Fresh Goods Sunday - Met Inferno UL Helmet

I have used Met helmets for many years and have always been excellent value for money. The construction on the higher end models has always been very good and never had one fail. The straps and rear tension system have never gone wrong and are easy to adjust. The old cloth/foam pads used to eventually rot and drop to pieces but the new gel pads are spot on. The helmet has plenty ventilation and you can get a thin skull cap underneath. The feel on my head is comfortable with no movement. I have used several different road and mtb models over the past 25+ years. The designs change slightly over the years along with colours but thats about it. I always find it best to try helmets on in a shop as the same manufacturer may feel different on your head between different models. Met normally comes in two sizes, i am always the large!

Over and above its elegant design, the Inferno is especially light and well ventilated thanks to the use of Ultimate fibre strengtheners which are exclusive to MET. With their top of the range retention system, the Safe-T Advanced, the Inferno is equipped to a very high standard.

  

Safe-t ADVANCED: Met's top of the range retention system provides the best weight and comfort ratio. 25% lighter than the Safe T Smart, the Safe T Advanced is welded which helps to reduce the weight. The contact points have increased comfort with a larger cradle surface area which is also designed to aid ventilation at the back of the head. The micro adjust dial offers very precise movements with 2mm per click for horizontal adjustment. The vertical adjustment offers 4 steps for the perfect fit. As standard on all of our helmets, the retention features a full 360 degrees retention ring which fits around the head bringing unparalleled comfort with a very secure fit.

LATERAL DIVIDERS: positioning them correctly, then blocking them in the chosen position is child’s play.

PADDED CHIN STRAP: extra padding on the chin strap for additional comfort.

COCOON INTERNAL PADDING: larger surface of contact with the head for increased comfort. Anti-allergenic and hand washable.
