New helmet - 3 to choose from, which one?

James07 · 28 May 2015 at 04:23

Not sure which I want, it's either ratings or "ip-dip-do" that decides it for me, love the look of the Rudy, also love the look of the Kask.

Kask Mojito
Giro Savant
Rudy Project Sterling

Going purely on wiggle ratings it would be the Kask.

Opinions?

Love the look of the kask but have Hever gone wrong with a giro

You tried any of them on? It's worth getting to a shop and trying them on if you can.

I have a kask and love it! rode 1024 miles from one end of the country to the other and it felt like i had nothing on.

That's fantastic, a lot of Wiggle reviews did say the same thing actually!

I have owned the Savant in the past and thought it was a great helmet. However, I now have the Mojito and it is superior. Exceptionally light, breathable and you barely realise you have the thing on, that really is true form the reviews you see.

If you can afford the Mojito and like the looks of it more (duh, it's awesome looking) then go for that. The Savant is a great helmet but the Mojito is just that bit better, and cooler

It was a sweet helmet and the bonus is my company paid for it as the ride was for charity

I'd personally recommend the Specialized prevail. I got mine for £95 at Sigma. Extremely light, well ventilated and great adjustment / retention system.

I got a reward at work for £120 Amazon vouchers, so my work also bought my Mojito actually :cool:

A vote here for Specialised although I love the look of the Savant/Atmos, Mojito and Vertigo.

I'm currently using a Specialised Echelon II as I use it for commuting too (don't see the need for multiple helmets) so cost became the deciding factor (expecting to replace yearly or so).

I found it most comfortable and they came large enough for my oversized bonce. Most of the others (Catlike, Bell & a couple of Giros) didn't come in a big enough XL size to have enough adjustment to be comfortable. I can get a beanie on under this EchII with room to spare!

Get the one that fits your head.

Seriously, I know the savings from buying online can be attractive but try them on first.

Im going to try one on this or next weekend hopefully, then ill order online once i know which fits.

I got a Medium this time and it fit well, the medium of that one is the same sizing, but i dont feel comfortable buying it unless it fits perfectly.

FWIW, Kask are excellent helmets are extremely comfortable (if they fit your head).

Raptor · 30 May 2015 at 20:36

Definitely try them on, The Kask and Rudy are normally more oval head biased, the Giro round.
