Every young rider deserves the same level of care, precision, and protection as the pros. That’s the philosophy behind the MET Crackerjack, the most beloved and trusted youth helmet in MET’s lineup. Inspired by adult-level safety standards, this helmet is a showcase of innovation, comfort, and bold design—engineered to empower the next generation of cyclists as they explore trails, ride to school, or cruise the streets with confidence and style.
Grown-Up Safety, Sized for Kids
Just because it's built for youth doesn’t mean it compromises on protection. The Crackerjack features an in-mould polycarbonate shell paired with a high-density EPS liner, forming a unified structure that offers robust impact absorption without unnecessary bulk. Developed using the same advanced protocols MET applies to their adult helmets, this design ensures kids get top-tier protection from every angle.
The extended coverage design adds an extra layer of defense around the back of the head—especially important for young, developing riders still honing their skills.
Precision Fit, Every Time
Comfort is key for long rides and everyday use, which is why the Crackerjack is equipped with the Safe-T E-Twist Fit System. This easy-to-use dial adjustment ensures a secure, tailored fit as your child grows, helping maintain helmet stability and maximizing safety.
Add in the adjustable cam divider, and the Crackerjack easily adapts to different head shapes and hairstyles—including ponytails—without compromising comfort or coverage.
Features That Protect and Impress
Young riders not only want to feel safe—they want to look cool doing it. With its sleek contours, dynamic color options, and removable visor, the Crackerjack balances performance with style. Whether they’re heading out on a family ride or leading a neighborhood adventure, kids will love wearing it.
Additional features include a built-in anti-insect net molded into the front vents to keep bugs out, and hand-washable comfort pads for freshness and hygiene.
Be Seen, Be Safe
Visibility matters, especially for kids riding in the early morning, late afternoon, or in urban environments. That’s why the Crackerjack integrates reflective rear stickers and a high-visibility rear LED light directly into the retention dial. With a simple press, the light enhances safety, making young riders more noticeable to traffic from behind in low-light conditions.
