FAQs
What is Mips® and how does it work?
Mips® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts. It typically involves a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the outer shell to rotate independently of your head.
How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?
A properly fitted helmet should sit level on your head, covering your forehead without tilting back or forward. It should feel snug all around without excessive pressure points. When you shake your head, the helmet should not move significantly.
Can I wash the helmet?
Do not immerse the helmet in water or use harsh detergents. Clean the shell and straps with a damp cloth and mild soap. The internal pads are removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water, then air-dried.
What does the Helmet Crash Replacement Scheme entail?
If your Endura helmet is damaged as a result of a crash, Endura will offer you a 50% discount on a new replacement helmet. You will typically need to provide proof of purchase and evidence of the crash damage.
Is this helmet suitable for children?
This particular model is designed for adults ('adult' age group). Please refer to child-specific helmets if you are purchasing for a younger rider.
How often should I replace my helmet?
Helmets should typically be replaced every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent. UV exposure and general wear can degrade the materials over time.
Does the helmet come with a specific MPN?
Yes, the Model Part Number (MPN) for this specific black variant is E1583BK.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly.
Ensure the rear retention dial is fully tightened. Re-adjust the side straps to ensure they form a 'V' shape below your ears and that the chin strap is snug.
Retention system is difficult to adjust.
Check for any debris obstructing the dial or mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Pads are uncomfortable or don't fit correctly.
Ensure you are using the correct set of pads if multiple sizes were provided. Make sure they are properly seated and attached within the helmet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Fit Adjustment: Loosen the retention system dial at the rear of the helmet. Place the helmet on your head, ensuring it sits level. Adjust the straps so they form a 'V' under each earlobe. Tighten the retention dial until the helmet feels snug but not uncomfortable. Use the three-point side adjustment to fine-tune the strap positioning.
- Visor Attachment: If detached, align the visor with the designated slots on the front of the helmet and press firmly until it clicks into place.
Compatibility:
The Endura Hummvee Mips Helmet is designed to meet CPSC and CE EN1078:2013 and A1:2012 standards, making it suitable for most forms of cycling, including road, mountain, and urban commuting. It is compatible with most eyewear, though some very large sunglass arms might interfere with the fit system.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the helmet shell, pads, and straps with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet materials. The pads are removable for easier cleaning.
- Drying: Allow the helmet and pads to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a helmet bag, to protect it from damage and UV exposure. Avoid storing it in extreme temperatures (e.g., in a hot car).
