the Kraken helmet.
By incorporating MIPS® the helmet absorbs not only the vertical part of impacts, but also the rotational forces of angled impacts.
This patented technology allows the liner and outer shell to rotate in relation to each other, reducing the stress on the brain and ultimately reducing serious brain injuries.
Tuned with Fidlock snap helmet buckle for easy one-hand operation.

Features:

• Hardshell Construction.
• ABS Shell.
• EPS Impact Foam.
• FlexTech Interior Shell.
• MIPS® System for increased protection against angled impacts.
• Low and Snug Fit.
• Active Shell Venting from 14 Aerodynamic Vents. Die-Cut Interior Pads.
• Tuned Fit System.
• Fidlock Magnetic SNAP Buckle.

Weight:520g

Sizes: S/M: 54-56cm, L/XL: 57-59cm

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) explained:

Conventional helmets are tested by dropping them vertically onto a rigid surface. MIPS has had 15 years of study and testing in Sweden by some of the world's leading researchers and neurosurgeons, based on a different principle - reality. Because in reality when you fall, your head most often hits the ground at an angle, creating a rotation in the brain, which in turn can cause major damage. With MIPS, the helmet absorbs much of that damaging rotational energy, offering you radically better protection. And if, against all the odds, you do fall vertically onto your head, a helmet with MIPS will protect you just as well as an ordinary helmet.

The secret behind MIPS' unique patent comes from the human brain, which is now into its 150,000th year. The brain is surrounded by a low-friction cushion of cerebrospinal fluid. MIPS imitates the brain's way of protecting itself by giving the helmet its own low-friction layer between the outer shell and the liner, to absorb much of the energy created by an oblique blow to the head. The combination of the brain's own protection and MIPS therefore ensures maximum protection. Very simple and very effective.
