FAQs
What type of riding is the MET Shelter helmet best suited for?
The MET Shelter is designed for Trail and E-MTB riding, as well as Cross-Country. Its features provide reliable protection and comfort for a wide range of off-road use.
How do I determine the correct size for my helmet?
You can determine the correct size by measuring the circumference of your head. The available sizes are S (52-56cm), M (56-58cm), L (58-61cm), and XL (60-64cm).
Can I attach a helmet camera to this helmet?
The MET Shelter is not specifically designed for helmet camera mounts, and attaching one could compromise the helmet's integrity. It is compatible with the MET Rear USB LED Light.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is present. Over time, materials can degrade from exposure to UV rays, sweat, and general wear.
Is the visor adjustable?
The visor is integrated into the helmet shell for a refined design. Its adjustability is limited compared to some other helmet designs.
How do I clean the helmet padding?
The internal padding can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching it to the helmet.
Does the helmet come with a rear light?
No, the helmet is compatible with the MET Rear USB LED Light, but it is sold separately.
What certifications does this helmet meet?
The MET Shelter helmet meets CE, AZ/NZS, and US safety certifications.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Adjust the Safe-T Sport fit system dial for a tighter fit. Ensure the 360° head belt is correctly positioned and tensioned evenly.
Helmet causes pressure points
Readjust the Safe-T Sport system and check the 360° head belt. Ensure the helmet is the correct size for your head. Try adjusting the strap length.
Ventilation seems insufficient
Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the vents. Clean any dirt or debris that may have accumulated.
Visor is not positioned correctly
The visor is integrated into the design. While it offers a sleek look, its adjustability is limited. Ensure it is seated correctly in its intended position.
