HELMET LINERS: MULI-IMPACT SXP VS EPS Surface-activated expanded Polypropylene a patented multi-impact helmet technology that is ideal for the  aggressive riding style of action sports athletes. Rebound Properties When EPS helmets take a hard hit, the foam liner compresses and stays compressed, losing most of its impact-absorbing properties.  Because multi-impact SXP has built-in rebound control, once the helmet liner has been compressed, multi-impact SXP memory kicks in and the liner rebounds to its original shape, maintaining its impact-absorbing qualities. What’s the secret? Memory! Multi-impact SXP technology uses a patented Surface Activation Process to offer consumers unprecedented multiple-impact protection in a lightweight helmet. Pro-tec multi-impact SXP helmets are the only lightweight, multi-impact helmets to be CPSC-approved, and deliver the style and fit our customers demand.
