Met crowns the endurist

The Italian helmet manufacturer Met has designed new protection for enduro riders: In the martially named "Parabellum", lightweight meets a sophisticated protection and ventilation concept.

Filming as a priority - the camera can be mounted on the "Parabellum" in just a few simple steps. Adapters are available not only for the popular Gopro cam, but also for other camera manufacturers. The weight of the new helmet is impressive: in size M (54 to 58 centimetres, size L/59 to 52 centimetres is also available), the head protection weighs a remarkably light 230 grams, despite the rear part being pulled far back on the neck and an adjustable visor.

In the event of an impact, the helmet can use the so-called HES system to distribute the impact energy over a larger area via a skeleton-like structure on the inside. This design not only helps to absorb the impact better, but also makes the helmet easier to construct.

With a small head contact area of only around 55 percent, the "Parabellum" aims to offer good ventilation and a cool head for enduro riders.

The "Parabellum" helmet is expected to be available from October 2013 for around CHF 230 from the newly established Met distributor Fuchs-Movesa.
