Sweet Protection Trooper 2Vi SL Mips Helmet x Timon Haugan
Pre-order · Ships September 2026
Description
Sweet Protection's Trooper 2Vi SL Mips Helmet x Timon Haugan is a slalom race helmet — a carbon race shell that arrives with a steel chin guard in the box, Mips rotational protection inside, and EN 1077 Class B plus ASTM F2040 certification (Sweet lists no FIS RH number for it).
Underneath, the shell uses Sweet's 2Vi construction: a variable-thickness mono-shell in TLC (Thermoplastic Laminated Carbon Fiber) that Sweet engineers together with the shock-absorbing liner and the 2-Layer Mips low-friction layer, so the three parts manage an angled hit as one unit. The chin guard is powder-coated steel, mounts to the shell for slalom gate contact, and is removable — so the lid doubles as a training or free-ski helmet. A lighter TA2 titanium guard is offered on its own.
The fit hardware is race-grade: an OcciGrip occipital dial you turn to tighten, with a separate height setting, plus a Fidlock magnetic buckle that clicks shut in gloves. Ventilation is adjustable, an internal goggle garage holds your lens, and the ear pads are soft and removable, not the fixed hard-ear cups a speed helmet requires. Whole-helmet weight is about 700g (Sweet gives no size basis), so this is race kit rather than a featherweight resort lid.
Giant slalom, super-G and downhill all need a hard-ear, FIS-homologated helmet instead, which in Sweet's line is the Volata 2Vi Mips Race; anyone whose federation demands a documented FIS RH number should confirm it first. This is Timon Haugan's signature team-edition graphic on the Trooper 2Vi SL race shell — we also stock the x Henrik Kristoffersen edition and the plain version, the identical lid underneath, and we'll help you size it and set up the chin guard before you order.

Sweet Protection Trooper 2Vi SL Mips Helmet x Timon Haugan
Trooper family · 26/27
Technology
2Vi TLC Carbon Mono-Shell
A variable-thickness carbon-laminate mono-shell (TLC — Thermoplastic Laminated Carbon Fiber) engineered as one system with the shock-absorbing liner and Mips. It is a construction platform aimed at impact management without extra bulk, not a safety rating.
2-Layer Mips
A low-friction layer that lets your head move slightly against the shell to help reduce the rotational forces of an angled impact. It is an add-on system that reduces risk — not a certification, and not a guarantee against injury.
Removable Steel Slalom Chin Guard
A powder-coated-steel chin guard included in the box. It protects your face during slalom cross-blocking when you clip gate poles, and it comes off so the same helmet works for training or a free-ski day.
OcciGrip Fit System
A turn-dial occipital cradle with height adjustment that locks the fit on the fly. Independent testing praised it as secure and non-slipping.

With a race helmet the certification defines everything, so start there: the Sweet Protection Trooper 2Vi SL Mips is certified to EN 1077 Class B and ASTM F2040, and Sweet’s official page publishes no FIS RH homologation number for it. That is a neutral fact, not a shortfall. Slalom is run at lower speeds than the speed disciplines, and FIS rules let a slalom helmet use soft, removable ear pads rather than the molded hard-ear covers a speed lid needs. If you race under a federation that requires documented FIS homologation, confirm the current requirement with it before you buy — the official page does not state one.
The Trooper 2Vi SL is the recreational Trooper’s freeride shell adapted for slalom. It keeps the soft removable ear pads and comfortable shape, then adds what a gate course demands: a removable powder-coated-steel chin guard, included in the box, that protects your face during cross-blocking when you clip poles. Take it off and the same helmet works for training or a free-ski day. The shell is Sweet’s 2Vi platform — a variable-thickness TLC carbon mono-shell built as one system with the liner and Mips, aimed at impact management without extra bulk. 2-Layer Mips is a low-friction layer that lets your head move slightly against the shell to help reduce the rotational forces of an angled impact; it is an add-on system, not a certification, and it reduces risk rather than removing it. An OcciGrip turn-dial with height adjustment locks the fit, and a Fidlock magnetic buckle closes with gloves on.
The choice inside Sweet’s race line comes down to your discipline. Race slalom, or want a race lid you can also free-ski, and the Trooper 2Vi SL is the pick: soft-ear, chin guard included, Class B. Race giant slalom or the speed events — super-G and downhill — and the soft ear pads are not permitted; those disciplines need Sweet’s hard-shell Volata 2Vi Mips Race, which is FIS-homologated. Buy by discipline, not by looks. One honest note on weight: at about 700g this is race hardware, and the steel chin guard adds bulk when fitted — it is heavier than an everyday resort helmet, and not what you want for lift-served cruising. This is the Timon Haugan team edition, the Norwegian World Cup slalom specialist’s signature colorway. The helmet underneath is the same Trooper 2Vi SL as the plain version and the x Henrik Kristoffersen edition; the signature graphic is what changes.
Safety — read this
A helmet reduces impact risk; it does not guarantee safety or prevent injury. This helmet is certified to EN 1077 Class B / ASTM F2040. The steel chin guard is there to take gate contact during slalom, not to guarantee against a face injury. Confirm your homologation requirements with your race federation before sanctioned competition.

Best For
Slalom racers and race-program skiers who want a carbon Mips SL helmet with the chin guard included, in Timon Haugan’s signature colorway — and who also want to free-ski it.
Limitations
- −Not FIS-homologated — built for slalom, training and free skiing, not sanctioned speed racing
- −Heavy (~700g) for everyday resort use
- −Steel chin guard adds weight and bulk when fitted
- −Signature graphic costs a little more than the plain non-team SL, same helmet
Not For
Racers who need a FIS-homologated hard-ear helmet for giant slalom, super-G or downhill — look at the Volata 2Vi Mips Race — and anyone who wants the same helmet cheaper and does not need the signature graphic, which is the plain Trooper 2Vi SL.

Common Questions
- Is the Sweet Trooper 2Vi SL x Timon FIS approved?
- Sweet’s official page publishes no FIS RH homologation number for the Trooper 2Vi SL; it is certified to EN 1077 Class B / ASTM F2040. For the FIS speed disciplines look at the Volata 2Vi Mips Race, and confirm the current requirement with your federation before sanctioned racing.
- What is different about the Timon Haugan edition?
- Only the colorway. It is the same Trooper 2Vi SL helmet — same carbon shell, Mips, chin guard and certification — in Timon Haugan’s signature graphic, positioned between the plain SL and the x Henrik Kristoffersen edition in Sweet’s lineup.
- Does it come with a chin guard?
- Yes — a removable powder-coated-steel slalom chin guard is included in the box. A lighter TA2 titanium chin guard is sold separately.
- Can the chin guard be removed?
- Yes. The steel chin guard is removable, so the same helmet works for slalom gates and for training or free skiing without it.
- How much does the Trooper 2Vi SL weigh?
- About 700g for the whole helmet; Sweet does not state a size basis for that figure. That is race hardware, heavier than an everyday resort helmet, and the steel chin guard adds weight when fitted.
