Product Information

Full details

The Smith Sidekick Jr. Mips Bicycle Helmet is designed for young riders tackling everything from neighborhood sidewalks to local pump tracks and trails. It offers parents peace of mind through advanced Mips rotational impact protection and durable in-mold construction, though the fixed vent system means airflow is constant rather than adjustable.

FAQs

What safety standards does this helmet meet?

It complies with U.S. CPSC Safety Standards, as well as CE EN 1078 and AS/NZS2063 certifications.

Can I attach a light to this helmet?

Yes, it is compatible with the rechargeable Transit Light, which can be mounted to the center rear vent.

Is the visor removable?

No, the Sidekick Jr. features an integrated visor designed for durability and consistent mountain bike styling.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The helmet should sit level on the head and not rock significantly front-to-back or side-to-side when the dial is secured.

Does the Mips system expire?

Mips is a mechanical layer inside the helmet. You should replace your helmet after any significant impact or if the structure becomes damaged, regardless of the Mips system age.

Can I wash the liner?

Yes, the performance comfort liner can be removed and hand-washed to keep the interior fresh.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose even when the dial is tightened

Ensure the rear cradle is sitting low enough on the back of the head, and verify that the side strap sliders are positioned correctly below the ears.

Eyewear is fogging up while riding

Ensure the Smith eyewear is properly positioned in the AirEvac channel areas of the helmet, and check that vents are not obstructed by hair or other debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve a proper fit, place the helmet on the rider's head and turn the rear dial until the retention system feels snug but comfortable. The straps should sit flat against the skin, forming a 'V' shape just below the ears.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean the shell using only mild soap and water.
  • Remove the performance comfort liner for hand-washing as needed.
  • Avoid using harsh solvents or chemicals on the foam interior.
  • Inspect the shell periodically for deep scratches or cracks after significant impacts.
