MET Vanguard Core Mips

The Vanguard Core MIPS from MET is a versatile unisex helmet that’s ideal for cycling, mountain biking, and rock climbing. This helmet offers comprehensive protection not only through its in-mold polycarbonate shell with an EPS liner and integrated rigid chin strap, but also through the MIPS C2® rotational management system, which provides additional protection in certain types of impacts. Certified to ASTM 1952-15/2032-15 and NTA 8776, it meets strict safety standards and offers enhanced safety for downhill racers and S-pedelec riders.
Particularly noteworthy is the unique design of the cheek pads, which allows for maximum ventilation without blocking the ventilation openings in the chin strap. The pads are customizable to make it easy to put the helmet on. The breathable chin guard with a removable mud grill ensures that warm air can easily escape during strenuous climbs, while also protecting against mud.
The Vanguard Core Mips is equipped with a Safe-T Heta adjustment system that ensures a stable and balanced fit. With 24 ventilation ports and an internal airflow system, the helmet offers excellent ventilation and comfort. The flexible Breakaway visor prevents the neck from twisting during impacts from any angle and is designed to be both protective and stylish. The helmet is equipped with a Fidlock® magnetic closure that makes it easy to put on and take off, and comes with a padded carrying bag.

Construction:
In-mold polycarbonate shell with EPS inner shell
ASTM F1952:
The ASTM F1952 standard for downhill racing helmets is significantly more stringent than traditional standards for bicycle helmets and is the only standardized test that evaluates the safety of the chin guard. The Vanguard exceeds the ASTM limits for deflection by 40%. An ASTM-certified helmet offers significantly more protective coverage and is tested at higher impact speeds and energies.
NTA 8776:
The NTA 8776 standard is the only safety standard specifically developed for S-pedelecs. NTA certification demonstrates that the Bluegrass Vanguard can absorb significantly more impact energy. The shell also has a larger tested protection area around the two most vulnerable areas of the head: the neck and the temples.
Five stars for safety:
All of our products are developed and tested in collaboration with professional female riders from around the world. The Vanguard Core is a full-face helmet with an extremely comfortable fit and a lightweight design that was innovatively engineered to exceed rotational impact test standards such as the MIPS and Virginia Tech protocols.
UNIQUE CHEEK PAD DESIGN:
Our unique cheek pad design ensures maximum ventilation thanks to its C-shape, as it does not block the ventilation openings in the chin strap. The cheek pads are designed to make it easier to put on the helmet and can be positioned to fit each individual.
chin bar:
With its chin strap, the Vanguard is designed for breathability and safety—and exceeds both goals. Warm air escapes easily through the central vent, so you can breathe easily even on the steepest climbs. The removable mudguard attaches easily to the chin guard and protects you from splashes on muddy days.
SAFETY RELEASE AND FLEXIBLE VISOR:
The visor is integrated into the shell of MTB helmets and must be carefully designed to be protective, stylish, and safe. The Vanguard Core features a flexible breakaway visor that prevents the neck from twisting during impacts from any angle.
CUSTOMIZATION SYSTEM:
When things get intense, you know that a sturdy helmet provides greater safety, more comfort, and better all-around visibility. Thanks to our Safe-T Heta adjustment system, the Vanguard Core sits exceptionally balanced and stable on your head, is comfortable to wear, and allows for a perfect fit with any pair of glasses.
Lightweight Enduro Helmet:
Lightweight without compromise. The Vanguard Core exceeds multiple safety standards, all while weighing just 725 g in the medium size.
VENTILATION:
Thanks to its 24 ventilation openings and wide internal air channels, the Vanguard Core allows air to flow freely from the intake openings to the exhaust openings, whether you're riding fast or slow
