Safety features in this snow helmet

Twiceme

Twiceme’s Help the Helpers Technology is an integrated technology based on secure NFC

Twiceme’s Help the Helpers Technology is an integrated technology based on secure NFC and encourages bystanders to become helpers in the event of an accident. 

By tapping the NFC antenna of the phone onto the Twiceme symbol on the snow helmet, bystanders can access the medical information of the wearer, alert ICE contacts/emergency personnel, and send the precise location of the helmet-wearer.

It also allows for preventative measures, such as inspecting the health of the equipment, product inspection, and informing about safety measures to customers.

MIPS

A technology integrated into helmets is designed to reduce rotational motion to the head during oblique impacts. The MIPS design incorporates a low-friction layer between the outer shell of the helmet and the inner padding.

The MIPS design incorporates a low-friction layer between the outer shell of the helmet

During an angled impact, this layer allows a controlled rotation of the outer shell relative to the head, mimicking the brain’s own protective mechanisms. This rotation helps to redirect and disperse rotational energy, reducing the strain on the brain and lowering the risk of certain types of head injuries, such as concussions.
