The MET Parachute Helmet Blue is the trailblazer for a new category of helmets purpose-built for Enduro mountain biking. It combines the protection of a full face helmet with low weight, high ventilation and comfort. Riders buy a full face helmet to have more protection to their face, so it's important to know if the chin guard has been stringently tested and passes the ASTM standard. The fact that the Parachute is ASTM certified gives the confidence to the rider that MET has designed and certified the Parachute to provide the best level of safety in its class.

GIRO SWITCHBLADE MIPS Helmet Matte Black : The Switchblade MIPS is Giro's new ASTM downhill certified full face helmet with a removable chinbar. Everything about the Switchblade is optimized for the descent, and that's why it's certified to CPSC, EN-1078 and ASTM-1952-DH with and without the chinbar. The chinbar is easy to remove—just push the buttons under the chinbar, rotate up, and remove—and it's just as easy to reinstall.
