MET Parachute MCR MIPS Helmet
Best versatile protection for enduro riders seeking a convertible design.
This is the ultimate two-for-one solution for aggressive trail riders who refuse to compromise on safety. By swapping the chinbar on the fly, you get full-face protection for the descent and open-face breathability for the climb, though you do sacrifice the absolute lightweight feel of a dedicated cross-country lid.
