Sweet Protection’s Rocker shell combines the elasticity of injection molds with the strength of carbon fiber. Tested and tuned on the steeps of Norway, this high-tech shell has stiffer sides and a more elastic crown area, which means superior protection for your bean. A full covering, anti-allergenic liner wicks moisture and ensures comfort. The neckhugging tensioning system keeps everything solidly in place and won’t roll when you’re putting the helmet on. A removable and adjustable shatter-proof visor and ear pads are included.
High Sign: Super comfortable.
Low Sign: Bank breaker.
