First Look - Met Parabellum Helmet
Check out this great first look at the all new Met Parabellum for 2014 as rocked on the enduro scene by Orange bikes and Dude of Hazzard, Hannah Barnes!
Its large visor on the front characterizes the new Parabellum just as the entanglement of the two shells clearly visible at the rear. It has excellent head coverage for such a feather-weight. Hannah Barnes loves it ;-)
Homothetic Embedded Skeleton
In the event of an impact the pressure on the helmet shell is uneven, however, in reality most of the pressure is concentrated within a limited area.
HES construction, which involves embedding a homothetic skeleton at the back of the helmet, spreads the pressure built up by compression at the impact point, and thus dissipates the force of impact over the whole shell.
This exceptional design and a manufacturing technique, that today only MET has mastered, makes the HES concept a new reference in cycle helmet construction.
Adjustable visor with integrated air intake vents.
The visor’s role is to protect the face and especially the eyes from branches, sun or, in bad weather, against mud flicked up by bikes in front.
When the visor has air vents it actively helps cool the head by directing the air towards the inside of the helmet.
The tilt of the visor can be adjusted by loosening anodised aluminium side screws. This allows you to fine tune your field of view.
Note that at the highest position the visor leaves enough space for your mask strap in 'rest' position.
Gel 02 anti-allergenic front pad
Exclusive technology developed by engineers in our Research and Development laboratory.
Instead of absorbing perspiration it sends it towards the sides of the face. With superior hygiene, a much longer lifespan, a natural capacity to adapt to body shape, its thickness remaining stable over time... the GEL O2 front pad offers so many advantages that it will permanently change your idea of helmet comfort.
Originating from the medical industry, it is hypo-allergenic, anti-bacterial, made from thermo-stabilising polyurethane morpho-gel, and it helps keeps the head really cool, a key factor not only for comfort but also for the cyclist’s performance.
Hand washable.
Safe-T Smart
The Safe-T Smart also includes a vertical adjustment to position precisely where the helmet touches the head.
Thanks to the broader and lighter contact area, the pressure on the head is distributed in a homogenous way for added comfort.

Occipital retention system.
Its role is to ensure that the helmet is held firmly on the head.
A dial at the back of the helmet for easy one-hand size adjustment. The internal mechanism was designed for precision and reliability.
MOPOV video support kit
Exclusive technology developed by engineers in our Research and Development laboratory.
Now anyone can film themselves while riding. And to help you we have designed the MOPOV (My Own Point Of View) kit which allows you to fit your onboard camera onto your helmet in a flash.
Removable kit fitted to the centre of helmet. An Allen key is all you need to fit the kit. Light weight. System suitable for multi-brands.
Nothing remains on the helmet after use. The self-adhesive fitting on your camera fixes to the MOPOV and not to the helmet itself.
Air Lite straps
Exclusive technology developed by engineers in our Research and Development laboratory.
The straps on the new Parabellum are made from a revolutionary technique of weaving polyester fibres which aids sweat evaporation and provides greater tensile strength with less weight.
Air Lite lateral dividers
Air Lite lateral dividers go way beyond their primary function which is to lock the straps into position. Indeed, their ultra-flat design helps reduce aerodynamic drag.
The Parabellum will be available in two sizes, M et L, from November 2013 at the recommended retail price of €160,00 / £140,00.
