Simple, Lightweight, Always Ready

The Cynic helmet features a Level 1 Ventilation system that is all about lightweight, simple control. When you're feeling the chill, just reach inside and manually adjust the interior liner to close off the vents. When the sun pops and you want to open up for more airflow, simply flip the liner flaps over to expose the vents. It's a no-fuss system that lets you dial in the air exactly how you want it, so you can focus on the ride, not your gear.

PROTECTION WITHOUT COMPROMISE

  • Impact Protection: ACT in-mold multi-shell construction and specific gravity EPS foam density optimizes each impact zone so you have the protection right where you need it.
  • MIPS System: Because not all impacts are head-on, every Pret helmet is MIPS equipped for multi-directional impact protection to reduce rotational energy.
  • IONIC+ Liner + Haleo: Pret's HALEO technology kills 99.9% of bacteria, mold, and mildew, while the IONIC+ antimicrobial fabric helmet liner fights odor as you sweat. This combo offers permanent protection and freshness that lasts for the life of the helmet.
