According to the product specialist
Pros
Equipped with the new Roc Loc ® 5-Plus fit system for even better adjustment of your helmet's fit. |
Good-looking helmet that's aerodynamic and has great ventilation. |
MIPS Spherical is integrated between 2 layers of EPS foam and absorbs the impact of a fall very effectively. |
This helmet can also be worn with a ponytail. |
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
The Roc Loc ® 5-Plus fit system feels slightly fragile when adjusting your helmet. |
In addition to adding extra safety, MIPS also adds some extra weight to the helmet. |
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. |
