Good spot that @PowderAdict but I think that's more a generic picture supplied by sweet protection to suppliers. As the same sticker appears on the sportspursuit page for the same helmet in the same colour combo, or maybe sportspursuit is offloading sample helmets which i don't think they would.

Nice find. Any ideas which is best for freeride? switcher vs igniter vs trooper? The trooper is more than 600g that quite a lot of weight!
Also, white or black?, for orange jacket with black elements (TNF A-CAD) and orange pants

Black Trooper. It’s their freeride helmet. Very comfortable with great protection. Unless you’re planning on touring with it wouldn’t worry about the weight

Thank you!
Ive ordered all 3 models, lets see how they fit.
Regarding weight, when doing MTB, Im wearing full face helmet, they are usually more than 700g, getting used to that.
I guess the white helmet works best with blue colour.

@ed48, Can't comment re colour but its a great helmet!

Bought one this morning but the sizes for the most popular items are now quite limited. I need an XL and that size appears to be running out very quickly.

SportPursuit are selling Sweet helmets, amazing prices, buying a helmet online is tricky, I already had a Sweet helmet so it was easy for me.
Here’s a link you don’t have to use it , I do benefit if you do, https://www.sportpursuit.com/join/C940FD19A77BDC |
I can't see the sweet protection helmets when logging in from Austria. Can see other makes though - POC, Smiths, Dare2B etc
Wonder if this offer is only for certain markets (e.g. UK).
Can anyone else outside the UK see the sweet protection helmets?

Maybe I can't see for looking but ...
I've looked all over the site. Can't find a search option or "sweet protection" under helmet, as a supplier or in the exclusive offers. My version is in german and I don't have a UK address.

Thanks. Was going mad here, felt like banging me 'ead against the wall.
Anyone tried their touring helmets?
Blister didn't seem that impressed saying "worth a look"

@radar, Thanks for spotting the sale. My helmets arrived this morning, and the larger one (that I almost didn't order) fits the best. The other one is away back already. I hate to think how old my other one is, I'm sure it should have been replaced years ago!
The magnetic catch is different from anything I've seen before, it'll be interesting to see how it works on the slopes.

@Tom Doc, you’re welcome just couldn’t believe the price and was thinking to replace anyway, Mrs Radar has a magnetic catch on her Smith one and really likes it.

Arrived today, the best fit I've had so far!

Well Royal Mail are claiming to have delivered mine but it ain't here, nor is it any of the obvious places they might leave a package

I've had mine for a couple of season now and its takes a little getting used to but once your fingers learn how to do it its much easier than the usual clips.
My new Gloss White Igniter II arrived today and first impressions are its a teeny bit tighter fore and aft than my other one. Not only am I in the large bonce category its also quite egg shaped so will need to put some of the fit pads in the sides - as I had to do with the first one. Not sending it back though as its not uncomfortable and will likely ease with wear. Perhaps also not helped by the desperate need for a haircut compared to my usual marine corps special!
I bought a pair of the Interstellar goggles at the end of last season and as they are the black frame and strap they look much better on the new one than they do on the old two tone blue one.
I really shouldn't but I wouldn't bet my pocket change against the new one being taken on the next holiday!

Darn that Sportpursuit.....had weaned myself off if for last couple of years but buoyed by the success of the Trooper earlier in the week, went and pulled the trigger on a Garmin Fenix 5S Last night after a glass of wine, but still 40% off RRP felt it was rude not to

Hopefully we will all get to show of our new helmets next season!
I haven’t bought much this season as there is only so much walking/ski gear you can accommodate!

That's an easy beginner's mistake to make - you should look in all the places that they obviously won't leave a parcel.

@Markymark29, I think I'm a candidate for a Sportpursuit related intervention. I've spent a fortune on several skiing related 'bargains' over the last few months. I console myself with the thought that they're all going to be used. Probably.

No bought anything until the helmet since the goggles last year and that was only because I managed to put a deep scratch on my existing goggles smack in front of the left eye. Probably need a new jacket and salopettes next but swithering as to whether to go back to a shell with layers or renew the insulated Spyder stuff I've had for about 7 seasons now.
