Product Information

Full details

The Oakley MOD3 MIPS Helmet is designed for skiers and snowboarders seeking a blend of safety, comfort, and adjustable fit. Its key benefit is the integrated Mips® system for rotational impact protection, combined with advanced ventilation and a customizable BOA® fit system. A potential caveat is that while designed for all-day comfort, the fit may require adjustment for some head shapes.

FAQs

How do I determine my correct helmet size?

Measure the circumference of your head about an inch above your eyebrows and across the widest part of the back of your head. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart: Small (S): 51-55cm, Medium (M): 55-59cm, Large (L): 59-63cm.

Is the Mips® system removable?

No, the Mips® system is integrated into the helmet's construction as a low-friction layer designed to reduce rotational forces during impacts. It cannot be removed.

Can I wear a beanie under the helmet?

The helmet is designed with an interior liner. Wearing a very thin balaclava or skullcap might be possible, but a thick beanie may affect the fit and the effectiveness of the BOA® system. It's best to try it with your preferred headwear to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

How often should I replace my helmet?

Helmets should generally be replaced every 3-5 years from the date of manufacture, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no damage is visible. Inspect the helmet regularly for any signs of wear or damage.

What is the purpose of the front goggle air intake port?

This port is designed to draw fresh air into the helmet and help vent warm, moist air away from your goggles, reducing the chance of fogging.

Does the helmet come with a warranty?

Oakley typically offers a limited warranty on their products against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the product documentation or Oakley's official website for specific warranty details pertaining to this helmet model.

How do I clean the helmet if it gets dirty?

Clean the exterior shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. The removable liner can be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water and air-dried completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the BOA® dial to loosen or tighten the fit. Ensure the helmet is sitting at the correct level on your head. If still uncomfortable, re-check the sizing guide for your head circumference.

Chin strap is uncomfortable or difficult to adjust

Readjust the main chin strap length. Ensure the Fidlock® buckle is centered correctly. Consult the manual for specific strap adjustment diagrams if needed.

Ventilation seems insufficient

Ensure the adjustable vents are open and the front goggle air intake port is clear of snow or debris. Check that the liner is properly seated and not obstructing airflow channels.

Liner is difficult to remove or reinsert

Gently pull the liner away from the helmet shell. It is typically secured by snaps or a snug fit. Reinsert by aligning it with the interior contours and pressing firmly until secure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Enhanced safety with Mips® rotational impact protection.
Customizable and secure fit with the BOA® system.
Effective ventilation to maintain comfort in varying temperatures.
Lightweight design for extended wear.
Convenient magnetic buckle for easy operation with gloves.
Removable and washable liner for hygiene.

Cons

Fit may require fine-tuning for optimal comfort for all head shapes.
Price point may be higher than non-Mips helmets.
Goggle integration is optimized for Oakley goggles, potential for gaps with other brands.
Exterior design, while bold, might not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Fit Adjustment: Before first use, place the helmet on your head. Turn the BOA® dial counter-clockwise to loosen the system, then place the helmet evenly. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head and does not rock excessively.
Strap Adjustment: Adjust the chin strap so that only one or two fingers fit between the strap and your chin. The magnetic Fidlock® buckle should easily connect and disconnect.

Compatibility:

Goggles: The MOD3 helmet is designed for optimal integration with Oakley goggles. While it may work with other brands, perfect integration (e.g., no goggle gap) is best achieved with Oakley models.
Headwear: Due to the BOA® system and liner, wearing bulky hats underneath may not be feasible or comfortable. A thin balaclava or skullcap might work.

Care:

Liner: The Polartec® Power Grid™ liner is removable and washable. Hand wash gently with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
Shell: Clean the exterior shell with a soft cloth dampened with water and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the shell or finish.
Storage: Store the helmet in the provided travel bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it near sharp objects that could scratch the shell. If involved in an impact, the helmet should be inspected and potentially replaced.
