I'm an avid biker and wear a helmet. I've owned a Giro for years, even replaced the padding at one point. I bought a new Giro last year but it came with a clear plastic lining. The kind of plastic that tomatoes come in lined the entire interior. The pads were attached to it. Funny how NONE of the photos of any helmet ever show the interior - you know the part that actually touches your head.I had the Giro for so many years I didn't know what else to get.I bought this KASK and its awesome. It's more compact and has a better strap - wide synthetic leather, compared to the nylon strap of the Giro. The Giro's buckle is on the chin, the KASK puts it up by the cheekbone - way more comfortable design. It's a fabulous helmet made in Italy and I'll definitely be buying another.This is probably my 5th road helmet I've owned. My last two have been Specialized brand. I needed a helmet to match my racing kit, and knew that Team Ineos were using Kask for a number of years. I saw that the color I wanted was on sale, so I jumped on it. Normally paying $250-$300 for a helmet, I purchased this at more that 60% off.First off, the fit. It just hugs your head and the padding is very nice. No need for additional layers underneath for comfort or sweat absorption. The two places I'm picky about are were the front touches my forhead and how the back fits my skull. I am very picky on that fit, so never usually buy online (because I need to try it on first before I buy.) I rolled the dice and was relieved how good a fit it was.Fortunately, I haven't had to crash test this yet but have worn the helmet on 2,3,4 & 5 hour rides without any concerns. Would highly recommend this helmet even at full price.I ordered this helmet in size Large, to fit up to 62 cm circumference (my head measures 61.5 cm). The helmet was very round, and would not even fit onto my oval shaped head.Check out this model of Kask helmet and you'll notice this particular color - Atlantic Blue - is far less expensive than the other colors. Why? Perhaps it's because the color you see in the picture is NOT what the one you get looks like. The picture is a really beautiful deep blue - the actual helmet is far more grey - more like blue putty. Not even close to the picture. Not. Even. Close. But, so what. It's still one great helmet. Comfortable, clean, and oooooh so airy. Wear this with a good sweat cap underneath and the Florida sun is no match.This is the best fitting helmet I've owned. It's very comfortable and seems secure.Fits very well for me. Most helmets don’t. Love the design and look. Especially matte black. Super light alsoI was very excited for this product. Unfortunately, the manufacturer didn’t handle it properly during production.Excelente producto se ve la calidad.
