Full details
The Fox Flight Mips Helmet is designed for adult riders seeking enhanced head protection. Its key benefit is the integrated Mips® technology, which helps reduce rotational forces during impacts, potentially minimizing head injury severity. A slight caveat is that while it includes extra liner sets, regular cleaning is still necessary for optimal comfort and hygiene. This helmet offers a lower-profile fit and feel, constructed with single-density EPS for reliable impact absorption.

FAQs
What does Mips® technology do?
Mips® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts, which are common in crashes.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by Fox Head Clothing, typically based on head circumference measurements. The helmet should feel snug and secure without causing pressure points.
Can I wash the helmet itself?
No, the helmet shell should generally not be immersed in water or cleaned with harsh chemicals. Spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth only. The liner sets are removable and washable.
What materials is the helmet made from?
The Fox Flight Mips Helmet is constructed using EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) for the inner shell, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) for the outer shell, and polyester for the straps and liners.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent. Materials can degrade over time and after impacts.
Are the liner sets machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash the liner sets with mild soap and water and allow them to air dry. Machine washing may damage the material.
What is the main advantage of the redesigned interior shape?
The redesigned interior shape allows the helmet to sit lower on your head, providing a lower-profile look and an improved overall fit.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Ensure the chin strap is properly tightened. If the internal fit adjustment is present, tighten it until snug. The helmet should not move excessively forward, backward, or side-to-side when the straps are secured.
Liner feels uncomfortable or is excessively sweaty
Swap the current liner with the included spare liner. For long-term comfort, wash the removed liner with mild soap and water, and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
Exterior finish appears to be peeling
This can be caused by contact with aerosol products like bug spray or sunscreen. Ensure the helmet is kept away from these chemicals. Clean the affected area gently with a damp cloth if possible, but note that damage from these substances may be permanent.
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten
Check for any debris in the buckle mechanism. Gently clean the buckle with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. If the issue persists, the buckle may require inspection or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Fox Flight Mips Helmet comes ready to wear. Ensure the fit is snug but comfortable by adjusting the internal system if applicable (though this model specifies a standard buckle closure). The included liner sets can be installed or replaced as needed.
Compatibility: This helmet is designed for adult riders and is generally compatible with most cycling helmets accessories that do not interfere with the helmet's shell or fit. It is important to ensure the helmet fits correctly before use; it should sit level on your head and cover your forehead.
Care: Refer to the Fox Helmet Care Guide for detailed instructions. Generally, clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Liner sets can be hand-washed with mild soap and water and air-dried.
