Your helmet should fit snugly on your head without being too tight.  It should sit level on your head, covering most of your forehead, but not obstructing your vision.  Once on your head, dial Pret’sRipcord 360 Fit to adjust to your perfect fit.  Your helmet should not move when you shake your head.  Finally, secure your chin strap, featuring ourFidlock Magneticstraps and buckle, to a comfortable length.

For the ultimate, fog-free experience and true seamless integration, nothing beats pairing a Pret helmet with a Pret Goggle. Pret Helmets are designed with our iconic brim that aligns perfectly with the shape of our Pret Goggle frames, enhancing the industry's strongest ventilation system, Pret's VisionVent system. Our VisionVent technology creates a perfectly tuned airflow channel to actively pull moisture out and guarantee maximum clarity.

Looking to use your other goggles? Pret helmets are designed and shaped to be highly compatible with virtually all major goggle brands.

Mips® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is one of the most widely adopted rotational mitigation systems and is included in every Pret helmet.  It is designed to reduce rotational forces to the brain during angled impacts.  Mips® consist of a low friction slip layer placed between the helmet shell and the part that contacts your head.  This slip layer is free to move relative to the rest of the helmet during an angled impact, thereby reducing the rotational acceleration transferred to the head.

Pret groups our helmets into different ventilation “tuning” levels depending on intended use, climate, and how much control/airflow the user wants

Level 1: Simple & Lightweight: The vents are minimal, simpler to operate, and optimized for cold or moderate conditions (you don’t need huge airflow). In this system, the user often has manual flaps to “open / close” or expose vents as needed.  Pret Helmets with Level 1 ventilation are Cynic, Lyric, Epic, Sol and Moxie.

Level 4: Maximum Ventilation / Highly Adjustable: These helmets offer a more aggressive venting architecture, with more vent ports, and adjustment mechanisms to “dump heat” when you're working hard (e.g. skinning, bootpacking) or close things down when conditions change. More vents and more adjustability give better control over thermal comfort, especially in variable temperatures or exertion levels.  Pret Helmets with Level 4 ventilation are Cirque and Corona.

Level C: Versatility & Control: Level C gives full control over the front and top vents for a quick “on/off” for your helmet ventilation. Push the slider to the front to open everything up, to the back to close it down, or leave it in the middle for a little bit of both. Pret Helmets with level C ventilation are Fury and Vision.

All helmets have a limited life span and should be replaced every 3-5 years.  The main protective layer of your helmet is formed using Expanded Poly-styrene (EPS). EPS is sensitive to temperature variance. Your helmet lives an active lifestyle and is exposed to the elements on a regular basis. As such, it is recommended your helmet is replaced every three to five years to eliminate the effect of EPS biodegradation on performance.
