The Bluegrass innovative C-shaped cheek pad design ensures maximum ventilation, helping to keep you cool when you’re riding hard. They have two adjustable positions and are designed to make putting on the helmet supremely easy. The Vanguard is at the forefront of mountain biking protection, designed in-house in Bluegrass’ cutting-edge labs, and backed by Bluegrass’ decades of experience.

With the chin guard, the Vanguard aims for breathability and safety and over-delivers on both. Hot air easily escapes via the central vent, helping you to breathe easy on even the steepest climbs. The removable mud grill clips easily onto the chin guard, protecting you from splashes on the sloppier days. The confidence that comes from wearing a full-face is ensured thanks to the comfortable wrap padding and the deep coverage on the back and the chin.

You know when the action is heating up that having a stable helmet makes for greater safety, more comfort, and a better all-round ride. Thanks to the Safe-T Heta retention system, the Vanguard Core is exceptionally balanced and steady on the head, with no discomfort and a perfect integration with any eyewear you choose.

The visor is an integrated part of the shell of MTB helmets, and it has to be carefully designed to be protective, stylish, and safe. The Vanguard Core features a flexible breakaway visor to avoid twisting of the neck in impacts from any angle. Thanks to its 24 vents and wide internal air channels, the Vanguard Core lets the air move freely from the inlet ports to the exhaust holes, when you’re riding at both low and high speed. Lightness with no compromise. The Vanguard Core hits the balance of excelling in multiple safety standards, while weighing just 725g in medium size.
