MET Crossover Helmet

I was skeptical about this helmet since I've never heard of this company. The helmet is lightweight with several amenities. It has mesh webbing for the front holes to prevent insects from flying in (a real problem during the summer). The rear adjuster has a LED light that can stay on constantly, or flash like the Formula 1 red light in the rain, or be turned off. I haven't figured out how to change its battery yet but I'm sure it pops out somehow. The strap and fit is very snug. I found that it offers a much better fit than my Protec or Giro helmets. When properly adjusted, it feels like part of my head instead of something that is sitting atop my head for the ride. Overall: 5/5 stars, lightweight, snug fit

Bought it for my kids but "borrowed" it until I purchased my own helmet. I wore it for 2 months of everyday riding and found it to be very comfortable. UNI fit my head which I measured at 55-56 cm. Sizing for the crossover is odd as MET usually gives sizes as S M L XL and UNI is a different. I found that I had a little wiggle room left in case I wanted to add a toque for winter riding but I did not actually try it. Helmet is stylish and well built. The strap system and interior harness kept the helmet in a comfortable position. This line has removable pads for washing unlike other MET helmets which have gel pads which appears to be an upgrade ie Velemon which also has Kevlar straps (whatever that means). During summer rides I did not find the helmet hot suggesting ventilation is adequate. Light at back is functional but no instructions how to replace battery. There is a screw on it which likely provides access and I will deal with battery replacement or upgrade when it is needed. I like the helmet very much and purchased a MET 20 miles for myself as it provided more robust protection at the back of my neck. Follow Amazon pricing that jumps around a lot and the helmet is a solid buy and I would recommend it at the right price.b I do not know if the helmet has metal strand reinforcement inside it but perhaps I will cut it in half when it is no longer functional. Will not happen for a long time I suspect.

This fits our 9yo boy's head and adjusts up to his father's head equally well. We like the light on the back. Steady red or flashing. We have a variety of helmets in our 5 person house ranging from $20-$100 (Giro, Bell, Specialized...). This helmet seems appropriately priced for construction and quality. Plus, other than the Tater Tot helmet we had for my son as a toddler, none of our other helmets have come with the back-of-head light. Overall, pleased, though still deciding who will get it permanently.
