FAQs

What is the MIPS AIR® System?

MIPS AIR® is an ultra-light rotational impact protection system integrated into the helmet's padding. It's designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during angled impacts.

How do I clean the helmet?

Gently clean the helmet with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the helmet is completely dry before storing.

Can I use this helmet for activities other than road cycling?

This helmet is specifically engineered for the demands of road cycling. While it offers excellent protection, its design features are optimized for this discipline and may not be ideal for mountain biking or other sports.

How do I store the helmet when not in use?

Store the helmet in the included soft bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps protect the materials and preserves its performance.

What does '3K Carbon Construction' mean?

3K Carbon Construction refers to the integration of a carbon fiber cage within the helmet's liner. This enhances the shell's strength and structural integrity without adding significant weight.

How do I adjust the fit system?

Use the dial on the rear of the MET Safe-T Orbital Fit System to tighten or loosen the helmet. You can also adjust the vertical position of the cradle at the back for a customized fit.

Are replacement pads available?

Refer to the manufacturer's website or authorized retailers for information on replacement pads. Ensure you purchase pads specifically designed for the MET Trenta 3K Carbon MIPS® helmet.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the MET Safe-T Orbital Fit System dial. Readjust the vertical and occipital settings to find a more comfortable position. Ensure the Air Lite straps are not overly tightened.

Straps are difficult to adjust

Ensure the adjustable divider under the ears is correctly positioned and functioning. If the straps feel stiff, they may need a gentle clean and perhaps a light conditioning (use products safe for synthetic materials).

Padding feels loose or shifts during ride

Check if the padding is correctly seated within the helmet. Some padding elements may be removable for cleaning; ensure they are reinstalled securely. The MIPS AIR® liner is integrated and should not be loose.

Poor ventilation despite open vents

Ensure there are no obstructions in the internal air channeling. Make sure the helmet is positioned correctly on your head; a loose fit can impede airflow. Clean any dirt or sweat residue from the vents and channels.
