DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Maximum protection
The Vandal Pro's ABS outer shell is built to withstand heavy impacts. Inside, its EPP (expanded polypropylene) foam provides optimal shock absorption while being extremely lightweight. Unlike the EVA foam used on entry-level models, EPP doesn't absorb water, so the helmet stays light even after hours on the water.
Unique 360° fit
The 360° dial fit system is a signature feature of the Vandal Pro. Unlike standard helmets that only tighten at the back, the 360° dial spreads pressure evenly around your entire head. The result is a stable, comfortable fit with no pressure points, whatever your head shape. A quick turn of the dial lets you fine-tune the fit with precision.
Magnetic Fidlock buckle
Forget standard buckles that are fiddly to use with cold or wet fingers. The Fidlock buckle uses a magnetic system that snaps shut and opens just as easily. It's a huge advantage at the end of a long session, when you're tired and cold and every little thing is an effort. The buckle stays securely locked, even during heavy wipeouts.
Dirty Habits edition
The Dirty Habits colorway is a special edition from the collaboration between Mystic and pro rider Dylan Heyden. The design stands out from the standard colorways with a bold look that's guaranteed to get noticed on the water. The Vandal Pro Dirty Habits has all the same technical features of the standard Pro model, but with its own unique graphics. The helmet is compatible with Mystic Earpads (sold separately) for extra warmth and protection in cold conditions.

FAQ, MYSTIC VANDAL PRO DIRTY HABITS
The Vandal Pro Dirty Habits is suitable for all watersports riders, from beginner to expert, across disciplines like kitesurf, wingfoil, wakeboard, SUP, and windsurf. It is CE and UKCA certified.
The Vandal Pro uses a lighter, non-absorbent EPP foam (vs. EVA on the standard), a 360° dial for a full-head fit (vs. 180° rear adjustment), and a Fidlock magnetic closure instead of a classic buckle.
Measure your head circumference across your forehead. XS/S: 53-55 cm, M/L: 56-58 cm, XL/XXL: 59-61 cm. The 360° dial allows you to fine-tune the fit.
Yes, the Vandal Pro is compatible with Mystic Ear Pads, sold separately. They attach easily and protect your ears from cold and impacts.
Rinse the helmet with fresh water after each session. Let it dry in the shade, out of direct sunlight. The EPP foam doesn't absorb water, so it dries very quickly.
