KASK

Well, you know already, KASK helmets are going to protect my head in the future. I received sponsorship from KASK's UK distributor, Velo Brands. This guys have other great brands on board as well, like RH+ , Chapeau, Juicy Lube and Cyfac. Take a look on Velo Brands's website! The sponsorship includes 2 KASK Vertigo top of the range helmets. 









I started to use one of the helmet imediately. I haven't done a huge amount of miles during last week, but I am very happy with it. I am going to do some longer rides during the next couple of weeks and I can say honest opinion. 

The helmet is perfectly finished, feather light and super comfortable. It comes with a nice little helmet bag.

CSD - Comfort, Safety and Design. The three key elements of a safety helmet that KASK is unbeatable on.

My helmets are the Vertigos. Let see, what is KASK tells about them:


VERTIGO IS THE ULTIMATE COMBINATION OF HIGH TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION, AERODYNAMICS AND LIGHTNESS.
270 GR, 24 AIR INTAKES AND AN EXTREMELY COMPACT SHAPE TO ENSURE SAFETY AND EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE FOR THE CYCLIST.

Technologies squeezed in the Vertigo:
“IN MOULDING” SYSTEM
The innovative “In moulding” system, joining the inner polystyrene cap to the outer polycarbonate one, ensures a better shock absorption.

UP & DOWN
The Up‘n’Down adjustment system gives the most precise and comfortable fitting of any helmet thanks to its unique double pivot design. This allows the back of the head to be cradled by the straps, which are then easily tightened to the correct tension by a central ratchet wheel. This fit system combined with a very breathable, non-slip, GEL internal liner ensures top performance for the user.

SELF –ADJUSTING LATERAL DIVIDER
This provides great comfort for the user with minimal adjustment. After putting on the helmet and fastening the chin strap, nothing else is required as the divider moves itself to fit comfortably around the ear lobe. The ergonomic design means a great fit for all head shapes and sizes, guaranteeing freedom of movement and excellent ventilation.

3D DRY PADDING
The special 3D Dry Padding utilizes innovative, open cell construction, in keeping with our high technology approach to ensure maximum comfort and performance at all times.
The main features that ensure excellent ventilation are:
• A huge amount of ventilation holes in the padding that reduce the head-to-pad contact area by 70% over standard designs.
• 5 mm thick padding material that draws moisture away from the head and moves it to the outer part of the helmet for fast evaporation.
• Excellent transpiration thanks to a great three ways evaporation

SANITIZED®
Sanitized® textile

ECO-LEATHER CHINSTRAP
Chin pad with eco-leather chinstrap. The anallergic and washable chinstrap is extremely comfortable and helps to avoid irritation of the skin

HIGH VISIBILITY STICKERS

SOFT LATERAL SPACERS
The chin strap incorporates soft lateral spacers, which thanks to their shape, enable excellent ventilation and avoid that unpleasant sweaty strap feeling.
