Met Pac VII helmet review

Met Pac VII helmet
Cycling Weekly Verdict

The basic design of the Pac has not changed in five years, and with a new generation of helmets like the Giro Selector (which admittedly costs £90 more) on the scene, Met needs to do more than add a visor that doesn?t work properly. Contact: www.fisheroutdoor.co.uk

The latest version of Met's TT helmet comes in new colourways (black or white) and includes a removable visor.

It is comfortable, is an efficient teardrop shape (though it leaves earlobes exposed in the wind) and, as Met promises, ventilation via the twin intakes on the front is excellent, but not necessary for a British tester whose events take place early on a Sunday morning.
