The BIPS system represents a revolutionary advancement in helmet technology, integrating an impact comfort layer meticulously crafted to counteract the transfer of rotational and impact energy to the brain resulting from ballistic and fragmentation impacts. At its core, BIPS introduces an ingenious impact layer that fosters relative movement and the dissipation of energy between the head and helmet, irrespective of the impact’s direction.

In helmets equipped with the BIPS Protection System, a sophisticated ETAC energy displacement mechanism serves as a vital buffer between the helmet’s outer shell and its comfort pads. Upon impact, this cutting-edge ETAC energy displacement layer allows the helmet to adeptly absorb the kinetic energy generated by the impact and subsequent deformation.

Beyond its protective prowess against ballistic and fragmentation hazards, BIPS is ingeniously engineered to mitigate rotational motion as well. This type of motion is a fusion of rotational energy (angular velocity) and rotational forces (stemming from angular acceleration), collectively posing risks to the brain and increasing susceptibility to minor injuries and traumatic brain injury (TBI). With its innovative design, BIPS significantly curbs rotational motion within the helmet by effectively capturing and redirecting rotational energies and impact forces away from the brain.

ETAC’s BIPS emerges as a game-changer by actively reducing the rotational movement of the helmet. By adeptly absorbing and redirecting directional velocity energy and vector forces, it ensures that potentially harmful impacts are expertly managed, preventing their transfer to the wearer’s skull and brain. Experience a new era of helmet protection with BIPS – where safety, comfort, and innovation converge.
