Sweet Protection was founded in 2000 by a tight-knit group of skiers, snowboarders, paddlers and cyclists in Trysil, a mountain village in Østerdalen, Norway. The brand combines industry-leading innovation with exceptional craftsmanship to create the most advanced helmets, goggles and technical apparel in ski, snowboard, bike and paddle sports. Since their beginnings in skate and whitewater, they have pursued the goal of both ensuring the safety of athletes and inspiring them to push their own boundaries. In recent years they have even found their way onto the heads of top athletes in the Tour de France.
Sweet Protection and Pas Normal Studios now present the Tucker III 2Vi Mips x PNS helmet, bringing together Sweet Protection’s aerodynamic cycling helmet performance platform with Pas Normal Studios’ distinct visual identity.
Based on Sweet Protection’s most advanced road helmet to date, the edition combines race-focused functionality with a clean and understated design approach shaped by contemporary road cycling culture. Designed for high-speed riding, long days on the bike, and competitive efforts alike, the Tucker III 2Vi Mips x PNS helmet reflects the shared mindset of both brands: performance without compromise.
The helmet is part of the PAS Collection and will be available for purchase starting June 11th via sweetprotection.com, Pas Normal Studios stores, and pasnormalstudios.com.
Where Performance meets Design
Developed with the expertise of a Formula 1 aerodynamicist and tested at the highest level of professional cycling, the Tucker III 2 Vi Mips x PNS helmet translates elite performance technology into a refined statement piece. Its sculpted shape and clean lines are not only visually distinctive; every contour is engineered to reduce wind resistance and enhance efficiency at high speeds.
“When we approached the TUCKER III with Sweet Protection, we wanted the color to do quiet work. Moss Grey sits at the intersection of function and restraint – it references the technical color palette of the SS26 PAS collection without shouting it. The result is a helmet that feels like it belongs, whether you’re deep in a kit look or wearing it as a standalone piece,” said Patrick Boje Andreassen, Senior Designer at Pas Normal Studios, in a statement.
Comfort without Compromise
While engineered for speed, the Tucker III 2 Vi Mips x PNS helmet places equal emphasis on comfort and protection. Strategically placed ventilation channels guide airflow through the helmet, keeping riders cool even during intense efforts. A low-profile rear design and four-shell construction create a tailored, close-to-the-head fit, while the 360 Occigrip fit system ensures personalized stability.
At its core, the helmet integrates Sweet Protection’s 2Vi platform and Mips technology — advanced safety systems designed to enhance protection in the event of impact — without adding unnecessary weight or bulk.
In professional road racing, riders often launch breakaways, which are decisive solo efforts where one cyclist accelerates away from the main group in a bold attempt to win. The Tucker III 2 Vi® Mips was specifically shaped to support this aggressive, forward-leaning riding position, helping conserve energy while maintaining maximum speed.

“It bugged us that the existing gear was holding us back.”
