All Arround MTB

Looking more like a 'normal' off-road helmet, the Veleno isn't as well ventilated as the others here, or as light. The cutaway section at the front is also quite severe, resulting in a slightly cooler forehead, but one that also feels more exposed to impacts.

In contrast to its flimsy predecessor of the same name, the new Parachute HES is a fully certified full-face lid, just one that's been on a diet. Crucially, it passes the higher ASTM standard for helmet safety. This puts it in another league to its predecessor or, more to the point, Bell's new Super 2R. At 736g (for our size large sample), it's by far the lightest helmet on the market, which can make this boast.
