FAQs
What does MIPS technology do?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during angled impacts, which are common in falls.
Is this helmet suitable for all types of riding?
The Uvex Exxential III MIPS is designed to meet equestrian safety standards (EN 1384:2023-06) and is suitable for various riding disciplines. However, it is not certified for other sports like cycling or skiing.
How do I clean the helmet?
Clean the helmet with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure it is dry before storing.
Can I wear a riding hat with a ponytail?
Yes, this helmet features a specific ponytail cut-out designed to accommodate long hair comfortably and securely.
What is the warranty period for this helmet?
Information regarding warranty periods is typically found with the product packaging or the retailer. Please check your purchase documentation for specific details.
How do I know if the MIPS system is working correctly?
The MIPS system involves a movable inner shell. It should allow for slight independent movement relative to the helmet's outer shell during impacts. Proper adjustment of the helmet fit ensures the MIPS system is correctly positioned against your head.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Adjust the internal harness and dial system to achieve a secure fit. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head, not tilted back or forward.
Ponytail cut-out is uncomfortable
Ensure your ponytail is secured correctly and fits through the cut-out without pulling. Adjust the helmet's position slightly if needed.
MIPS system seems stiff or not moving
The MIPS system is designed for angled impacts. While it should allow for slight movement, it is not designed to be freely loose. Ensure the MIPS liner is properly seated and adjusted according to the manual.
Visible damage to the helmet shell or padding
Discontinue use immediately. Inspect for cracks, dents, or significant wear. For safety reasons, replace the helmet if any damage is found, especially after an impact.
