PRESS RELEASE: METAfter the success of the MET Roam which set a new design code for our MTB range, we are pleased to introduce our latest addition for Trail and All-Mountain riders: the
MET Terranova.
Providing an extended coverage, the construction and fit are inspired by the MET Roam, guaranteeing optimal comfort. With a softer design, clever features, and a MIPS version, it is incredible value for money.
EXTENDED COVERAGEThe MET Terranova has increased head coverage compared to a standard mountain bike helmet. It’s designed for technical all-mountain and trail riding.
VENTILATIONThe internal air-channeling of the helmet allows a highly efficient ventilation.
ADJUSTABLE VISORThe visor is tool-free adjustable and flex injected to bend when there is an impact against it. This unique feature helps to manage extra rotational forces transferred to your neck in a crash.
MIPS®We’ve worked closely with MIPS to achieve highly efficient ventilation and at the same time enhance the helmet’s safety features. Featuring the MIPS-C2 brain protection system, the MET Terranova is able to slide relative to the head in the case of a crash, redirecting damaging rotational motion.

MENTIONS: @methelmets
How is the visor coverage compared to the Roam, I have the Roam and find it's too high to stop sun or rain. If this is lower I might be shopping.
The Roam visor is the biggest fault on that helmet, it is only useful as a goggles holder. Im disappointed to say the rest of the time it's a self unscrewing wind brake.
Other Roam features I hope have gone are the squeaky MIPS and self slackening chin straps on rough terrain. This latter point is really annoying on a long decent.
I know I'm not alone with those Roam 'features'.
Love the general fit of the Roam though so would be nice if this new lid is the same but easier to live with.
For the visor of your Roam, try to check the screws of the visor and tighten them if needed. This would hold the visor more securely in place.
Regarding the chin strap, you have two strap keepers: the purpose of the smaller one is to keep the strap from self slackening. You can put this close to the buckle and it should help the strap to stay in place.
Let me know if this helps.
When I checked the rubber bands on the strap tonight they were not near the buckle, I will keep an eye on those.
The visor screws and rubber rings were a problem from day one, the rings both broke in the first week so I replaced them with thicker ones, these were much better. I've always had to tighten them but it's a freaky thing to do on such a tiny thread, anyway, since January I gave up on it on a windy day, I removed it mid ride. Now I just use a roadie style cap under it if it rains, not a cool look but it works.
@n1ck yes but I've stopped noticing it, I had to set the side adjuster relatively low as well. The fit was very different between the MIPS and non MIPS, only the MIPS version fitted me.
I might try an alternative o-ring as you mention for securing the visor better. I just check them tight from time to time. If you don't they will eventually fall out or at least loosen until the visor is constantly moving around. I assume/hope at least this issue was taken care of this time around.
Where does @Riggbeck say that he is o"overall happy with his Roam? That's not at all what I got from his post... But maybe he is?
On the plus side, great to see a non MIPS variant, some padding on the retention cradle, a place to stash sunglasses, and a cheaper price than the roam, MET you my well be on my shopping list yet

And who the f*ck is translating this marketing speak these days? English is quite ubiquitous yes? My Mhong friends were laughing at the terrible english wording in this post.
It's almost like this site just serves to sell things. Hmmmm......
I literally know working girls with higher client standards. I'm out.
