Up until now I have had just one helmet. It was a Specialized one I got on a breakage deal after smashing my previous one in Lithuania after having a head-on with a Dane (I braked too hard and went over the handlebars and over him). Being over 2 years old I decided it was probably time for a new one as I know they get affected by UV from the sun and the padding is rotting nicley.
As part of the Cycle Shack support I have access to a number of brands, one of which is KasK helmets who supply the SKY team. These high end Italian made helmets are the Rolls Royce of protection.
After a trying on session (no mirror – shock horror) I decided on the top of the range MTB helmet the Vertigo in white, complete with leather chin strap.

I picked it up today. It is simply the most comfortable helmet I have worn by a big margin and seems to have lots of ventilation. I’m not sure I want to test any of its other properties any time soon……. but if I do ill let you know.
I wonder whether the deal with Kask would extend to this swanky figher pilot style ski helmet 🙂
