Sweet Protection Primer MIPS MTB Helmet Review - feat. Breakaway Visor + Occigrip Fit System

Sweet Protection’s new Primer MIPS helmet sits in the middle of their MTB lineup as a budget friendly option. The helmet features improved fit and safety features to let you push your limits without breaking the bank. Retailing for $150, the Primer MIPS features a MIPS Evolve liner as well as the brand’s updated 360 Occigrip fit system. Designed for mountain biking, the Primer MIPS helmet has a deep fit with additional protection on the rear and a removable visor to provide protection from the elements. The helmet also features 13 vents to allow air to flow through it and a height adjustable rear cradle that is ponytail compatible. Visually, the Primer helmet takes Sweet Protection’s signature helmet design of rectangular vents and combines it with MTB specific features. The helmet has a deep profile with extended rear for additional protection in crashes along with a removable front visor to keep the sun out of riders eyes. Sweet Protection currently offers the helmet in six different matte colors from standard black and white to more creatively named colors like Panther, Tusk and Woodland.

While it may not be everyone’s favorite, we are happy to see Sweet Protection offer such a wide variety of color schemes. The helmet has a solid color scheme with color matched visor and a fully finished rim which gives it a premium look and feel. Branding is limited to Sweet Protection on the sides, the ubiquitous MIPS logo and a Primer round sticker on the right side. As with other Sweet Protection helmets, there are inset Sweet Protection badges on the front and rear which give the helmet a distinctive appearance. One of the most obvious features of the helmet is the front visor which can be moved between three positions. Even in the lowest position, the visor is still out of the way and doesn’t block your field of view. The visor has a break-away design and uses simple push pins to hold each side in place which can easily pop under the force of an impact. With the visor removed, the helmet has a cleaner look and mimics the Sweet Protection Fluxer and Falconer road cycling helmets... ...
