Product Description

The M-216™ Backcountry 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 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.
