The GENT MIPS is a versatile urban helmet with the additional safety feature Mips. The bike helmet is made for sporty active commuters and urban cyclists with high demands on their own style and safety.

Sporty, dynamic and at the same time reduced, clean, that is the GENT MIPS. Thanks to Hi-EPS, Mips, a perfect fit and Inmold construction, the Gent Mips protects optimally in the event of an impact. An integral rear light is positioned so that it is clearly visible even from the side. The wearer is seen earlier by other road users due to this positioning. Reflective details on the helmet and on the harness straps reinforce this effect. The proven Alpina fit ensures that the bike helmet fits perfectly, does not slip, nothing pinches. The dynamically designed helmet bars not only create a light and modern urban look, but also ensure that the head is optimally ventilated. This ensures a cool head, safe decisions in road traffic and maximum comfort. The Gent Mips is “Made in Germany.”

Features – Gent MIPS

MIPS: is a system that protects against brain injuries that can be caused by rotational movements in the event of an impact
Airflow Venting: directs cooling air along the head
Fly Net: the front vents of the helmet are covered with a mesh fabric
Hi-EPS: small air chambers absorb forces during an impact to protect the head
Y-Clip: guarantees a precise adjustment of the seating position and thus the best possible protection

Technology

AIR FLOW VENTING
Alpina developers spend a lot of time and energy to constantly improve the ventilation of our cycling helmets. Through wind tunnel tested arrangement of vents, our engineers create a “Venturi” effect inside the helmet that cools the head, leading to less sweat and higher performance.

FLY NET
The front vents of the helmet are covered with a mesh fabric. This performs the same function as an insect screen and prevents insect bites on the scalp in hot and humid riding periods and places.

HI-EPS
The inner shell of every Alpina helmet is made of Hi-EPS (“High Expanded Polystyrene”). It consists of microscopic air chambers that optimally absorb the forces acting during an impact. Despite optimum protection, HI-EPS ensures extra-thin wall thicknesses and narrow helmet shapes.

MIPS
MIPS is a system that protects against brain injuries that can be caused by rotational movements in the event of an impact. The low-friction insert allows a sliding movement of 10-15 mm in all directions, reducing rotational movement during a fall. MIPS thus provides an additional level of protection.

Y-CLIP
A helmet can only protect as well as it remains in the optimum position during impact. The fixation of the two straps under the ear plays a crucial role in this. Alpina’s “Y-Clip” system guarantees a millimeter-precise adjustment – in seconds.
