Product Information
Full details
The MET Parachute MCR MIPS Helmet is designed for adult enduro and e-MTB riders who demand versatility without compromising on safety. Its standout benefit is the patented Magnetic Chinbar Release (MCR) system, which allows you to switch seamlessly between a full-face helmet for technical descents and an open-face helmet for climbs or casual trail riding. While it offers unparalleled convenience and dual-certification, riders should note that the magnetic attachment requires a brief learning curve to master the alignment quickly during transitions.

FAQs
Is this helmet ASTM certified?
Yes, it meets both ASTM F1952-15 and ASTM F2032-15 standards.
Can I wear goggles with this helmet?
Yes, the open visor design is specifically engineered to accommodate most mountain bike goggles.
Does it come with different cheek pad sizes?
Yes, the helmet usually includes two sizes of cheek pads to help you fine-tune the fit of the chinbar.
Is the chinbar secure enough for racing?
It is certified for enduro racing; however, check with your specific event organizers if they require a fixed-shell full-face helmet.
How do I wash the interior pads?
The interior padding is removable and can be hand-washed or placed in a delicate cycle in the washing machine; always air dry.
Troubleshooting
Chinbar feels loose when attached
Ensure the magnetic ports are completely free of dirt or grit. Re-align and listen for the positive 'click' to ensure it is locked.
BOA dial is not tightening
Check the rear cables for obstructions. If the dial remains stuck, ensure it is fully pressed in before turning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal safety, verify that the `BOA Fit System` is adjusted snugly before your first ride. To use the MCR system, align the magnets on the chinbar with the corresponding ports on the helmet shell; you will hear a distinct click when the magnets lock. For maintenance, clean the helmet shell with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the foam. The pads are removable and machine washable; it is recommended to air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Periodically check that the MCR locking mechanism is free of trail debris to ensure a secure connection.
