Answer 2021 AR3 Helmet - Vortex, You want what works. It fosters progress and builds confidence; and confidence is often what makes all the difference. Your helmet needs to be comfortable, cool and free of distractions. But it has one real job - protect you when things go wrong. Starting with Answer's all-new, in-house designed polycarbonate and ABS blended shell, they added the MIPS multi-directional impact system between a dual-density EPS liner and the removable / washable comfort liner. The design is to function optimally in the helmet to help it absorb, diffuse, and mitigate both direct and rotational impacts. Because you don't know how you're going to crash, pick a helmet that offers protection to as many variables as possible.
Three shell sizes for precise fit.
MIPS multi-directional impact system.
Made of injection-molded polycarbonate and ABS blend.
Sculptured, dual-density, EPS impact-absorbing liner.
Removable / washable cheekpads and liner.
10 intake and 4 exhaust vents help keep you cool.
Flexible rubber nose / cheek piece to deflect roost.
Replacement visors sold separately.
Meets or exceeds the ECE 22-05 Safety Standard.
Meets or exceeds the D.O.T. FMVSS 218 Safety Standard.
What is MIPS? And how does it work?
In a helmet with MIPS Brain Protection System (BPS) the shell and the liner are separated by a Low Friction Layer. When a helmet with MIPS Brain Protection System is subjected to an angled impact, the low friction layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head. The MIPS BPS is designed to add protection in helmets against the rotational motion. The rotational motion is a combination of rotational energy (angular velocity) and rotational forces (from angular acceleration) that both affects the brain and increases the risk for minor and severe brain injuries. MIPS BPS has been scientifically proven to reduce rotational motion when implemented in a helmet by absorbing and redirecting rotational energies and forces transferred to the brain.
