Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this helmet safety certified?

Yes, it meets three international standards: ASTM F1163-15, PAS015:2011, and VG1 01-040 2014-12.

What is MIPS?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, a technology that allows the helmet to slide relative to the head to reduce rotational motion during an impact.

Can I use this helmet if I have an oval head?

Yes, the shell is designed to be universal and fits both round and oval head shapes effectively using the adjustable dial.

How do I wash the headband?

The headband is removable and machine washable. Use a mild detergent and a delicate wash cycle.

Is the peak breakable?

The peak is designed to be flexible to reduce the risk of injury during a fall, though it should be handled with care to maintain its shape.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose even when dial is tightened

Check if the headband lining is properly snapped into place or if it has become worn down over time.

Dial-fit mechanism feels stiff

Ensure no debris or grit has entered the gear mechanism; gently wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Triple safety certification (ASTM, PAS015, VG1)
  • MIPS technology for superior brain protection
  • Universal fit design for both round and oval head shapes
  • Highly breathable with advanced ventilation
  • Sustainably sourced and recycled packaging

Cons

  • Matte surface can be prone to scuffing
  • Requires careful storage to avoid peak damage
  • Less traditional look compared to velvet helmets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the optimal fit, place the helmet on your head and rotate the rear dial until the cradle holds the helmet securely against the base of your skull. Ensure the chin strap is adjusted so that the quick-release buckle sits comfortably under the jaw. For maintenance, remove the headband lining regularly for a machine wash on a delicate cycle using mild soap. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always transport it in a padded bag to protect the matte finish and flexible peak.
