Atomic protection
The MT Helmets Atom is a polycarbonate model which
comes in two shell sizes. This is a helmet suited for long-
distance riders and commuters alike, featuring a flip-
front design which makes it easy to talk,
drink and eat pies (that’s what we
do anyway...) without needing to
remove the helmet. The Atom
features vents and a spoiler
for good ventilation in any
helmet position on the bike.
The anti-scratch visor has
a lock system mechanism
and a fast removal system.
The helmet is fastened
by a micrometric buckle,
and has an anatomically
shaped and washable inner
lining for greater comfort.

Sharp as a Blade
RST’s Blade Sport II Textile jacket and trou are
constructed using the same block as
the original Blade, but with more
features – like built-in TPU shoulder
sliders to boost collarbone
protection. Armour includes a
certified back protector, and
the set includes a waterproof,
breathable membrane – join
the two for full protection
from the elements.
Stretch panels improve fit on
and off the bike, and there’s a
lining which can be removed
to help prevent you getting
too hot when it’s warm out.
