Review: MET Parachute MCR & Bluegrass SOLID D3O Pads

LONG TERM REVIEW! We tested the new MET Parachute MCR convertible full face helmet (2 HELMETS IN ONE!) for over a year, along with Bluegrass Eagle's SOLID D3O collection of mountain bike protection pads.

We took this gear on the journey of a lifetime: from Weekend Warrior to racing an Enduro World Series at the top level of the sport and... this kit is up to the task!

Just how easy is it to install and remove the chinbar?
Do the Bluegrass Knee Pads rub?
Is a zip-up knee pad actually a good idea?

We cover the full tech here, giving an open and honest account of the quality, wearability, versatility and durability of this top-level MTB protection!
