Kask Protone

[iateyoubutler]

Anybody here use one?

I`m thinking of treating myself to a new brainbucket and really like the look of these, just wondering how good they are to use (I know head shaped/sizes come into play etc).

I use a Giro Savant at the moment, and comfort/fit wise it`s great, but too sweaty, 20 mins into a ride and it`s dripping This is the only helmet I`ve had overheat like this so hopefully the problem isn`t me!

Any good/bad points before I go and try one out?

Many thanks

I'd go for a catlike if I was spending money.

They are a really odd shape, very narrow on the temples from my trials. Quite hard to find in shops to try, I bought one online, cost £6 to return

More vents the better if you want cool, after fit and comfort

I'm on the cusp between sizes for the Protone so find it hard to get a good fit. But if your head is the right shape and size, they're great - very adjustable. Very light too.

POC Octal is good if you're looking in that price range - phenomenally lightweight and very comfortable.

I'm using a Giro Synthe at the moment, which I find fits me nicely and has very good ventilation.

My head seems to fit Giro and Catlike helmets, and that's it. Fit is a funny thing with helmets. Try the Kask before you buy, for sure.

I have the Protone and I like its fit (got it as a replacement for a crashed Infity) so hadn't tried it but I had no qualms about the fit as I know KASK fit my napper and they're nice and adjustable.

Another thumbs up for the Protone from me. I had a Mojito previously, but that was retired after it had served it's purpose.

I also have a Protone too, a replacement for a faulty a Giro Synthe. Liked the Syntthe which was let down by a weak ratchet mechanism but this is better. Not used it in warmer weather though as it was an Autumn buy.
