All Sweet Protection helmets are made to ensure your safety and comfort whether you are riding your bike, paddling down the river or snowboarding in the backcountry.
Our helmets are categorized in three main categories; ski and snowboard, bike and paddle sports. Each category has individual needs for use and certifications, and it is obviously some seasonal changes as well. Helmets made for ski and snowboard are designed, tested and certified with the materials and construction which endure the cold weather. To find the right size, wrap a measuring tape around the head, just above the ears.

How to choose the right helmet
The helmets will keep you warm and they will work with your goggles. When you bike you typically would like to have as much venting as possible, hence the bike helmets have high focus on providing as good air flow as possible while still being as safe as possible. Here's a guide that will take you through how to size and choose the right helmet.
4. Find your size
To find the right size, wrap a measuring tape around the head, just above the ears (see figure). Try to keep it level front to back. Once you have your measurement, you can use the chart below as a guide. Some of our helmets have different measurements, so please located the one you want.
Keep in mind that all Sweet Protection helmets have adjustment systems and are delivered with fit pads to ensure the perfect fit

When should a helmet be replaced?
Our helmets are made to absorb some of the potential energy of a blow. Even though damage may not be visible or apparent, it is imperative to discard and replace any helmet that has sustained a major impact in an accident or has received a similarly severe blow. An inspection of the helmet might not reveal any apparent damage, but it might be there. We also advise that any helmet should be replaced after approximately three years of normal use, or sooner if exposed to long periods of sun, hard use, or any contact with chemicals. Your helmet must also be replaced if it does not fit anymore.
A helmet will be damaged if exposed to temperatures exceeding 62°C (approx. 150°F). Do not leave the helmet in a car (or similar) in hot weather, as it may easily exceed this temperature. If exposed to such temperatures, the helmet must be immediately discarded and replaced.
Our helmets 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 invalidate the warranty. Sweet Protection or its distributors accept no liability for damage or injuries resulting from misuse or from a modified helmet.
