Charles Owens Hyda Sparkly Helmet with Mips®

MIPS stands for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System, which is designed to reduce rotational forces during certain impacts. The technology includes a low-friction layer that allows the helmet to move slightly in relation to your head, providing an additional level of safety beyond standard helmet protection. This makes the Hyda Sparkly a great choice if you're looking for enhanced impact protection while riding.

To find your size, measure around the widest part of your head just above your eyebrows with a soft measuring tape. Charles Owens helmets are typically sized in standard measurements, and we recommend checking the specific size chart before ordering to ensure the best fit. A properly fitting helmet should feel snug but comfortable, with no gaps or pressure points.

Keep your helmet clean by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth after riding—this helps maintain both the sparkly finish and the overall condition. Avoid dropping or impacting your helmet, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials. If your helmet has been involved in a significant impact, it's best to replace it to ensure continued safety protection.
