FAQs
What is MIPS technology and how does it work?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is an additional layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts. It allows the head to move slightly (10-15mm) in all directions upon impact, mitigating the risk of concussion and traumatic brain injury.
What safety standards does the MS1 Pro Jockey Skull meet?
It meets SEI certification to ASTM F1163-15, Kitemarks to VG1 01-040 2014-12 and PAS015:2011, and a CE mark to VG1 01-040 2014-12.
Can I wash the entire helmet?
No, only the removable headband should be washed. Wipe the outer shell and internal padding (if not part of the removable headband) with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the helmet in water.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is present. The materials can degrade over time and after an impact.
Is this helmet suitable for all equestrian disciplines?
Yes, the MS1 Pro Jockey Skull is designed for general equestrian use and meets multiple international safety standards, making it suitable for various disciplines.
How do I ensure the helmet provides the best protection?
Ensure the helmet fits correctly – it should be snug, level on your head, and not move excessively. Always secure the chin strap properly. Follow the care instructions to maintain its integrity.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Adjust the internal padded harness for a snug but comfortable fit. The helmet should not move excessively during activity.
Headband becomes discolored or smells unpleasant
Remove the headband and hand wash it in cool water with mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching. Ensure it is fully dry to prevent mildew.
Difficulty cleaning the outer shell
Use only a soft, damp cloth for cleaning the ABS outershell. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap diluted in water can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth. Always dry with a soft cloth.
Ventilation slots are blocked
Gently use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clear any dust or debris from the ventilation slots to ensure proper airflow.
