MET Parachute MCR MIPS Helmet

Yes, the magnetic chinbar release system is designed to be intuitive and quick. While you can technically remove it while the helmet is on, most riders find it easiest to take the helmet off first to ensure the magnetic clips align perfectly when reattaching.

Yes, the Met Parachute MCR is ASTM F1952 certified, which is the standard required for downhill mountain bike racing. This certification ensures the chinbar provides the necessary impact protection for aggressive riding.

The MIPS C2 system is integrated into the helmet to allow the shell to slide relative to the liner during an impact. This multi-directional movement helps reduce the rotational forces transmitted to your brain, which is a critical factor in preventing concussion-level injuries.

With 21 vents, this helmet is engineered for high airflow. While a full-face design will always be warmer than a dedicated open-face helmet, the ventilation channels are effective at keeping air moving across your head during intense efforts.

The Fidlock buckle is incredibly secure and designed to stay locked under tension. The primary advantage is ease of use; it snaps together automatically and can be released with one hand, even while wearing gloves.

The visor is flexible and adjustable, allowing you to tilt it upward to create space for your goggles when you aren't using them. It is designed to accommodate most standard mountain bike goggles without obstruction.
