MET Parachute MCR MIPS Helmet

The magnetic release system is designed to be intuitive and can be operated while the helmet is on your head. It uses a simple twist-and-pull motion, making it easy to transition from full-face to open-face mode once you reach the top of a climb.

Yes, the MET Parachute MCR is ASTM F1952-15/2032-15 certified, which means it meets the safety standards required for downhill mountain biking. You get the protection of a full-face helmet with the flexibility of a convertible design.

The MIPS Brain Protection System is integrated directly into the helmet's retention system, so it doesn't interfere with airflow or add noticeable bulk. It is designed to slide slightly during an impact to reduce rotational forces, and most riders find it imperceptible while riding.

Yes, the visor is fully adjustable. You can tilt it upward to create enough space to park your goggles on the helmet when you aren't wearing them, or to clear your field of vision during steep descents.

The interior padding is fully removable and machine washable. It is held in place with secure clips and snaps, making it straightforward to take out, wash, and reinstall after a long day on the trails.

Because it is a convertible design, the ventilation is excellent when the chinbar is removed, comparable to many dedicated trail helmets. Even with the chinbar attached, the large vents are positioned to maximize airflow, keeping you cool during high-exertion climbs.
