FAQs
Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?
While it can be used on the road, it is designed specifically for trail and mountain bike geometry with added rear coverage and a visor.
Can I remove the visor?
Yes, the visor is adjustable and can generally be removed if you prefer a sleeker profile.
How often should I replace my helmet?
You should replace your helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately if it has been involved in any significant impact.
Is the helmet waterproof?
The shell is water-resistant, but the vents allow water to pass through. It is designed to dry quickly after exposure to rain.
Does this model include MIPS technology?
This specific model (Nomad 2) does not include MIPS. Please check your specific retail package if you require that feature.
What is the best way to store the helmet?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, such as those found inside a closed car during summer.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or wobbly
Ensure the Ergo Fit dial is tightened properly and the chin strap is adjusted to lie flat against the jawline.
Straps won't stay flat
Adjust the position of the No-Twist Tri-Glides to ensure the webbing path is not twisted under the chin.
Excessive sweating under pads
Remove the interior pads and wash them with mild soap to remove salt buildup, then ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight construction reduces neck fatigue on long rides
- Excellent ventilation keeps the head cool during intense activity
- Extended rear coverage provides increased protection for trail riding
- Highly adjustable fit system ensures stability on bumpy terrain
Cons
- Design is optimized for MTB, which may look bulky for road-specific cycling
- Lacks advanced safety features found in high-end MIPS-equipped helmets
- Limited aesthetic variety compared to performance-racing models
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the perfect fit, first loosen the rear Ergo Fit dial completely. Place the helmet on your head and tighten the dial until it feels snug but not restrictive. Adjust the No-Twist Tri-Glides so they sit comfortably just below your earlobes, ensuring the straps remain flat.
For care, clean the exterior shell with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Do not use strong detergents or solvents, as these can compromise the shell material. The internal padding is removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap; air dry completely before reinserting. Always inspect the straps and buckle for signs of wear before each ride.
