Go to Photo Gallery
The helmet Forte is one of the new 2010 Met. It's cover is made with the now-common technique in molding and reflective tape on the back to improve visibility passive. The internal padding are removable and sinks, as well as being anti-allergic. While adjusting occipital helmet allows a perfect adjustment of size. The buckle side is lockable. Large are openings in the helmet to allow good ventilation, and will be only one size 52-59 cm. Among the special mention are three-year warranty. Eight graphics are available. Met declared weight is 250 grams, while we detected 245 grams.
The road test
The helmet Met Forte is well made, well-made cap with a gloss paint and resistors, cared for, but without excelling interior, excellent resolution of reflective strips to improve visibility in low light conditions and still good strap, soft contact with the face. The adjustment of the helmet is effective only limit is the only size available, which penalizes a bit who has a small head, because you want the shell is more compact and adherent to the head. The control system, if not immediate and awkward to adjust in the saddle, is effective and can be adapted perfectly to the helmet's head. This allows the helmet securely in all conditions of use. The actual weight of the helmet is exactly halfway between the helmet very light and heavy ones, can be considered a happy medium, although for some, may still be high. The shape of the helmet, however, is constructed to fully protect the head and the padding to ensure maximum comfort, is the right thickness, and this prevents descend with the weight. Moving you appreciate good ventilation of the helmet, which allows an efficient evaporation of sweat, comfortable interior and strap soft to the touch. This means that even after several hours riding helmets do not mind. Finally a good product. Not down to detail records, or other interior trim weight, but it is a good helmet, just because it has a real defect. One of these could be the network anti insects, the helmet bag and the throat strap not present, but the final price reflects these two aspects. The price, set at 75 Euros is good and commensurate with the performance of the helmet, its build quality and lack of certain equipment, not essential.
