FAQs

What is MIPS and why is it important?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It's a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts, providing an extra layer of safety.

How do I clean my Outrider MIPS helmet?

Clean the helmet with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents. The interior pads can typically be removed and hand-washed.

What is the weight of the Sweet Protection Outrider MIPS Helmet?

The helmet weighs approximately 300g, contributing to its lightweight comfort for extended wear.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

The Outrider MIPS is designed for road and gravel versatility. While it offers good protection, it may not provide the extended coverage or features found in helmets specifically designed for more aggressive mountain biking disciplines.

Can I wear glasses with this helmet?

Yes, the helmet is designed to be compatible with most standard cycling glasses. The design allows for space to accommodate eyewear comfortably.

How do I adjust the fit system?

Use the dial located at the rear of the helmet to tighten or loosen the fit. Adjust the straps so they form a 'Y' below your ears and ensure the chin strap is comfortably snug.

What is the warranty period for this helmet?

Please refer to the product packaging or the official Sweet Protection website for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points

Loosen the rear fit dial and readjust the helmet's position on your head. Ensure the straps are not overtightened. Use the interchangeable comfort pads to fine-tune the fit if necessary.

Straps are difficult to adjust

Ensure the buckles are clean and free of debris. Gently slide the strap dividers to adjust the "Y" position below your ears. The chin strap should be snug but not uncomfortable.

Ventilation seems insufficient

Ensure that the vents are not blocked by hair or accessories. For maximum airflow, make sure the helmet is positioned correctly on your head to allow air to channel through the intended pathways.

Helmet moves around during riding

Tighten the rear fit dial until the helmet feels secure. Check that the "Y" strap position is correctly set below the ears and the chin strap is snug.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety with MIPS technology to reduce rotational impact forces.
  • Lightweight design minimizes fatigue on long rides.
  • Customizable fit for maximum comfort and stability.
  • Excellent ventilation keeps the head cool in warm weather.
  • Aerodynamic profile aids in speed and efficiency.
  • Suitable for a wide range of cycling disciplines including road and gravel.

Cons

  • May not offer the specific coverage or features required for extreme mountain biking.
  • The design prioritizes a balance of features, which might mean it's not the absolute lightest or most aerodynamic option in its class.
  • Color options may be limited.
  • Relies on a standard retention system which may not suit all head shapes perfectly.
  • Visibility features (like integrated lights) are not included.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust Fit System: Place the helmet on your head. Turn the dial at the rear of the helmet clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head, covering the forehead.
  2. Strap Adjustment: Adjust the side straps so they form a "Y" shape just below your earlobes. The chin strap should be snug enough that you can fit no more than one or two fingers between the strap and your chin.

Compatibility:

The Outrider MIPS helmet is designed for adult cyclists and is compatible with most standard cycling eyewear. Its versatile design is suitable for road cycling, gravel riding, and general commuting.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the helmet exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the helmet materials.
  • Padding: The interior comfort pads can usually be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it where it could be crushed or impacted.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn straps. If significant damage is found, the helmet should be replaced.
