Very good helmet

- Beltran, 3 October, 2023

Fast delivery and the helmet is not heavy to wear after 4 hours of cycling. A great buy. The strap is a bit stiff at first.

Lightweight helmet that winks at aero

- Lorenzo, 18 July, 2023

A very light and high-performance helmet, very comfortable and with many adjustment possibilities. The leather undercollar is also very elegant.

Great helmet. Comfortable, fully adjustable and looks the part too

- Darren, 27 September, 2020

A professional quality helmet that not only does the job, but can be easily adjusted for a perfect fit and is aerodynamic with great ventilation. Good looks are the cherry on the cake, with great colour options. My Black/Red combo complements my bike and kit perfectly. Not cheap, but quality rarely is. Mantel’s discount helped the decision to click the ‘add to basket’ button. No regrets!

Light with a good profile but warm and poor pad inserts.

- Andrew, 13 August, 2020

I bought this as an upgrade to my Specialized Echelon II helmet and unfortunately feel disappointed. On the plus side it is very light, the Medium coming in at the weight advertised. It also has a good profile and looks good on. However, on the negative side I find it much warmer than the Specialized and the venting at the front is nowhere near as good at diverting sweat away from your eyes. In fact, seems to do the opposite. I've also had a problem with the padded inserts where the velcro tape has come away from the helmet when trying to remove the pads which is poor. It is a comfortable helmet when you get the adjustments right but the leather strap is too stiff in my opinion coming from a very flexible fabric strap. Unfortunately I'll probably be looking for a different helmet for warmer weather rides. Shame, as it does look good!

Pros & Cons

Comfortable
Light
Looks good on
Not overly large
Poor adhesive on pads

Lightweight and cool helmet

- Michael, 17 July, 2020

The helmet is very lightweight and sits fairly comfortable. However the adjustable unit at the back does not exactly fit my head shape and creates two pinch points, also making it awkward to put on. The Matt black finish is stunning. The v straps at the ears are not adjustable but this does not affect me. The leather chin strap is great but takes time to get used to. I bought this helmet to get a smaller profile as I have a large head, it sits taller on my head and narrower at the sides compared to my cheaper Standard helmet. The air does flow through the vents very well keeping me cool in the warm weather and I would say that this is its best feature. Mantel had the best price on the web for this helmet. Item was carefully packaged and delivered quickly.

Pros & Cons

Chin strap is soft leather
Matt black stunning finish
Modern design and profile
Vents are very effective at cooling
Very lightweight
Adjustable unit at back not good for some people
Expensive
No mips safety feature
V straps at ears not adjustable

This helmet is light, comfortable, sleek and attractive - a perfect choice.

- Kenny, 16 July, 2020

I can’t really fault this design. The helmet is light, comfortable, sleek and attractive - and I’ve had no problem with it at all after several hundred miles. Would like to try the Medium, but I chose the Large, being on the cusp at 59 cm, which is probably sensible. I’m wearing it at the tightest setting as a result, but it fits just fine. The smaller one may look better, but even the Large has a very low profile. Very happy with it.

Best helmet I've ever owned.

- Markus, 19 May, 2020

This helmet manages to combine aerodynamics with breathability, together with a very customisable fit. From the few rides I've done with the Kask Protone thus far, I definitely notice less drag than with my previous c.£50 Bell model. Personally, the aesthetics of the protone in matt black are the best of any helmet I've seen and the price and service from Mantel was second to none. Very pleased with my purchase. Don't hesitate and purchase!

- David, 7 August, 2019

Upgraded from the Mojito, this is in another league. I now get very little sweat running down my glasses, the odd droplet as opposed to the flood I was used to, also the nifty retention feature for the glasses means they no longer move. Supremely comfortable and very light. 100% happy

- Mike, 5 June, 2019

Bought to replace an S-works Prevail written off in a crash. Tiny bit heavier and tiny bit less ventilated but better quality construction and a great fit on me in the same size as the Prevail. More aero? Absolutely no idea. Pleased with the purchase.

Kask Protone is the best road helmet you can buy. Great price from Mantel.

Great fit and look

- Anthony, 13 March, 2019

The Protone is a nice looking, lightweight helmet. I’m a 59cm head size and I ordered the medium initially and although it just about fit it was a little snug on the forehead. No room to wear a cap underneath. Returned for a large and the fit is perfect. The large obviously looks bigger than the medium but not a huge mushroom. Looks pro in white with white Jawbreakers. Great helmet. Best price online from Mantel.

I had the Rapido helmet before, which I liked a lot. Protone has much better ventilation, and is apparently (didn't measure it) more aero. Fit is better too, with more adjustment and better contact points.

Great fitting helmet

- Jimmy, 7 August, 2018

The fitting system of the Kask helmets seems to hug the head perfectly without any pressure points and is comfortable all day. Lots of vents to keep you cool and it looks great too ! The only thing I don't like is the fake leather chin strap....something lighter and more supply would be better.

Pros & Cons

Stiff chin strap

Great bit of kit...

- Noel, 2 August, 2018

The Protone is a great bit of essential kit. Have had a few different helmets (Synthe / S Works) and in my opinion this is the best looking and most comfortable to date. Loving the stealth looks and leather chin strap. Adjustable liner works really well and all important sunglasses storage slots don't let you down. Was not thinking about a new helmet but with the TOUR Deals it was too good a deal to be missed!

Great helmet with an unlikable strap.

- Richard, 6 December, 2017

The helmet itself is great, it fits your head very well and is dry adjustable. It has the best dial of any helmet I've used. The only downside is the leather strap. It's not supple enough for one and it's also way too long. I don't want to cut it to size as it kinda ruins resale if I decide to get rid. I've had to tap it our if the way or it just looks rubbish and flaps about taking away the aero advantage the helmet is purported to give. A little disappointing and the only thing that stopped me rating this a 10.

Pros & Cons

Comfortable
Fits your head rather than sits on it.
Good shape
Great tightening dial mechanism
Horrible leather strap

5 / 5

Superbly stylish and comfortable helmet

- Collin, 5 December, 2017

This helmet is light, supremely comfortable, looks stylish and is even aero. The adjustment dial and cradle make it easy to get a secure and comfortable fit. It's hard to fault. Not a full 10, but only because of the price, which is a significant investment.

Great helmet with quality details

- Adam, 25 January, 2016

Usually I am a Large in most helmets but with the Kask I fitted the Medium thanks to the clever adjustment system. The straps and clips are great quality and the helmet fits over and around the head as opposed to just feeling as though it is perched on top.

Great Fit
Great Shape
Bit pricier than some
