MET Kaos Helmet Review

A notable and defining characteristic of this helmet is the Safe-T-X, the double slide retention system offering a wide range of adjustment with an easy mechanism. The dual slide makes finding the perfect fit easy. This system is key to creating the comfort and ease of fitting of this helmet. For women, and some men, another important feature is the back of the helmet doesn't interfere with your pony tail.

The visor is removable, very effective at keeping the sun out of the eyes and didn't impede vision at all. The reflective stickers on the rear of the helmet are a nice addition especially for those times when you have to ride back home at night.

The strap locks are easy to adjust around the ears and the buckle is easy to open and close even with gloves on.


-The MET helmet is very light and fits well. Once the helmet fit was adjusted so that it would not move manually, it sat comfortably and firmly on even the roughest descents.

-I found the coolmax padding in the MET to be less then in other helmets I have tried, but it is comfortable. It is removable so can be washed when needed.

-After riding this helmet in the rain you do feel drops through the big front vent. This would be a good time to wear the headband or light toque.

Reflective sticker at the rear
The reflective sticker placed at the rear of the helmet is illuminated by car headlights and helps to alert drivers behind you of your presence in low light situations.
