MET Allroad

The MET Allroad is a relative newcomer to the Dutch helmet market, but it suits a rider type that's gaining ground in 2026 remarkably well: the trekking and gravel rider who hits an LF-route along the IJssel on Saturdays and commutes on the same trekking bike midweek. Where the ABUS Urban-I 3.0 targets pure urban commuting and the Lumos Ultra goes all-in on electronics, the Allroad fills a distinct gap: a MIPS helmet with enough ventilation for long rides plus a visor for variable Dutch weather. The visor itself is removable and easy to adjust — handy when you emerge from a tunnel straight into a low orange November sun. The rear goggle strap is a thoughtful detail for riders using cycling or sports eyewear: no friction points, no slipping bands.

On protection you get MIPS and CE EN 1078; NTA 8776 is missing, so speed pedelec riders must turn to the Casco Roadster. At 300 g the Allroad sits pleasantly light — lighter than the ABUS Hyban 2.0 and notably lighter than the Lumos Street. The 18 vents work well on warm July days, though you pay for that in winter: on cold February mornings a thin cycling cap is no luxury.

For visibility in Dutch winter darkness you miss an integrated LED; plan on a clip-on rear light on the bike. Folding into an NS locker isn't an option — the Closca Loop handles that role. For trekkers, gravel riders and multifunctional commuters who don't only ride city streets, the Allroad is among the sharpest-priced MIPS helmets under 90 euros.
