FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the 3K Carbon Airframe?

The 3K Carbon Airframe replaces internal EPS foam with a carbon wing structure. This creates a continuous internal air channel, significantly enhancing airflow and cooling at all speeds, a key benefit for intense cycling.

How does the MIPS Air System enhance safety?

The MIPS Air System is an ultra-lightweight rotational protection layer. It's designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during angled impacts, thereby lowering the risk of certain types of brain injury.

What does the Virginia Tech 5-Star Rating signify?

This rating is the result of independent safety testing by Virginia Tech. A 5-star rating indicates superior performance in impact protection, with the MET Trenta 3K Carbon Airframe showing a 40% improvement over previous designs.

Is this helmet suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the helmet is engineered for optimal ventilation, with 16% more airflow than its predecessor due to redesigned vents and internal channeling, making it highly effective in hot conditions.

How do I adjust the helmet for the best fit?

Use the Safe-T Orbital fit system's rear dial for a 360° fit. You can also adjust the vertical positioning of the occipital cradle to ensure a secure and comfortable fit without pressure points.

Can I store my sunglasses in the helmet?

Yes, the helmet features integrated sunglasses ports designed for convenient storage of your eyewear when not in use.

What is the weight of the helmet?

The helmet weighs approximately 260g in a size Medium.

What sizes are available?

The MET Trenta 3K Carbon Airframe is available in sizes S (52-56cm), M (56-58cm), and L (58-61cm).

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points

Readjust the Safe-T Orbital fit system. Ensure the internal cradle is positioned correctly and the dial is not overtightened. Check strap adjustments for even pressure.

Straps are uncomfortable or tend to move

Adjust the Air Lite strap dividers for a precise fit. Ensure the Y-splitters are positioned below the earlobes. The straps should lie flat and securely.

Ventilation seems insufficient

Ensure the internal channels are clear of debris. The helmet's design maximizes airflow, but obstructions can reduce effectiveness. Confirm the helmet is positioned correctly on your head.

MIPS liner feels loose

The MIPS Air System is designed to be lightweight and may have a slight degree of movement to allow for rotation. Ensure the main helmet fit system is secure, which will stabilize the MIPS layer during impact.
