Specialized Gambit Fullface sisak

Redefine your comfort zone

With the Gambit, Specialized is giving a face to the future of the full-face helmet. Combined with the new Integrated Fit System, four individually adjustable cheek pads, the fixed visor and MIPS SL, this results in one of the most comfortable life insurance policies you have ever worn.

highlights

• Thanks to a feather-light material mix of carbon, polycarbonate and five unique, impact energy absorbing pieces of EPS foam (patented), the helmet offers unprecedented fit and ventilation
• Thanks to the new Integrated Fit System, the helmet can be individually adjusted to different head shapes and sizes
• The occipital adjustment system for a custom fit allows adjustment of the helmet angle, ensuring comfort and keeping the helmet and goggles in place
• Four individually adjustable cheek pads offer optimal support for every head shape
• A fixed, integrated visor allows a large field of vision and protects against external influences. To prevent injuries, the visor detaches from the helmet in the event of a fall
• Improved airflow and ventilation that differs significantly from previous full-face helmets
• The MIPS SL system with Specialized 's exclusive, perforated interior increases breathability and at the same time wicks away moisture
• A new design process allows for maximum airflow inside the helmet for optimal airflow and ventilation. The 4D cooling system ensures a constant airflow at any speed
• ANGi ready

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.

MIPS
The MIPS® safety system was developed to provide additional protection for helmets in numerous accidents. In certain impact situations, the MIPS system can reduce dangerous forces that might otherwise be transmitted to the helmet wearer's head.

1. Conventional helmets are designed and tested for a straight impact. In most cases, however, the impact is at an angle, which can cause rotational movements for the head.

2. This rotational movement can cause brain injury.

3. The low-friction shell is designed to help reduce rotational movement of the head in certain cases of angled impact.

Straight impact - oblique impact

The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has a shear strength similar to that of water or gel. When rotational movement causes different parts of the brain to move at different times, the tissues can be stretched, causing concussions or other brain injuries.

Rotational motion is a common cause of concussion and more serious brain injury from an oblique impact to the head. The MIPS system consists of a low-friction shell that is fixed inside the helmet. The low-friction shell is designed to slide slightly inside the helmet in the event of an accident, allowing forces to be directed away from the head. It is said to help reduce the risk of brain injuries.

Most conventional helmets are designed for a straight impact, but in most cases the impact is at an angle. The low-friction shell can reduce the rotational forces of an oblique impact.

Security system with the brain as a model

Unlike conventional helmets, which are primarily designed and tested for a straight impact, the low-friction shell of the MIPS system mimics the brain's own protection system against rotational movement. The cerebrospinal fluid is our natural defense system that allows the brain to move offset to the skull.
