The Dainese Nucleo MIPS is a unisex ski helmet designed for alpine skiing and snowboarding. It features the MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology, which reduces rotational forces transmitted to the head during angled impacts.
MIPS low-friction layer allows the helmet to slide 10–15 mm relative to the head, reducing rotational motion
In-mold polycarbonate shell with EPS foam liner for lightweight impact absorption
Adjustable fit system with 51–54 cm head circumference range
White finish with Dainese branding for a clean, versatile look on the slopes
What sets the Dainese Nucleo MIPS apart
The integrated MIPS system is the key differentiator — unlike standard helmets that rely solely on rigid impact absorption, the Nucleo MIPS adds a slip-plane mechanism that mitigates rotational forces from glancing blows, which are common in skiing falls. The unisex sizing and white colourway make it suitable for both male and female riders without compromising on protection.
Ideal for...
Recreational and intermediate skiers and snowboarders who prioritise head safety without sacrificing comfort. The XS/S size fits head circumferences between 51 and 54 cm, covering a broad range of adult and older teen users. Suitable for groomed pistes and off-piste skiing alike.
Application of Dainese Nucleo MIPS
Adjust the internal fit system to match your head circumference within the 51–54 cm range
Fasten the chin strap securely before each descent
Wear the helmet throughout your entire time on the slopes
Inspect the shell and EPS liner for damage after any significant impact
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the outer shell to slide 10–15 mm relative to the head during an angled impact. This reduces rotational forces that can cause brain injuries, which are common in skiing falls where the impact is not purely linear.
The Dainese Nucleo MIPS fits head circumferences from 51 cm to 54 cm, corresponding to the XS/S size. Measure your head just above the eyebrows and ears to determine the correct fit.
