May 29, 2019
by MET Helmets  


PRESS RELEASE: MET

It is vitally important that MET design products for our consumers that are innovative, inspiring and safe. Parachute MCR is MET's convertible full-face helmet developed for enduro, all mountain, and e-MTB riding.

At MET we were pioneers of the Convertible Enduro Helmet and the first to bring an ASTM certified Enduro Full-Face on the market. Our new MET Parachute MCR reflects this long-lasting enduro heritage.

Using our patent-pending Magnetic Chinbar Release, the MET Parachute MCR established a new standard for ASTM certified convertible helmets. It's easy to use and packed with all of the safety features including MIPS.

Whether you prefer to go upwards, sideways or downhill the Parachute MCR is developed to let you get more time on trails.

Ride Confident.

MIPS® BRAIN PROTECTION SYSTEM
The MIPS-C2 solution separates the shell and the liner with a thin plastic Low Friction Layer (LFL). This LFL, attached with 4 rubber elastomers, allows the helmet to slide relative to the head in the case of a crash, redirecting damaging rotational motion.

ASTM CERTIFIED
The MET Parachute MCR is ASTM F1952-15 / F2032-15 certified for the shell and the chin bar in order to guarantee perfect safety in both open and full-face mode.

VENTILATION
All MET helmets are known for how ventilated they are. 21 vents and the MET engineered internal air channeling work in synergy with the breathable chinbar to maximize the airflow at low and high speed.
