Following on the heels of the Nexus Extreme, the new Nexus Exceed is the second Centurion helmet featuring Mips technology, designed to help protect against rotational brain injuries. 

Both helmets build on Centurion’s more than 140 years of industry leading head protection, so you can keep your brain at the top of its game through the end of your career. Centurion’s premium ABS material provides lighter, and stronger protection than HDPE used in most hard hats, combined with a flexible 6-point suspension, and new Active Comfort sweatband for all day comfort and superior protection. The addition of the Mips Cradle (Multi-directional impact protection system) takes the level of protection up a few notches, well beyond standard requirements.
Choose which is right for you and your personnel:
Nexus Extreme Mips
4-point Mountaineering chinstrap
Vented only
Includes foam liner
Nexus Exceed Mips
Standard 4-point chinstrap
Vented or non-vented
No foam liner
The Nexus Mips helmets ship complete with 4-point chinstraps, and are compatible with Centurion’s range of Connect eye, ear, and face protection.
How Mips works:
Studies show that rotational and off-center impacts to the head while wearing a standard helmet or hard hat can cause the brain to bounce against the inside of the skull, leading to potentially life changing injury. That’s often what happens when a pro football player ends their career after a concussion. In a Mips-enhanced helmet, the cradle moves so that your brain doesn’t. 

The key is the Mips cradle's low-friction layer, which lets the helmet’s interior rotate up to 15mm inside the shell.

Each component plays a vital role:
-the helmet shell dissipates impact energy
-the cradle reduces shock
-the Mips low-friction layer redirects rotational forces
It’s an extra guard to protect your brain…and your way of life.
