Pret Cynic

The MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces during an angled impact. It allows the helmet to slide slightly relative to your head, which helps protect your brain from the damaging energy often associated with ski and snowboard crashes.

Yes, the Fidlock buckle is specifically designed for convenience. It uses magnets to guide the clasp into place automatically, allowing you to secure or release your chin strap quickly without having to remove your gloves or mittens.

The Cynic is audio-ready, meaning the ear covers are designed to accommodate most drop-in audio systems. You can easily remove the standard ear pads to insert your preferred speakers.

The Ripcord360 system allows you to adjust the fit of the helmet around your entire head with a simple dial. It provides a secure, custom feel that prevents the helmet from wobbling while you ride, and it can be adjusted on the fly even while wearing gloves.

Yes, the helmet features HALEO and IONIC+ antimicrobial technology. These treatments inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause odors, helping the liner stay fresh even after long, sweaty days on the mountain.

The Level 1 ventilation system is straightforward and manual. It allows you to open or close the vents to manage airflow, making it a reliable option for riders who prefer a simple, low-profile design over more complex, multi-zone venting systems.
