Why We Like The Arbitrator MIPS Helmet
So you've finally made it out on the mountain bike trip of a lifetime, ripping hot laps at the bike park one day and then heading out on an epic trail ride in the mountains the next. With the Sweet Protection Arbitrator MIPS Helmet you only need one helmet for all your riding adventures thanks to a removable chin bar that converts the helmet from a downhill-certified full face into a lightweight and breathable open face trail helmet.
Whether you're using the helmet in full-face downhill mode or open-face trail mode, the Arbitrator MIPS uses two different retention systems to ensure a proper fit for each. The helmet is well-ventilated with large intake and exhaust ports as well as a Superficial Temporal Artery Cooling Channel that cools the temporal artery without sacrificing protection for your temples. The 4-piece shell is constructed from a mix of carbon fiber and polycarbonate for an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, and features an EPS liner to cushion the force of high- and low-speed impacts. The helmet also features a MIPS rotational impact protection system to mitigate the harmful effects of rotational and shearing forces that can happen in certain types of crashes.

Great Helmet...until something goes wrong
My teenager had this helmet for less than a month when his helmet knocked the ground - not some epic crash. The adjustment knob on the back for tightening it snapped off without him knowing. The rest of the helmet is completely in tact. All I want to do is buy the part and no one can help. Sweet Protection won't discuss it. Motorsport referred it to Backcountry. Backcountry said it's a crash and not covered with any warranty - which is not what I was looking for. Now I have an expensive paperweight. This helmet is not worth it for a small plastic part that renders the entire helmet useless. Too bad because he really liked it.

Had a really bad crash resulting in a broken collarbone and some broken ribs. Basically slammed my face into a berm but the helmet did it's job, saving my head and face from major damage. BackCountry also did a full Crash Replacement which was awesome!
