The Met Parachute Mcr MIPS MTB Cycling Helmet is built for riders who refuse to compromise on protection when the trail gets technical. Combining extended rear-head coverage with MIPS rotational impact technology and a ventilation system designed for demanding conditions, it addresses the real challenges of mountain biking in India — from Coorg singletrack to Lonavala descents and Himalayan dirt roads near Leh.
Use Cases
Daily training. Ventilated construction for 35°C+ Pune, Hyderabad, and Chennai training rides.
Race day. Aerodynamic profile and certified safety standards for competitive efforts.
Long endurance rides. Comfort-first padding and adjustable retention for full-day rides.
Our Take
For Indian mountain bikers, the Parachute Mcr ticks every critical box. The MIPS liner adds rotational impact protection that standard helmets skip, and the extended rear coverage matters on trail drops where the back of your head is exposed. In the 35°C+ heat of Pune's Sahyadri trails or Hyderabad's dry-season rides, the ventilation system keeps airflow moving without sacrificing structural integrity. This is a serious MTB helmet at a serious price — and worth it.
Sizing for Indian Riders
MET follows European sizing conventions. Measure head circumference at the forehead, just above the eyebrows. Typical sizes: S=51–55cm, M=55–59cm, L=59–63cm. Indian riders often find MET's fit slightly narrow at the temples — try before buying where possible. The adjustable retention system compensates for some variation. Wear the helmet level, one finger above eyebrows, with straps forming a V under each ear.
Compatibility Notes
Certified to international safety standards — confirm EN 1078 or equivalent for Indian regulatory compliance. The integrated MIPS liner is factory-fitted; do not modify. Compatible with MET-compatible goggle systems and standard MTB eyewear. The visor is adjustable; verify clearance with your preferred goggles. Replace immediately after any impact, regardless of visible damage — internal EPS foam deforms on first significant strike.
Pairs Well With
Complete your MTB setup with a quality pair of mountain bike goggles for trail dust and monsoon spray, MTB-specific gloves for grip and abrasion protection, a hydration pack for longer Coorg or Ooty trail rides, and durable MTB shoes for pedalling efficiency on technical terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MET Parachute Mcr MIPS best used for?
The Parachute Mcr MIPS is purpose-built for mountain biking and trail riding. Its extended rear coverage protects the back of the head on technical drops, while the MIPS liner adds rotational impact protection. It suits Indian trail conditions well — from the rocky Sahyadri descents near Pune and Lonavala to forested singletrack in Coorg and Ooty.
How does MET helmet sizing run, and what size should I order?
MET uses European sizing: S = 51–55cm, M = 55–59cm, L = 59–63cm. Measure your head circumference at the forehead with a soft tape. Indian riders with rounder head profiles should note that MET helmets can feel slightly narrow at the temples — the adjustable retention system helps, but an in-store fitting is ideal if available. This listing is stocked in size L.
Will the MET Parachute Mcr MIPS hold up in Indian heat and monsoon conditions?
Yes. The Parachute Mcr's ventilation system is designed for sustained hot-weather riding — relevant for 35°C+ temperatures in Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Chennai summers. For monsoon riding in the Western Ghats, the visor helps deflect rain spray. The shell and liner materials are not adversely affected by humidity, though UV exposure over years will age the foam — replace every five years regardless.
How does the MET Parachute Mcr MIPS compare to a standard road cycling helmet?
Road helmets prioritise aerodynamics and maximum ventilation with minimal coverage. The Parachute Mcr is an MTB helmet — it extends further down the back of the head for trail impact protection, includes a visor for sun and debris, and uses the MIPS liner for rotational safety. It is heavier than a pure road helmet but significantly more protective for off-road and technical riding conditions.
Is the MET Parachute Mcr MIPS worth ₹27,999 in India, and what warranty applies?
At ₹27,999, the Parachute Mcr sits in the premium MTB helmet category — and the MIPS technology, extended coverage, and MET's safety engineering justify the price for regular trail riders. MET provides manufacturer warranty on materials and construction defects. Note that helmet warranty does not cover impact damage — replace after any significant crash. Cobbled Climbs ships from Mumbai with free delivery above ₹2,500 and COD available nationwide.
