The Merak is loaded with top-end features and the latest safety technologies, perfect for those wanting the very best. Using a 50/50 hybrid construction, the top section is made from an Endura hard shell which is tough and durable; the bottom section uses in-mould to keep the weight to a minimum. The impact-absorbing EPS foam inner has an integrated Wavecel layer, a collapsible cellular structure of interconnected shock absorbers that can flex, crumple and glide in the event of an accident; this process allows it to absorb energy and divert rotational forces away from the head. A powerful active venting system allows airflow and temperature to be controlled by sliding a button; it has 19 vents in total, 8 of which are fully adjustable. The Polartec Power Grid fleece lining and ear pads are moisture-wicking, quick-drying and provide all-day warmth and comfort. A dial on the rear of the helmet controls the 360° BOA fit system which wraps around the head, simply twist for micro-adjustment. The magnetic Fidlock chin buckle can be opened/closed using one hand, even with gloves on, and the helmet is compatible with Outdoor Tech aftermarket headphones.
Venting: Active Sizing System: Adjustable Weight: 480g Construction: Hybrid Safety standard: EN 1077 Class B, ASTM F 2040
Additional Safety WaveCel technology behaves like a network of hundreds of interconnected shock absorbers that sit between your head and the outer shell of the helmet. It helps distribute the energy from an impact, reducing forces like a crumple zone of a car and then helping to divert rotational forces by flexing and gliding.
Venting Active ventilation enables the wearer to fine-tune airflow through the helmet by sliding the vent control button. The helmet has 19 vents in total, 8 of which are fully adjustable, so you are set whatever the weather conditions.
Sizing System The fully integrated 360° BOA Fit System wraps completely around the wearers head allowing for micro-adjustment by simply twisting the dial at the rear.
Construction The 50/50 hybrid construction uses a tough and durable Endura hard shell on the top half and featherweight in-mould construction on the bottom, combining the best of both.

Power Shield Polartec Power Shield fabrics are the next generation of technical outerwear, the soft shell. This clothing concept goes beyond traditional 2-layer systems - which feature fleece insulation and a waterproof/breathable shell - to a single layer that protects against all but the worst weather conditions and delivers extended breathability, abrasion resistance and stretch to enhance your outdoor adventure.
Power Shield Pro Polartec Power Shield Pro combines never before seen levels of air permeability with durable hydrostatic resistance to keep you dry both from within and from out.
Windbloc Polartec Windbloc fabrics block 100% of the wind and offer maximum protection from the cold and the elements. The soft hand, stretch, and Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish combine to make this the highest quality, most comfortable windproof fleece product on the market.
Power Stretch Polartec Power Stretch fabrics feature body-hugging 4-way stretch and are very breathable. They keep you dry when you sweat and provide warmth without weight.
Classic Polartec Classic fabrics are the reference standard for lightweight warmth and breathability. This is the original fleece offering unparalleled quality and durability. Polartec Classic fabrics have been the primary insulation layer of choice among experienced outdoor enthusiasts for nearly three decades.
Thermal Pro Polartec Thermal Pro gear is the most visually dynamic and technically advanced of the Polartec insulation fabrics. Available in a variety of unique surface textures and patterns - many of which are designed to enhance performance - Polartec Thermal Pro materials are great styling options for virtually every end use.
Power Dry Polartec Power Dry fabrics are designed to keep your skin dry when you sweat. Ideal for runners, skiers, and adventure travellers, all fabrics in this series feature a patented bi-component knit construction that uses different yarns on either side of the fabric. This creates two different surfaces: one that is optimized to move moisture away from the skin, the other to dry quickly.
