Sweet have been around for a fair few years now mainly producing snowboarding and paddling kit but they have now brought out there own mtb range which looks pretty cool. I have used them for paddling for years and there helmets are among the best out there.

Best Helmets on the market protection wise apparently... Something to do with MIPS
cheep too .only 300 quid for an open face helmet !! anyone know a good mortage broker !! 😮
I'll stick to my 661 lids thanks - at 1/6 of the cost...
gotta love the pricing.
bit like howies - one for the sales only methinks.
We should expect more snow companies to follow. POC have done well by entering the market with obscene prices and an "awesome reputation"*.
* Note - POC made up this "awesome reputation" themselves in all their marketing bumf... and the MTB world lapped it all up in much the same as we did all the fantastic crossover stuff from MotoX over the years.
A 350E helmet... WTF?
As a ex kayaker I've always thought of them as overpriced fashion over function. There were much better helmets out there for much less money. They did some good helmets (like the rocker) but the strutter was purely fashion.
A company like WRSI entering the biking market would be more interesting.
Still, they will probably be a success if they get the marketing right. If you pay more it has to be safer, right.
What was that brand called with the funny yellow ninja turtle pads?
A particularly garish brand of expensive by the looks of it..
"finally a helmet to match your $4000 full susser"
Errr what $4000 full susser?
strutter was purely fashion.
Are you surprised with a name like the "strutter"? Wonder if they'll do a Mincer for mtb? 😉
I'm like a fly to a lightbulb with that website... I keep going back to see if the products are really that bland and un-innovative... all I see is "lifestyle" branding of stuff we can buy from elsewhere, most of which is better suited to strutting around an alpine resort than being used on the trails... like snowboard gear then 🙄
Is it really not possible for companies to come up with something original to join the MTB party with?
Dirt jump lid - same as everyone else.
Full face Dh helmet - same as everyone else.
Knee/Elbow/Body armour - same as everyone else.
Lifestyle cut jackets - same as everyone else.
Jerseys - same as everyone else.
Shorts - same as everyone else.
The only vaguely original is that carbon Enduro/AM lid... and even that looks like the Urge Enduro lid made to be super expensive out of carbon to match your $4000 bike.

The "Poser"?
£299 for a p!ss pot with a peak nailed to it - Proper mental! Good luck selling any of those especially when there's only a single side view of any of them.
but the strutter was purely fashion.
waves. i like my strutter thanks..
OP you never came back on the "is my frame about to die" thread - can we presume the "crack" was a frame-protector?
waves. i like my strutter thanks..
Says the man that lapped up the POC 😉
:love:
