K2 Emphasis MIPS Helmet | Charcoal (No Box/Ex Display)
Sleek women's hardshell with adjustable vents and MIPS.
The K2 Emphasis MIPS is a women's hardshell helmet with subtle branding, clean contouring and a MIPS liner. It's made for riders who want a dialled, sleek lid that lets their riding do the talking. This one is an ex-display helmet sold without its original box, with some very minor scratches, in Charcoal.
Lightweight EPS foam is bonded to a durable injection-moulded ABS shell. MIPS adds a low-friction layer that lets the helmet slide slightly relative to your head, to help reduce rotational forces in angled impacts. Active Matrix vents let you adjust airflow, the K2Dialed three-point fit adjusts with a dial, and the washable full wrap liner wicks moisture.

Size Guide
Wrap a soft tape around your head about 2cm above your eyebrows, over the widest point and just above your ears. If you're between sizes, K2's dial fit lets you snug down a larger size, but the helmet should sit level and not move when you shake your head. Always try it with your goggles on.
| Size | Head circumference | Inches |
|---|---|---|
| S | 51–55cm | 20 1/2"–21 5/8" |
| M | 55–59cm | 22"–23 1/8" |
The K2Dialed dial fine-tunes the fit within each size.
About K2
K2 started on Vashon Island, Washington, in the early 1960s, when Bill Kirschner began building fibreglass skis that were lighter and livelier than the wood and metal skis of the day. K2 jumped into snowboarding in the late 1980s and went on to launch the Clicker step-in binding in the 90s.
Today K2 builds snowboards, boots, bindings and helmets out of Seattle. Its helmets are known for the dial-adjust K2Dialed fit system, Active Matrix vents and, on selected models, dual certification for both snow and bike riding. Riders choose K2 for gear that's dialled, comfortable and made to last a whole season.
FAQs
What certifications does the K2 Emphasis MIPS have?
K2 lists the K2 Emphasis MIPS as Snow Certified to ASTM F2040 (US) and EN 1077 (Europe). It's built for snowboarding and skiing; it isn't a bike helmet.
What size K2 Emphasis MIPS should I get?
Measure about 2cm above your eyebrows and match it to K2's chart: S 51–55cm, M 55–59cm. The dial covers small differences; between sizes, try both with your goggles on.
When should I replace my helmet?
Replace it after any significant impact, even if you can't see damage. The EPS foam inside is designed to crush once to absorb a hit, so a helmet that has taken a big crash may not protect you the same way again. Also replace it if the shell is cracked, the foam is dented or the strap or buckle is damaged.
What does MIPS do in the Emphasis MIPS?
MIPS is a low-friction layer that lets the helmet slide slightly relative to your head in an angled impact. It's designed to help reduce rotational forces reaching your head.
Is an ex-display helmet OK to buy?
Yes. An ex-display helmet has been on display or tried on in store, not crashed, so the protective foam is intact. This one has some very minor scratches and no box.

K2 FAQS
What size K2 board do I need?
Start with your weight and boot size, then think about where you ride. Our K2 size charts cover the current boards, and we're happy to size you up in store or over the phone.
What is Volume Shift?
It moves surface area from the tip and tail towards the waist. On the Excavator that means you can ride it around 4 to 10cm shorter than usual, with less swing weight and less toe and heel drag.
What are Intuition liners?
Heat mouldable Intuition foam that forms to your foot, ankle and leg. You'll find it in K2 boots like the Maysis and Kinsley, and we heat mould them in store.
Will K2 bindings fit my board?
K2 bindings use a multi-compatible disc. Tell us your board model and we'll check the fit before you buy.
Can I pick up in store or return it?
Yes, you can pick up from our Richmond showroom. For returns and exchanges, everything you need is in our returns policy.

Anon goggles
Anon goggles. Great advice from staff, and prompt delivery. Love the goggles. Thanks 12 Board Store. .
Darren Nutt
Excellent Anon Magna-tech feature and light level
I needed a new lens for my Anon M4 goggles and I already had a Perceive variable green and variable blue, so I went with the variable violet! I never really have any need for the cloudy or sunny spectrum of lenses.
