description Salomon Abstract MIPS Overview

The Salomon Abstract MIPS is a snow-sports helmet for skiing and snowboarding. It incorporates the MIPS system, which is designed to permit limited movement between the helmet and head during certain angled impacts, and it includes adjustable ventilation for managing airflow in changing conditions. The helmet is intended for resort riders seeking head protection compatible with winter goggles and normal on-piste use.

help Salomon Abstract MIPS FAQ

Is Salomon Abstract MIPS a snowboard or a helmet?

The name appears to combine two products: Salomon Abstract is a freestyle snowboard, while Driver Pro Sigma MIPS is a ski helmet. Salomon describes Abstract as a true-twin, medium-flex board with Rock Out Camber. [Abstract](https://www.salomon.com/en-us/product/abstract-li8538) [Driver Pro Sigma MIPS](https://www.salomon.com/en-us/product/driver-pro-sigma-mips-li3403/L47011300?sizeId=L47011300059)

What does Rock Out Camber do on the Salomon Abstract snowboard?

Rock Out Camber uses a flat section between the bindings, camber underfoot, and rocker at the tip and tail for stability, response, and easier presses. The board also uses a Quadralizer sidecut and Popster core for freestyle edge control and pop.

Does the MIPS label mean the Abstract snowboard has impact protection?

No, MIPS is a helmet safety system, not a snowboard construction feature. Salomon's Driver Pro Sigma MIPS helmet combines MIPS with EPS4D and a visor, while the Abstract board uses features such as Popster and Ghost Carbon Beams.

What type of rider suits the Salomon Abstract?

Salomon lists the Abstract as a unisex freestyle board for intermediate, advanced, and expert riders, with a true-twin shape. It is aimed at park, street, and creative freestyle riding rather than dedicated racing or deep-powder touring.
