What’s the difference between retention systems and GPS stabilizers?

Most Troxel helmets have both a retention system and GPS (Gripper-Positioning System). The retention system consists of the woven straps and the buckle. Its purpose is to keep the helmet in place during falls. The GPS holds the helmet comfortably in place during riding, eliminating “helmet bob”, which is why it is also often referred to as fit system. The GPS however is not part of the protective mechanisms of the helmet and depending on the forces involved may disintegrate upon impact. The retention system works independent of the GPS system.
