Sweet Protection Trooper 2Vi SL Mips Helmet x Henrik Kristoffersen

Sweet Protection's Trooper 2Vi SL Mips Helmet is a slalom race helmet — a carbon race shell that arrives with a steel chin guard in the box, Mips rotational protection inside, and EN 1077 Class B plus ASTM F2040 certification (Sweet lists no FIS RH number for it).

Underneath, the shell uses Sweet's 2Vi construction: a variable-thickness mono-shell in TLC (Thermoplastic Laminated Carbon Fiber) that Sweet engineers together with the shock-absorbing liner and the 2-Layer Mips low-friction layer, so the three parts manage an angled hit as one unit. The chin guard is powder-coated steel, mounts to the shell for slalom gate contact, and lifts off in seconds — so the lid doubles as a training or free-ski helmet. A lighter TA2 titanium guard is offered on its own.

The fit hardware is race-grade: an OcciGrip occipital dial you turn to tighten, with a separate height setting, plus a Fidlock magnetic buckle that clicks shut in gloves. Ventilation is adjustable, an internal goggle garage holds your lens, and the ear pads are soft and removable, not the fixed hard-ear cups a speed helmet requires. Whole-helmet weight is about 700g (Sweet gives no size basis), so this is race kit rather than a featherweight resort lid.

Giant slalom, super-G and downhill all need a hard-ear, FIS-homologated helmet instead, which in Sweet's line is the Volata 2Vi Mips Race; anyone whose federation demands a documented FIS RH number should confirm it first. We stock two athlete team-edition graphics, x HK and x Timon, over the same helmet, and we'll help you size it and set up the chin guard before you order.
