FAQs
What does Mips stand for?
Mips stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, a safety technology that allows the helmet to slide slightly relative to the head to reduce rotational forces.
Is the visor necessary for safety?
The visor is primarily for comfort and blocking sun or trail debris. You can safely ride with or without it depending on preference.
How do I know when to replace the helmet?
You should replace any helmet if it has been involved in an impact, even if there is no visible damage, or if the internal foam shows signs of cracking or degradation.
Can the straps be adjusted?
Yes, while the strap dividers are fixed for a simple fit, the chin strap length can be adjusted to ensure a snug, comfortable connection.
Is this helmet suitable for all ages?
This model is specifically designed for kids. Always check the circumference measurements against your child's head size before purchase.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or shifts while riding
Ensure the Headmaster 3 rear dial is tightened and verify that the chin strap is adjusted so that only two fingers fit between the strap and the chin.
Head becomes overly hot during use
Check that the ventilation channels are not blocked by hair or long accessories and ensure the helmet is positioned correctly to allow air intake.
Inner pads become smelly or dirty
Detach the pads from the internal hook-and-loop strips, hand wash with mild detergent, and air dry completely before reattaching.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, begin by placing the helmet level on the head, with the front edge sitting just above the eyebrows. Use the rear Headmaster 3 dial to snug the retention system until the helmet remains stationary even when the child nods their head. Adjust the strap dividers so they sit comfortably just below the ears.
For care, wipe the outer shell with a soft cloth and mild soap. The interior moisture-wicking pads should be removed periodically and hand-washed in cool water to prevent odor buildup. Do not use chemical cleaners or solvents, as these can compromise the structural integrity of the helmet's materials.
