Take 50% Off the $320 Sweet Protection Trooper 2Vi MIPS Helmet

If you’ve ever balked at dropping $300-plus on a ski helmet, we get it—it’s a tough pill to swallow, even for a piece of gear that matters as much as this one. But off-season is the time when you can splurge guilt-free. Right now, the Sweet Protection Trooper 2Vi MIPS is down to $160 from $320, which puts a top-tier, safety-first helmet in the same price range as many mid-tier or even budget options. In other words: instead of settling, you can upgrade.

Sweet Protection Trooper 2Vi MIPS Helmet

The Trooper 2Vi pairs MIPS—still the benchmark for rotational impact protection—with a multi-density liner and a carbon-reinforced shell that’s designed to absorb serious hits without adding bulk. The result is a helmet that feels low-profile but delivers high-end protection. It’s also backed by a 4-star rating from Virginia Tech, one of the most trusted independent helmet-testing labs. Beyond safety, this is a helmet you’ll actually want to wear all day. The fit is highly adjustable, the vents are easy to open and close for quick temperature control, and the magnetic chin buckle makes transitions painless—even with gloves on.
