FAQs

What does MIPS stand for and how does it work?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during angled impacts, thus helping to prevent or reduce brain injury.

Is this helmet suitable for very young children?

The Youn-I MIPS helmet is designed for children and women with smaller heads. While it offers excellent protection, ensure the size is appropriate and it fits securely. Always supervise young children during cycling activities.

How do I clean the helmet?

You can clean the helmet by wiping it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. The padding can usually be removed for gentle hand washing.

What is the expected lifespan of the helmet?

Helmets are typically recommended to be replaced every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent. Material degradation can occur over time due to UV exposure and general wear.

How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?

A correctly fitted helmet should sit level on your head, covering your forehead. It should feel snug and secure without being uncomfortably tight. When you shake your head, the helmet should not shift significantly. The straps should form a 'V' under each ear and the chin strap should be snug enough that you can only fit one or two fingers between the strap and your chin.

Does the integrated LED light require specific battery types?

Yes, the integrated LED light typically uses standard button-cell batteries. Please refer to the product manual or the battery compartment for the exact battery type required.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or wobbly.

Adjust the Zoom Evo Kids dial at the back for a tighter fit. Ensure the straps are correctly positioned and tightened under the chin.

Helmet slips down over the eyes.

The helmet is likely too big or not adjusted correctly. Tighten the rear dial and adjust the 'V' shape of the ear straps. The front of the helmet should sit about two finger-widths above the eyebrows.

LED rear light is not working.

Check and replace the batteries in the LED unit. Ensure the battery compartment is properly closed.

Comfort issues or pressure points.

Loosen the adjustment dial slightly and reposition the helmet. Ensure the internal padding is correctly seated. Different head shapes may require minor adjustments for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
