2Vi® Helmet Technology by Sweet Protection
You can control how and when you fall. But you can choose what you wear when you do. That's the starting point for 2Vi® Helmet Technology from Sweet Protection, the Norwegian brand behind helmets worn by everyone from World Cup racers to weekend skiers. Here's what sets it apart.
Three layers, one system
Every 2Vi® helmet is built from three parts that work together, each one tuned to the specific model and activity.
Inside 2Vi®
2Vi® Helmet Technology
Scientifically optimized impact protection with the lowest possible profile. Developed for each helmet model and activity.
Variable Elasticity Shell
The outer shell is your first line of defence. It balances stiffness and flexibility so impact forces spread out rather than concentrate in one spot.
Shock Absorbing Structure
Inside, a multi-density liner absorbs the energy of an impact. Three densities are moulded into one structure, with extra impact shields where the head is most exposed.
Mips® Safety System
Every 2Vi® helmet has a Mips® system designed for that specific model. Mips® is designed to help reduce rotational forces transferred to the head during certain impacts.

2Vi® is available across Sweet Protection's snow and bike range, so there's a helmet for however you ride. For all-mountain days and freeride, the Trooper 2Vi® Mips and Grimnir 2Vi® Mips have you covered. If you want a versatile, low-profile everyday helmet, the Switcher 2Vi® Mips and Igniter 2Vi® Mips are worth a look. And if you're after speed on groomed runs, the Volata 2Vi® Mips is built for the race course.
On the bike, the Falconer 2Vi® Mips and Falconer Aero 2Vi® Mips are made for fast road riding, the Redeemer 2Vi® Mips is built for time trials, and the Bushwhacker 2Vi® Mips is made for the trail.

Measure around your head, just above your eyebrows, and compare with the size chart on the product page. Our helmet fit guide takes you through measuring, trying on and fine-tuning the fit.
Yes. Replace your helmet after a significant impact, even if you can’t see any damage. Our Crash Replacement Program helps you get back out there.
Stronger. Lighter. Better.
