Unrivalled Head Protection From the thrills and speed of flowing singletrack through to the demands of steep, rocky and rooty trails, the Altec Helmet, now with Fidlock magnetic closure, provides reassuring head protection when you lose grip and take a fall. Head protection comes by the way of two impact-absorbing technologies. First, you have a Multi-Density EPS foam construction. This provides shock absorption when there's an impact, dissipating and reducing the impact forces upon your head. Next comes the Smartshock Rotational Protective System. This system of internal elastomer bumpers helps protect the brain from the rotational forces involved in a crash, letting you dust yourself down and keep riding when it all goes wrong. Go with the (Air) Flow No matter what type of mountain biking you enjoy, you'll soon be generating some heat and sweat. But with a total of 15 large ventilation ports, you'll enjoy a cooling rush of air across your head. Cool air comes in while warm, moist air is directed efficiently out of the exhaust vents. Meanwhile, inside the helmet, the quick-wicking anti-microbial liner keeps you fresh and it's washable too, so no itchy head annoyance after a fun day on the hill. Functionally Fabulous. Fidlock Fixture. When it comes to dialling in the fit the Altec makes it easy. No matter how rough and rowdy the terrain the Adjustable Ratcheting Fitment System ensures you can keep the helmet secure via a simple twist of the rear dial. And with the ease of the Fidlock system, it's a cinch to get your lid on and off. The multi-point, adjustable visor optimises protection and vision while allowing easy stowage of goggles and if you're a rider who prefers sunglasses, the sunglasses storage system is a welcome addition. Whether you're taking in laps of a trail centre or heading out into the wilds, the Altec is your perfect and protective riding companion.

My old helmet expired after 4 years, so I figured I'd try something different. I'm glad I got this one. It has a fresh look and fits great. The Smart Shock is nice compared to MIPS because it doesn't pull my precious mullet hairs when I take it off. My wraparounds fit nice on the back, but I'm not sure I'd ride with them there. It feels as nice as a helmet I have that cost twice as much.

For my head at least the helmet is comfy. I’ll occasionally, like every maybe 3rd ride, get a little hot spot from one of the bumpers, but all I have to do is just reach up and bump the helmet a little bit and it goes away. This helmet vents so well though that it doesn’t bother me one bit. I’ve been wearing helmets for years from Troy Lee, and Fox that don’t vent one molecule of hot air off my head and to me that’s brutally uncomfortable. The Altec reminds me of good venting Giro helmets before MIPS liners restricted airflow over your noggin. I got the fidlock version and it’s ok, I never had any problems with plain old buckles so that’s a wash, but something else I do like is the visor, it’s just my personal preference but it’s just the right length and width to ... MoreFor my head at least the helmet is comfy.

The Altec reminds me of good venting Giro helmets before MIPS liners restricted airflow over your noggin. I got the fidlock version and it’s ok, I never had any problems with plain old buckles so that’s a wash, but something else I do like is the visor, it’s just my personal preference but it’s just the right length and width to block the sun but doesn’t restrict visibility. The Fox visor didn’t do anything and the Troy Lee visor was too long and blocked my vision, especially going downhill. I’m probably going to buy another helmet and store it in a dark room in case 100% stops making it. Again, it’s a personal preference thing but I really love how well this helmet vents. Ps. My head is 57.5cm, I bought a S/M and it fits great
This is the 3rd 100% helmet I’ve bought in the last year. I tried it on at my lbs and it fit really nice and comfy. I like that it’s not a huge bulky fit. The visor is set a little low in my opinion but you can adjust the fit to get it a little higher. The buckle is super easy to take on and off. I bought this one because I crashed and broke my last helmet.
The helmet is excellent. It’s my second one after a stack. The magnetic catch is the best in class and the helmet is really comfortable for my head shape
This fits so much better than previous helmets and had great adjustment.
Purchased this helmet after riding TLD A2 Mips Med/Lg, as well as the Fox Proframe in large for the past couple years. The TLD was snug in Med/Lg, and the XL was way too big. The Fox fit was much better, but the helmet sat low & rattled against my Oakley glasses. The 100% Altec is exactly in the middle of these, perfect fit & perfect form, works great with all of my riding glasses, and the design is fire! 5 Stars!
Great helmet, fits well - doesn’t look like a bucket! Safety features are good, comfortable and I really like the magnetic clip.
I ordered this helmet and was hoping to like it based on other reviews. However, the type of suspension inside the helmet caused it to be uncomfortable. There are little blue button-looking things along the inside liner and they protrude a bit and hurt my scalp. I keep my hair very short so I felt them even when the helmet was just resting on my head! I would imagine when riding they would really be annoying when hitting every little bump. I returned this product.
