As a USA biker I had to buy my older Parachute during a trip to the UK. Love it. It's saved my face multiple times. Wouldn't hold up like a true full face DH lid but its as comfortable and as well ventilated as the newer style enduro helmets But its about 4 years old now. The padding and staps have held up well but the impact shell has a life limit, so time to replace. Glad to see MET has a replacement coming. Sign me up.
Agreed, it's about time someone made a worthy mountain bike helmet. It's not dirt biking. The speeds are much less and breathing and staying cool is far more important. Although I don't think these are suitable for bike park free riding. Over alll Nicely done! A welcome new segment in the helmet industry.
