When trail demands escalate, and speed blends with rugged terrain, the helmet on your head becomes more than protection—it becomes your command center. The MET Parachute HES is a high-performance MTB full-face helmet engineered for aggressive trail, enduro, and gravity riding, offering a perfect harmony of protection, comfort, and trail-specific functionality.
HES Construction – A New Dimension of Safety
At the heart of the MET Parachute HES lies the Homothetic Embedded Skeleton (HES)—a structural revolution that disperses energy more effectively during impact. Unlike standard shell designs, the HES skeleton integrates into the in-mould polycarbonate shell and the EPS foam, reinforcing critical areas and dramatically increasing the helmet's resistance to multi-directional forces. This innovative construction technique gives you the strength of a full-face helmet while retaining the lightweight agility required for climbing and all-day enduro runs.
Ventilation and Cooling — Engineered Airflow for Demanding Rides
Cooling performance is paramount in the heat of trail battles. Rated 8/10 for cooling, the MET Parachute HES excels in heat management with a thoughtful design that keeps airflow moving efficiently, even at low speeds. With 50% Head Contact Surface (HCS), only half the interior touches your head—creating more room for airflow channels to dissipate heat, reduce sweat buildup, and enhance overall comfort.
Paired with a removable, ventilated visor, the helmet not only shields you from sun and debris but also integrates into the air-channeling system to keep your forehead ventilated—critical on long, hot descents.
Fit That Stays Put — Safe-T Advanced Retention System
Rugged terrain demands an uncompromising fit. The Safe-T Advanced fit system secures the helmet around your head with micrometric precision, ensuring it remains locked in place through big jumps, switchbacks, and rock gardens. Adjust it with one hand even while wearing gloves—the fit dial is that intuitive. This system works harmoniously with the full-face structure to give you confidence-inspiring stability lap after lap.
Comfort Inserts with Gel 02® Technology
Long days in the saddle mean sweat, heat, and friction. The MET Parachute HES addresses this with Gel 02® anti-allergic inserts—cooling, soft, and moisture-wicking padding that enhances comfort while reducing irritation. These inserts resist microbial buildup and are removable and washable, giving you a fresh helmet feel even after back-to-back trail sessions.
Trail-Specific Features Built for Real Riders
Integral in-moulding: Reinforces the EPS liner with a durable polycarbonate outer shell, extending the helmet’s lifespan and impact resistance.
GoPro®-ready mount compatibility: Document your lines, analyze your technique, or share your ride—camera mounting is seamless, secure, and integrated.
Reflective details: Subtle but effective in low-light environments, enhancing rider visibility when twilight catches up on the trail.
