FAQs

What is Mips® and why is it important?

Mips® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a leading slip-plane inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts. This significantly enhances protection compared to helmets without this technology.

Is this helmet suitable for general trail riding or only downhill?

The Proframe is designed as an all-mountain and enduro helmet, making it suitable for aggressive trail riding and downhill racing due to its full-face coverage and safety standards. It is also designed to be well-ventilated for climbing.

How do I clean the helmet and its pads?

Wipe the helmet shell with a soft, damp cloth. The interior pads can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cool water, then air-dried completely before reinserting.

Can I mount a different action camera on the under-visor mount?

The mount is designed for GoPro cameras. While other cameras might fit with adapters, a secure and safe connection is not guaranteed. Always ensure any mounted accessory is firmly attached.

What is the ASTM-F1952 certification?

This is a safety standard specifically for downhill mountain biking helmets, ensuring a high level of protection for the most demanding disciplines.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Try the helmet on and adjust the straps. Use the included additional pad set to fill any gaps and ensure the helmet is snug and stable without pressure points. It should not move excessively when you shake your head.

What should I do if my helmet comes into contact with sunscreen or bug spray?

Immediately wipe off any excess product with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid prolonged contact. Be aware that some chemicals can degrade the helmet's finish over time, potentially affecting its appearance and, in severe cases, structural integrity.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or wobbly.

Ensure you have selected the correct helmet size and use the included additional pad set to fine-tune the fit for a snug, secure feel.

Visor is difficult to adjust.

Gently apply pressure to the visor in the desired direction. Ensure no debris is obstructing the adjustment mechanism.

Chin strap is uncomfortable.

Readjust the strap length and position. Ensure the buckle is centered and the strap lies flat against your skin. Adjust so you can fit one to two fingers between the strap and your chin.

Helmet finish appears to be peeling or discolored.

This is likely due to contact with aerosol sprays. Avoid using such products near the helmet. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to dry naturally. Future damage may be irreversible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent full-face protection for aggressive riding.
  • Mips technology enhances safety by reducing rotational forces.
  • Lightweight construction minimizes fatigue on long rides.
  • Good ventilation keeps the rider cool.
  • Adjustable visor is compatible with goggles.
  • Integrated camera mount is a convenient feature.

Cons

  • Aerosol sprays like bug repellent and sunscreen can damage the helmet's finish.
  • Full-face design may be warmer than open-face helmets in very hot conditions.
  • Requires careful fitting to ensure maximum protection.
  • Can be bulkier to store than less protective helmet types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your Proframe helmet, begin by trying it on. Use the included additional pad set to achieve a snug and comfortable fit. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head and the chin strap is adjusted so you can fit one or two fingers between the strap and your chin. The visor can be adjusted to three positions to accommodate goggles and different riding conditions.

Compatibility: The 3-position visor is designed to be compatible with most mountain bike goggles. The removable under-visor mount is compatible with standard GoPro action cameras.

Care: To maintain the helmet's integrity and appearance, avoid direct exposure to aerosol sprays such as bug repellent and sunscreens, as these can cause the helmet's finish to peel. Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth. For the interior pads, follow specific cleaning instructions provided with the helmet, typically involving gentle hand washing and air drying. Always store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
