FAQs
What is SLID™ technology?
SLID™ is an internal impact protection system integrated into the helmet to help reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during an impact.
Can I replace the internal pads?
Yes, the HJC Ibex 3 includes a set of spare pads to replace the original ones as they wear out over time.
How do I use the sunglasses holder?
The helmet features specific channels designed to hold the temples of your sunglasses securely when you are not wearing them.
Is the Ibex 3 suitable for mountain biking?
While it can be used for light off-road riding, the Ibex 3 is specifically optimized for road cycling performance and aerodynamics.
What does the 11-step micro-control dial do?
It allows you to make precise, small adjustments to the fit of the helmet while you are actively riding.
Is the helmet waterproof?
The materials are moisture-resistant and designed to handle rain and sweat, but the ventilation system is open, so it will not keep your head dry in a downpour.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose after adjustment
Ensure the rear dial is fully engaged in one of the 11 micro-steps and check that the rear cradle is sitting below the occipital bone.
Difficulty inserting sunglasses
Ensure the sunglasses are being inserted into the dedicated ports from the correct angle; verify there is no debris in the slots.
Padding feels scratchy or dirty
Wash the internal pads using the instructions in the care guide and ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight design for long-ride comfort
- Superior ventilation via COOLPATH™ technology
- Highly precise fit adjustment with 11-step micro-control
- Enhanced safety features including SLID™ impact reduction
- Includes essential accessories like spare pads and a helmet bag
Cons
- Higher price point reflecting its pro-level feature set
- Requires a learning curve to master the automatic SELFIT PRO™ fit
- Less cushioning in the crown area due to the COOLPATH™ ventilation design
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pull the helmet over your head and allow the SELFIT PRO™ system to automatically settle into place. Use the 11-step micro-control dial at the back to fine-tune the tension until the helmet feels secure but comfortable.
Care Instructions:
- Use the provided helmet bag during transport to prevent shell scratches.
- If the Ionic+ fabric pads become saturated with sweat, remove them carefully and hand wash them with mild soap and water.
- Do not use harsh solvents or chemical cleaners on the shell, as these can degrade the material.
- Inspect the carbon reinforcement areas periodically for hairline cracks after any heavy impact.
