Operating Instructions
MIPS Safety System
The Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) is an integrated low-friction layer designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts. This system allows the helmet's outer shell to slide relative to the head in the event of a crash, significantly reducing the forces on the brain.

Active Ventilation
The helmet features 8 strategically placed vents that actively capture airflow. This air is then passed through interior cooling channels to help keep you cool and comfortable during your rides, especially on longer journeys.

Visor
The helmet includes a premium visor designed to reduce glare and enhance your field of vision. The visor is removable, allowing you to customize the helmet's appearance and functionality based on your preference or riding conditions.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your helmet, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to clean the helmet's exterior and interior padding. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the helmet's finish or protective layers.
- Strap Care: Periodically check the chin straps and buckles for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure they are clean and free from debris.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the helmet, as this can deform its shape and compromise its protective capabilities.
- Magnetic Light: Keep the magnetic contacts on both the light and the helmet clean to ensure proper connection and charging.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Thousand Chapter MIPS Helmet, consider the following:
- Helmet feels too tight or too loose: Adjust the dial fit system at the back of the helmet. Ensure the chin straps are properly tightened and centered under your chin. Refer to the Helmet Fitting section for detailed instructions.
- Magnetic Tail Light not turning on/charging: Ensure the light is securely attached to the helmet or adapter. Check that the USB charging cable is properly connected to both the light and a power source. Clean the magnetic contacts on both the light and the helmet. If the light has been stored for a long time, it may require a full charge.
- PopLock not engaging: Ensure the PopLock cover is fully removed and the channel is clear of any obstructions.
