    I have the exact same problem with the protone strap - it does get annoying sometimes but overall the best helmet I’ve had

    Have ridden my Pit Vipers for years. Timeless and very comfortable shades. Protects eyes very well.

    The Fizik shoes are a great fit for my narrow feet. However, I found that I can't mount cleats far enough back, they feel like they are under my toes. (size 46)

    • @lechprotean
      @lechprotean ปีที่แล้ว +1

      have you had a professional bike fit /cleat adjustment? My Fizik shoes are 47 and even afterj adjusting it to the back, that's kind of in the middle of the adjustment range...

    Thanks David. Having crash tested three helmets over the past fifteen years, I will never again purchase a helmet without MIPs. I will maximize as many factors as possible in my favor. FWIW, and purely anecdotal, the score now is 1) one non MIPs helmet totaled, TBI and other injuries resulting. 2) two MIPs helmets totaled, zero brain injuries, other injuries resulting. Now each crash was different and I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to form a coherent thought, but again, it's all about me and that means MIPs. It's available in Virginia Tech reviewed helmets for significantly less money than the Kask.

    • @jhoff80
      @jhoff80 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      And if you're going to spend that kind of money then the Prevail 3 is the obvious choice in my opinion. Not only saying that because I just bought one, but it's got amazing ventilation and from a safety standpoint it's the #1 road / #2 overall bike helmet per VT's ratings.

    • @logojones96
      @logojones96 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agreed. At this point MIPS has been very well proven to make helmets safer, don't know why any brand would not try to work with them by now.

    I bought the Icon helmet but had to return it as the micro adjustment wheel fell to bits the first time i tried to use it, apparently this is a known problem with this helmet, bought the old protone instead no issues with it.

    What do you do with those glasses at night? Do you always have to carry day and night glasses? I will never understand why cyclists wear glasses with dark lenses. Photochromic glasses are the only way to go IMO.

      But it passes the WG11 safety standard, which means it can provide a certain degree of rotational impact protection.

    I disagree with you on the Kask. I bought it and I absolutely hate it. It is the worst helmet I've ever owned. It does not work for me well at all. It doesn't fit the shape of my head well and is comfortable. I almost gave it away to a friend who has a round basketball shaped head but instead I kept it and use it just for cold winter rides. So, I wear it only a few times a year. Otherwise it sits on a shelf. I completely regret that purchase. No bike shops near me carry it, so I ordered it expecting helmet nirvana. Oh, they don't even have the best retention system either.

    I just bought the out going kask protone for $145. Even that price is too much for it! It’s too much for any helmet! £245 is scandalous for the new one. I had to cut the end of the strap off as there is nowhere to tuck the remainder. Pretty poor for a supposed top end helmet.

  • @17cream

    😂 the strap is one of the best features on Kask helmets. I won’t buy until price comes down and they fix the qc issues with the micro adjuster.

    personally i would pass on all three but that is both physical and environmentally related. i live in florida and both the protone and the sutro lite are the devil in the heat and humidity. fizik shoes are just too narrow and cleat placement is limiting but to be fair i haven't tried that exact pair.

    Like everyone else says, no mips is a deal breaker. And the price is therefore absurd.
