PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Trauma Void™ Lynx™ Helmet

The Trauma Void™ Lynx™ Helmet** led a revolution in equestrian helmets by delivering the next level in brain protection technology for riders. The most important component of the Lynx riding helmet is the incorporated Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS®), which has been used in snow, motor and bike helmets for years.

Integrated into the helmet, MIPS is a low-friction layer designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts to the head. This layer absorbs and redirects rotational force rather than allowing it to be transferred to the brain during impact.

Coverage may be the first priority of Trauma Void’s Lynx helmet, but it has also been designed for comfort, style and affordability. The design features a removable and washable Coolmax® moisture-wicking lining. It offers great ventilation, and the smooth outer shell is easy to clean. The screen and chin straps are made of durable synthetic leather. **SEI certified to ASTM F1163-23.

More About MIPS Technology
Decades ago, Swedish researchers set out to find a way to further protect the brain from rotational force and strain when an impact occurs during a crash. Now patented and incorporated into a variety of helmets, MIPS, short for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System, is a helmet-integrated, low-friction layer designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts to the head. This layer creates a way for the rotational force to be absorbed and redirected rather than transmitted to the brain during an impact. It’s held in place with flexible bands that clip the MIPS liner to the helmet’s foam in multiple anchor points. The system sounds simple, but in reality, this technology was developed and tested over countless hours in a lab.

MIPS works by installing a thin (0.5–0.7mm), ventilated, custom-cut, low-friction layer inside the helmet liner. The layer is held in place by an assemblage of composite anchors that flex in all directions. These anchors hold the layer in place around the wearer’s head, but provide a small movement in response to angled impact. MIPS’ small movement (10-15mm) relative to the helmet at the brief moment of an angled impact (3–10 milliseconds)allows the head to continue in the direction in which it was originally traveling. This means that some portion of the rotational forces and energies acting on the head at impact are redirected and spread out thanks to the large low-friction layer, rather than being transferred to the brain. Because of its thinness, lightness and integration into the helmet’s existing ventilation, it is rarely noticed by the wearer, even over extended periods of use.

MIPS has evolved through study and testing in Sweden since 1996 by some of the world’s leading researchers in biomechanics and neuroscience at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. The two universities created a joint department called Neuronics. MIPS sprung out from a research project at Neuronics, which also saw the development of a helmet test rig for angled impacts.

In addition to the angled impact test, MIPS has access to an advanced computerized finite element model of the head and neck that can be used for injury prediction in impact simulations. The computerized finite element model is an integral part of verifying that your helmet, with MIPS inside, delivers higher safety properties and redirects and reduces damaging rotational motion to the brain than the same helmet without MIPS.

Imported.
Liner: Machine wash; dry flat.
S (6 1/8-6 1/2), M (6 5/8-7 1/8), L(7 1/4-7 1/2). Dial-Fit System:  The Lynx helmets include a dial-fit system, after fitting the rider for their helmet, adjust the dial so that the helmet fits securely, then adjust the chinstrap.

The Dover Saddlery Guarantee

If something doesn’t fit you or your horse, return your original purchase within 30 days, and we’ll make it right with a refund, exchange, or replacement.

For manufacturer's defects, we'll extend the manufacturer's warranty to a maximum of 24 months, regardless of their individual policies. Manufacturer warranties longer than 24 months will be honored and supported by us as well up to the length of those warranties.

Exceptions: Safety items such as helmets and protective vests may only be returned within 30 days, with their original tags intact. Saddles and riding boots may be returned within 90 days, but are subject to a prorated refund based on usage. Used saddles may be returned for 30 days only. For everyone’s protection, treats and vet meds which have been opened are not returnable, and returned blankets must be clean and free of debris. Underwear is not returnable or exchangeable.

Special Conditions

To protect all customers and ensure that every return or exchange is handled fairly, we may require a receipt or decline a return in these situations:

  • Item was not purchased directly from Dover Saddlery. (It was purchased at a used tack sale or from a retailer or online seller other than Dover Saddlery.)
  • Item is missing a label or has been defaced.
  • No receipt and no valid identification in our stores.
  • Item is wet, dirty, or contaminated, or until it has been cleaned. (For health and safety reasons, we cannot accept returns on used, defective, or poorly fitting blankets if they are UNWASHED.)
  • Item has been lost, stolen, damaged, or misused.
  • On rare occasions, based on the nature of prior transactions.
  • Supplements have been opened or used.
  • Multiple returns of the same item.
  • Personalized items may not be returned unless defective.
