ABS Thermoplastic Shell
Our injection moulded ABS Thermoplastic Shell is very impact resistant through it's special rubber toughened construction. The shell is molded with extreme precision to offer the best performance to weight ratio.
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Shell
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Shell (CRP) provides an incredible strength to weight ratio, rigidity and impact performance. By carefully laminating fibers with different properties and directions, we're able to create a superlight, optimized helmet shell. An invention from the cold war put to good use.
Gate Shields
Gate Shields are EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) with polycarbonate shells in-moulded into the main EPS liner to protect the shock absorbing structure of the helmet from gate impacts. The Gate shields are placed both in the front and the back of the helmet, as the gates tend to bend after an impact in the front, and hit the helmet in the back as well.
EPS Liner
The advanced EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) Liner is constructed with variable bridge-and channel volume in order to optimise the overall impact protection performance.
Occigrip Turndial
Makes the helmet easily adjustable with a low volume mechanism. The Occigrip construction provides a firm and comfortable fit and prevents the helmet from rolling on your head. Adjustable in both reach and height.
CoolMax Liner
A stitched, full covering liner made from the anti-allergenic and moisture wicking Coolmax material. It provides great comfort in a wide range of temperatures.
Direct Ventilation
Keeps your head cool. The number of vents and their configuration varies. The more vents, the cookler you will be.
Fitpads
Place as you please for the ultimate personalised fit.
To find the right size, wrap a measuring tape around the head, just above the ears. Try to keep it level front to back. Once you have your measurement, you can use the chart below as a guide. Keep in mind that all Sweet Protection helmets have adjustment systems and are delivered with fit pads to ensure the perfect fit. Obviously there is nothing better than coming into store to try before you buy.

In order for you to enjoy the safety of the Sweet Protection Helmet, please take some time to carefully read how you should take care of your helmet.
Before every time you use your helmet, make sure nothing is badly torn, worn or missing.
Replacement: Your helmet is made to absorb some of the potential energy of a blow. Even though damage may not be visible or apparent, it is infinitely important that any helmet having suffered from a major impact in an accident, or has received a similarly severe blow, should be replaced. An inspection of the helmet might not reveal any apparent damage, but it might be there. Sweet Protection also advise that any helmet should be replaced after approximately three years of normal use, or even sooner if exposed to long periods of sun, hard use, or any contact with chemicals. The helmet must also be replaced if it does not fit anymore.
For cleaning, use clean water (max temperature 30°C) and mild soap only. Dry naturally and not in contact with direct heat or on hot surfaces.
Avoid any applications of paint, adhesive stickers/transfers, cleaning fluids, chemicals and other solvents that may drastically reduce the protection given by this helmet.
The helmet will be damaged if exposed to temperatures exceeding 62°C (ca. 150°F). Please note that leaving the helmet in the window of your car (or similar) on a warm and sunny day, it may easily exceed this temperature. If exposed to such temperatures, the helmet must be immediately discarded and replaced.
The helmet will not perform as intended if you modify or replace any of the original elements included in the helmet. Please note that any customizing is not recommended, and that this will cancel the warranty.
