According to the product specialist
Pros
The MIPS system reduces the shock of a crash substantially, increasing head safety. |
Its compact shape and Aero Mesh panels create good aerodynamic capabilities. |
The 26 air vents and the Roc Loc Air Fit System guarantee optimal ventilation. |
The X-static Padding has antibacterial properties, making the helmet stay fresh for longer. |
The specials slots allow you to easily put your cycling glasses on the helmet. |
Lightweight - you almost don't even notice you're wearing it. |
Good ventilation for such an aerodynamic helmet with 15 ventilation apertures. |
Leather straps for extra comfort. |
The upper part is reinforced with an internal plastic substructure, for better fall protection. |
Thanks to the Octofit adjustment system and divider earband, this helmet can be adjusted very precisely. |
Excellent finish quality. |
Lightweight helmet at just 198 grams for a size M. |
Well ventilated because of the 21 large vents. |
Cons
MIPS grants extra safety, but also makes the helmet a little heavier. |
The Roc Loc Air adjustment system feels a bit fragile for a bicycle helmet of this grade. |
Kask does not use MIPS, so that extra bit of security is missing. |
The leather chinstrap takes some cycling trips to feel comfortable. |
The white straps of the helmet can easily look a little grimy. |
The straps are a little inflexible. |
