Parachute is the trailblazer for a new category of helmets purpose-built for Enduro mountain biking. It combines the protection of a full face helmet with low weight, high ventilation and comfort. Riders 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 the Parachute is ASTM certified gives the confidence to the rider that MET has designed and certified the Parachute to provide the best level of safety in its class. Lightweight comfort The Parachute is the ideal helmet for Enduro racing: weighing in at just 700g (Size M), it is extremely light and well ventilated making it comfortable to wear on climbs and safe on descents. A chin guard that does not restrict breathing The Parachute's non-removable chin guard is integrated into the helmet. Thanks to its construction it is 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. Adjustable visor with integrated air intake The visor’s role is to protect the face especially the eyes from branches and the sun, or against mud. Fine tune your field of vision by adjusting the anodized aluminum side screws. The visor can easily be adjusted to provide plenty of space to stow your goggles. Keep your goggles secure The Parachute is goggle compatible; a clip system on the back of the helmet keeps your goggle strap in place. MOPOV multi-brand compatible camera mount MOPOV (My Own Point Of View) is a multi-brand compatible camera mount system that our engineers developed to securely mount an action camera onto the helmet without damaging the helmet's shell. Safe-T Advanced Fit System Safe-T Advanced, MET’s top of the line fit system, provides the best weight and comfort ratio. The contact points have a larger cradle surface increasing comfort and are also designed to keep weight low and allow perspiration at the back of the head. Be Seen: The Parachute is compatible with the Safe-T Advanced USB chargeable rear light, available seperately here. The integrated light sensor switches on LEDs automatically in darkness and lowlight conditions and turns the light off when exposed to daylight after a safety period of 15 seconds. Choose between Nightsafe mode and 4 other blinking modes including steady light.

They also offer a replacement at a reduced price if your helmet is damaged in an accident. Find out more about the MET warranty and crash replacement here.
Unrivalled Head Protection From the thrills and speed of flowing singletrack through to the demands of steep, rocky and rooty trails, the Altec Helmet, now with Fidlock magnetic closure, provides reassuring head protection when you lose grip and take a fall. Head protection comes by the way of two impact-absorbing technologies. First, you have a Multi-Density EPS foam construction. This provides shock absorption when there's an impact, dissipating and reducing the impact forces upon your head. Next comes the Smartshock® Rotational Protective System. This system of internal elastomer bumpers helps protect the brain from the rotational forces involved in a crash, letting you dust yourself down and keep riding when it all goes wrong. Go with the (Air) Flow No matter what type of mountain biking you enjoy, you'll soon be generating some heat and sweat. But with a total of 15 large ventilation ports, you'll enjoy a cooling rush of air across your head. Cool air comes in while warm, moist air is directed efficiently out of the exhaust vents. Meanwhile, inside the helmet, the quick-wicking anti-microbial liner keeps you fresh and it's washable too, so no itchy head annoyance after a fun day on the hill. Functionally Fabulous. Fidlock Fixture. When it comes to dialling in the fit the Altec makes it easy. No matter how rough and rowdy the terrain the Adjustable Ratcheting Fitment System ensures you can keep the helmet secure via a simple twist of the rear dial. And with the ease of the Fidlock system, it's a cinch to get your lid on and off. The multi-point, adjustable visor optimises protection and vision while allowing easy stowage of goggles and if you're a rider who prefers sunglasses, the sunglasses storage system is a welcome addition. Whether you're taking in laps of a trail centre or heading out into the wilds, the Altec is your perfect and protective riding companion.

If you're going to be riding hard, tickling the edge of tyre grip on hard turns, pushing jumps further and higher and generally going all-in on your ride, a crash is almost inevitable. It's how you progress after all. And when you do hit the ground, the Tectal MTB Helmet delivers. Take on The Trails with Confidence The construction method is borrowed from POC's groundbreaking Octal road cycling helmet. This sees a tough unibody shell bonded to a shock-absorbing EPS liner. The shell provides durable protection against minor knocks and in the event of a more serious fall enhances structural integrity. An Aramid bridge system, first seen in POC’s proven and award-winning Trabec helmet also allow POC to maintain a low weight and increase vent size while making no compromise to safety performance. At the core of the helmet is the EPS foam liner. This is the layer that soaks up harder head impacts during a fall. The density and thickness vary in order to optimise protection where it's needed most. The design of the Tectal also sees greater coverage specifically tailored for mountain biking. This gives extra protection across the temples and back of the head, so you're covered if you go over the bars or off the back. And if that wasn’t enough, a RECCO® Reflector lets emergency services scan for you should you become lost on a backcountry mountain biking adventure. Cool Comfort When you're riding, you'll soon be building up body heat. And with it, sweat. And so POC have ensured ventilation is optimised. In fact, they've used wind-tunnel testing to get the airflow just right, so whether going fast or slow, you'll enjoy fresh air over your head. 360-degree Fit System In order to keep the Tectal in place, you’ll find POC’s lightweight 360° fit system. This offers an easy-to-operate and precise fit, ensuring your helmet remains comfortable when riding and stays securely in place in the event of a crash.
