Reviews over the

KASK Protone

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!
