MET’s Parachute combines the protection of a full-face helmet with low weight, high ventilation and comfort.ASTM Standard Chin GuardRiders buy a full-face helmet to have more protection to their face, so it’s important to know if the chin guard has been stringently tested and passes the ASTM standard. The fact that this helmet is ASTM certified gives confidence to riders that MET’s Parachute Riding Helmet has been designed and certified to provide the best level of safety in its class.The Parachute’s non-removable chin guard is integrated into the helmet and thanks to its construction; it’s the only chin guard of its kind that exceeds ASTM testing. This technology and highly innovative design create a solid, compact and highly-ventilated chin guard.Lightweight and comfortableThe Parachute is the ideal helmet for Enduro racing: weighing only 700g (med), it’s extremely lightweight and very well ventilated, making this helmet comfortable to wear on climbs and safe on descents.MET’s top of the line fit system is Safe-T Advanced which provides the lightweight Parachute Enduro Helmet with the best weight/comfort ratio possible. The contact points have a larger cradle surface increasing comfort whilst they are also designed to keep the helmet lightweight and allow perspiration at the back of the head. The polyurethane soft padding improves the fitting, thus affording a snug head touch.Other than being lightweight, Enduro helmets need to be breathable and comfortable, that’s why, along with Safe-T Advanced, the Parachute Helmet also features Kevlar Straps and Coolmax internal padding with Dualgel front pad to keep your head cool and actively wick moisture away from the surface of your skin. Dualgel pads also have a longer life than traditional pads and are hypo-allergenic and antibacterial, maintaining a neutral odour.Adjustable Visor and Goggle CompatibleThe visor’s role is to protect the face especially the eyes from branches, the sun and mud. You can fine tune your field of vision by adjusting the anodised aluminium side screws. The visor can easily be adjusted to provide plenty of space to stow your goggles.

Where cycling is a passion for many we often invest a lot of our time and money into the hobby. And as we know, getting the right products can give us that small competitive advantage either over our actual competitors, our mates or even just beating our own goals. But because we do invest so much in our bikes and our equipment it’s really important to buy from recognised retailers, in our most recent search, we found many products available online for ridiculously (almost laughable) prices. They were just so low that alarm bells should instantly be ringing. That’s why we only recommend buying from the retailers that you really know and trust, names like Wiggle, Chain Reaction and Evans Cycles are just some of those that we use regularly. With these retailers you know you’re in safe hands and can expect great service, great returns policies and if anything was to go wrong great customer service under a warranty claim.
