FAQs

What is the primary function of MIPS?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain during angled impacts.

Can I remove the visor?

The visor is integrated into the shell design for trail snag-resistance and is not intended to be removed.

How do I know if the size L is right for me?

The size L (58-61cm) is designed for heads measuring 58cm to 61cm in circumference; measure your head just above the eyebrows to confirm.

Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?

While it can be used on the road, its weight and ventilation are optimized specifically for mountain and trail riding.

How often should I replace the helmet?

It is recommended to replace any helmet after a significant impact, or every 3 to 5 years depending on usage and wear.

Are the pads washable?

Yes, the internal padding can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose even when tightened

Adjust the 360-degree dial system first, then ensure the side strap splitters are correctly positioned beneath the ears to lock the fit.

Airflow feels restricted

Check that the internal air channels are not blocked by hair or headwear. Ensure the helmet is tilted forward correctly to allow air into the front vents.

Rear light attachment is wobbly

Check that the light mount is snapped firmly into the designated rear port and ensure the USB connection is clear of debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of safety with integrated MIPS technology
  • Excellent ventilation for hot-weather trail riding
  • Extended rear coverage for increased head protection
  • Easy-to-use 360-degree fit adjustment system
  • Practical integration for sunglasses and rear lighting

Cons

  • Not intended for competitive road cycling due to its specific trail shape
  • Only available in a white colorway
  • Requires specific care for internal MIPS liners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum safety, adjust the Safe-T Sport 360° dial until the helmet fits snugly but comfortably without pressure points. The chin strap should be positioned so it sits just below the ears. For maintenance, clean the shell with a soft cloth and mild soap; do not use chemical solvents. The internal pads are removable and hand-washable to keep the helmet fresh. If you plan to ride in low-light conditions, ensure your rear USB LED light is securely mounted to the designated spot on the rear of the helmet. Always store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources that could degrade the structural foam.
