Designed for riders who are growing their passion for mountain biking, DRT3 Trail will give you the confidence to explore new trails, test your boundaries and add new skills to your quiver. For additional safety, a twICEme® Medical ID NFC chip is located on the back side of the helmet. Store your vital medical info and emergency contacts within the helmet so first responders can instantly get the information they need when time matters most.

Features

• FIT: The Oakley®-designed, 360° fit system incorporates a height-adjustable yoke for a comfortable, customized fit. A rubberized micro adjustment dial secures the fit and an extra-wide yoke is designed to increase the stability of the system. The fit system is seamlessly integrated into the Mips® safety system, building on the brand’s Skull Matrix technology.
• COMFORT: DRT3 Trail comes with the innovative Sweat Guard brow pad and traditional textile padding located at the top of the helmet. The silicone gel Sweat Guard helps collect and divert sweat from the forehead to keep your eyewear streak-free while the textile padding adds more touch-points to enhance overall comfort.
• LINING: The Ionic+™ Antimicrobial liner is sweat-activated, keeping things fresh, and odor under control.
• EYEWEAR STORAGE: Front vents provide riders with a go-to spot to easily stash their eyewear. Unobtainium® grippers hold eyewear stems in place, while cutouts in the foam on the interior of the helmet prevent the stems from injuring the wearer’s head in case of impact, creating a simple and intuitive eyewear storage space for riders.
• PROTECTION: The Mips® safety system is designed for added safety against a variety of accidents, helping to reduce the harmful forces that might otherwise impact the wearer’s head.
• SAFETY: a twICEme® Medical ID NFC chip is located on the back of the helmet. Store your medical info and emergency contacts within the helmet so first responders can instantly get the information they need when time matters most.
• VENTILATION: Sixteen vents are designed to help hot air escape from the helmet while riding or when stopped, and two large front grill vents direct fresh air to the rider's forehead to enhance cooling and help reduce eyewear from fogging.
• VISOR: An adjustable visor features four points of adjustability, enabling the perfect fit for style and function while allowing riders to easily switch between wearing or storing eyewear.
• DESIGN: DRT3 Trail features a branding badge with an Iiridium® coating, mirroring the Prizm™ lens colors seen in Oakley eyewear. Each badge color is unique to the color of the helmet, with all celebrating Oakley’s eyewear heritage.
• Helmet Travel Bag and Oakley Decal Included

What is Mips Technology?

Mips® Safety System

The Mips safety system is designed to add protection against the rotational motion (or kinematics) transmitted to the brain from angled impacts to the head. Rotational motion is a combination of rotational energy (angular velocity) and rotational forces from angular acceleration that both affect the brain and increases the risk for minor and severe brain injuries. Mips’ added protection system has been proven to reduce the rotational motion when implemented in a helmet by absorbing and redirecting energies and forces otherwise transmitted to the brain.

Mips safety system functionality

We know from scientific research that the brain is particularly senstivie to rotation. In the event of an impact, the helmet technology provided by a Mips® safety system is intended to help reduce the impact of rotational energy to the head by enabling a relative movement between the head and helmet.

When such an impact occurs the forces the build up between the head and helmet are immense. These forces can be compared to the weight of up to 10 people sudddenly standing on your helmet. Under such high pressure, the friction between head and helmet makes it hard for the helmet to move– even if the straps are slightly loose or if the helmet doesn’t have a properly secure fit as recommended by the manufacturer. But a Mips® low-friction layer inside a helmet can still allow omni-directional movement of 10-15mm when that high load occurs.

Energy redirection

Most helmets that are certified by industry-accepted safety standards are capable of reducing the energy of a straight, linear impact. But when it comes to angled impacts, which is the most common type of impact from crashes or falls, a Mips® safety system-equipped helmet can also help reduce harmful rotational energy.

Think about a fall on a slippery slope: If you fall and hit your head (or helmet), you will most likely continue in the same direction as before the fall. Alternatively, consider a similar fall on high-friction asphalt– a very different scenario. When your helmet hits the ground, there will most likely be a sudden stop and a rotation of the helmet. Mips intends to redirect that energy away from the head.
