M-216™ Backcountry Ski SAR Helmet

Product Description

The M-216^™ Backcountry Ski Search & Rescue helmet features a hybrid shell design; the ABS hard front shell provides reinforcement for mounted accessories, and an in-mold PC rear shell reduces weight. The helmet includes:

A glass-reinforced polycarbonate shroud for attaching headlamps and cameras.
A customized BOA^® Fit System guarantees a precise fit adjustment with single-handed quick release.
Accessory rails allow for mounting a variety of lights and cameras.
Removable ear cups specifically designed to be comfortable while using in-ear communication systems with a pocket for drop-in audio device compatibility.
14 total vents: Eight crown (adjustable), two front (passive open), four rear (fixed open) for maximum cooling during high exertion rescues.
Eight adjustable crown vents with three positions (open, half open and closed) to accommodate both warm and cold conditions.
Above-goggle vent channels draw air through the helmet to the rear exhaust ports to reduce goggle fogging.
Integrated goggle strap retention.

The M-216^™ Backcountry Ski SAR also comes standard with your choice of a Princeton Tec^® Switch MPLS or Switch Rail task light that will mount directly onto the front section of the helmet rail.
