Product Information

Full details

The MET Shelter MIPS Helmet is designed for adult trail riders who prioritize safety, ventilation, and a secure fit during rugged rides. It leverages MIPS rotational impact technology and extended rear head coverage to provide advanced protection for critical zones while maintaining a lightweight feel. While it offers excellent trail-ready features and integrated comfort, users should note that its aesthetic is specifically optimized for off-road mountain biking, which may be more bulky than streamlined road-specific helmets.

FAQs

What does MIPS stand for?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, a technology designed to reduce rotational energy transferred to the head during an impact.

Is the visor removable?

The visor is designed as an integrated part of the helmet shell for structural integrity and should not be removed.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows. Use this measurement to select from the Small (52-56cm), Medium (56-58cm), or Large (58-61cm) options.

Can I mount any light to the rear?

The rear clip is specifically designed for MET-compatible USB LED lights.

When should I replace the helmet?

You should replace your helmet if it has been involved in a significant impact, or at least every 3-5 years due to natural material degradation.

Troubleshooting

The fit dial feels loose or fails to tighten

Check the rear dial mechanism for debris or trail grit; gently clean with a soft brush or compressed air.

Helmet shifting during rides

Ensure the side strap adjusters are locked in the correct position and that the 360-degree belt is tightened snugly around the circumference of the head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the optimal fit, loosen the rear 360° dial completely before placing the helmet on your head. Once positioned, tighten the dial until the helmet is snug but comfortable, ensuring the helmet sits level on your forehead. Periodically inspect the internal EPS liner for any signs of damage or cracks. To clean the helmet, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or solvents, which can degrade the protective materials of the shell. When storing, keep the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can weaken the polycarbonate shell over time. The sunglasses ports are compatible with most standard cycling eyewear frames, though it is recommended to test the fit before heading out.
