The Igniter II is Sweet Protections lightest and most ventilated freeride helmet. It is a versatile performance helmet using the ABS superlight shell technology and the unique Impact Shields liner for optimal protection performance. This model is equipped with MIPS, a technology that reduces rotational forces on the brain. The helmet is updated with the Performance interior making it easier to fasten and adjust. The helmet is Audio Ready, and Sweet Protections Audio Chips can be bought as additional gear. ABS Thermoplastic Shell (ABS)The injection molded ABS Thermoplastic Shell is very impact resistant through its special rubber toughened construction.
