The Vanguard Core gives you coverage around the head and chin for enduro and MTB rides. A polycarbonate shell surrounds the EPS liner, which is designed to absorb impact energy.

MIPS is designed to help manage rotational motion in certain angled impacts. The magnetic Fidlock buckle makes it easier to fasten the strap under your chin.

Twenty-four vents and internal airflow channels help heat escape on climbs and descents. C-shaped cheek pads leave space for airflow around your face. Two pad thicknesses and two fitting positions let you refine the contact around your cheeks.

Use the Safe-T Heta system to adjust the fit. The wide opening accommodates goggles or sunglasses; try them with the helmet to check that your particular combination works well.

A vent in the chin guard lets warm air out near your mouth, and the removable mud grille helps keep splashes out. The helmet received 4 stars in Virginia Tech Helmet Lab’s bicycle helmet rating.

The flexible visor has a safety-release system. After riding, hand wash the comfort padding and use the included Bluegrass bag for carrying or storing the helmet.
