Professional Engineering Meets Everyday Road Performance

Delivering an aggressive aero profile and superior ventilation, the MET Rivale MIPS (Black Red Glossy) is an open-road helmet built to elevate your riding performance. Sculpted to slice through headwinds while ensuring an exceptional airflow rate, this helmet brings premium pro-peloton design cues and elite brain protection systems directly to the Kenyan cycling community. The striking Black Red Glossy finish offers a high-contrast, racing-inspired aesthetic on every ride.

Why the MET Rivale MIPS Dominates the Open Road:

  • Integrated NACA Cooling Vent: Stay cool through intense up-country climbs and heavy coastal humidity. The top-mounted NACA vent utilizes the Venturi effect to actively pull fresh air through deep internal channels, pushing hot air out the rear exhaust ports without generating aerodynamic drag.
  • MIPS-C2® Brain Protection System: Do not compromise on safety. The specialized MIPS-C2 layer isolates your head from the outer shell, enabling 10–15mm of relative rotational movement during an oblique, angled impact to safely absorb and redirect violent twisting forces away from your brain.
  • Sleek, Low-Profile Aerodynamics: The Rivale features a carefully engineered, compact profile that keeps air moving smoothly across the shell. By reducing air turbulence along the rear tail, it saves critical energy over long endurance training loops.
  • Safe-T Upsilon Fit System: Experience an exceptionally comfortable, pressure-free fit. The 360-degree retention belt adjusts easily to prevent pressure hotspots on your skull, providing a rock-solid fit that is fully ponytail-compatible.
  • Dedicated Sunglass Docking Ports: Features built-in, secure front slots designed to safely hold your sunglasses when daylight fades or during heavy, sweaty training efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Avid Cyclists:

How does the MET Rivale differ from the more expensive MET Trenta?

While both share premium features like MIPS protection and NACA cooling vents, the Rivale features a slightly more compact, everyday open-road layout, whereas the Trenta utilizes an ultra-premium carbon cage structure to drop weight down to the absolute minimum limits.

Does the bright red accent help with safety on public roads?

Yes, the high-contrast glossy red rear and upper accents provide a significant visibility boost on public Kenyan roads, making you much more noticeable to approaching or passing motorists from a long distance.

Best mineral sunscreen
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Applies easily, smells great and hardly leaves a whitecast! One of my favorite mineral sunscreens that I’ve tried.

White film left
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I know that mineral sunscreen is the best. But this one will leave a white film on you. I have used other sunscreens that work without the white film.

You get Zink, but no “tropical” scent
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great product. I wanted a Zink based sunscreen for my face, but I was hoping it would still have the Sun Bum traditional “tropical” scent. Sadly nope. I’m mixing it with the traditional Sun Bum 30 so I can get my tropical feel while keeping my face safe from sun damage. Hopefully I don’t turn green :)

Worked great
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My skin is very sensitive to the sun. My skin does not tan I sun burn quickly! I love this sunblock because according to the ingredients it's reef & sea animal friendly. I found this product didn't leave a very noticeable white cast on my skin. I was able to blend it with very little noticeable white cast. I didn't find it sticky or really rubbing off on my clothes or bathing suite. In respect to all the things I mention it was all at a very minimal notice. For me it didn't have a smell of any kind. I used this product on vacation in Mexico. I tried & stayed out of the sun as much as I could. I went on a Mayan ruin tour following a snorkeling excursion & did not get a sunburn! Usually for that long period of time in the sun I would have received a light sunburn using other sunblocks but instead I actually got a light tan! I did apply this product on my body & face. I have to say this is my 1st time using this brand & it worked super well for me. :) *Just FYI when I applied this product I didn't need to apply to much if you do its going to obviously leave a white cast. I only applied as needed through out the day. Also make sure you give it time to sit to soak into your skin before putting on your clothes. After all you do have to wait a few min after applying before going out in the sun. That's any sunblock directions.

Finally! A sunscreen that works and does not burn my eyes.
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am unable to use chemical or hybrid sunscreens on my face because they "melt" and destroy my eyes. Living in the south means daily sunscreen year-around is a must - having found this product is a godsend. Unscented, no chemicals to discolor my clothes, no titanium dioxide so no purple-white ghostly cast, easily rubs in. Simply perfect!!!
