I'm so glad I watched this. Just another reason not to trust or buy anything on eBay. _Quality that lasts_ is so much more important than a cheaper price for something that'll break. Especially for safety gear!
I have the original one and it is same with the stickers inside the fake helmet on this video. The difference is, in this video, the sticker says "kask spa". Inside my helmet it is written "KASK spa". Probably one way to spot on the original vs fake.
Clue 1: Price. These premium helmet wont be ever be discount even there is a zombie coming. But actually the fake one is not bad. might buy one. thanks for your recommendation!
If we go back in time, say 1980s, would the fake ones be inferior than the helmets at that time? These fake ones looks so good today (2022) and way cheaper at $21USD
It honestly just mostly depends on the materials used, generally the fake ones of today are better than the ones from 1980's just by using modern day EPS (specifically the manufacturing process) plus the fake ones also copy the geometrical designs of the authentic ones so that's a good thing for comfortability.
Great info. I may have just bought a fake if your info is correct. Mine is matte black, $50, has the raised Kask name sticker, but is CE with the lighter gray polystyrene & forehand pad. Have you verified this info somehow beyond your own observations?
Thanks for the reply! I contacted my American seller-awaiting reply. I also contacted a Chinese seller who replied saying folks know his are fake so it's okay-I am awaiting his reply with quality/construction questions. I also just emailed Kask USA to ask if they have guidelines to spot a fake-I figure let's go to the source. Anyhow, my seams are sloppy; not evenly aligned & a little gappy here & there as well.
Yes, sir. It is a fake. A little detective work today discovered mine as a confirmed fake. I messaged back & forth with a Chinese seller on eBay. She admitted they were fake & folks should know that since real Kask comes from Italy not China. She also admitted that they couldn't make them the same or they couldn't sell them as cheap. Then I looked back in the transaction history of my American seller and the Chinese seller. He'd purchased the helmet from her four weeks ago. Your video is right on the money. THANK YOU. If you hadn't posted it, I might be riding with an unsafe helmet for the next 3+ years.
CE = standard safety europe CPSC = standard safety US AS/NZS = standard safety australia. made in italy for 2019 product, italy made for 2020 product, if no text that is fake
Uh... Nope. Educate yourself. All Kask Helmets are made in Italy... again, EVERY helmet made by Kask is made in Italy, by Kask, NOT anywhere else nor by anyone else.
I think the genuine helmets accessory components (mesh, straps, etc.) are sourced from countries like China. Big surprise how many big name helmets are now made in China, not only in cycling but others like motorcycles and other sports.
@@massimilianoaccaputo2512 You've clearly never worked in the cycling industry as I have. You can fool yourself and think that companies, including Italian, do not use cost effective measures in their manufacturing process. Note that several companies claim that their products are made in Europe or the U.S. but they are not. For instance in the early 2000s there were DeRosa frames assembled in Morocco but people were led to believe that they were made in Italy.
Since it is a fake helmet it does not have The crash testing data. Will it protect your head, absolutely, but the protection you get might not be as good as a certified helmet. Any kind of helmet on your head is better than nothing at all.
Mine is genuine and it has the CE on it because it was bought in London. It will have your marking on it if you buy it from Kask Retailer in the United States otherwise great video!
fake 15 usd helmet saved my life 2 month ago. I'm glad I can by next one for 20 -25 usd. Only different is how it look. All helmets do the same work - one day they are dying for you could to live. But if you can pay 200 dollars for helmet - I'm glad for you! and of course, better to pay it for original one)).
Sticker nya malah bagusan yang fake (menyatu). Yang asli hanya sticker tempel. Saya punya yang asli dan fake. Dan lebih ringan yang fake dan secara kenyamanan di kepala hampir sama. Yang membedakan hanya pengunci tali helm lebih smooth yang asli. Kesimpulan saya : yang fake worth it juga.

Both using EPS/Styrofoam so whether you are using fake or original it will save your life.
Yes totally agree and I still love wearing it. Just making sure people aren’t paying full price for a fake :)
The CE is for Conformite Europeene in French. (European Conformity) all helmets have to wear this simbol to be able to be sold in Europe.
I bought the same fake from ali express and saved my life, felt from bicycle and hit the floor badly,still here.
Hope someone makes a test between legit and fake helmets.

Los originales también se rompen.....
You didn't mention anything about the retention system and another thing packaging wise, the fake one came with the storage bag?

good Informationen, perfect job. thank you!
The white one is a genuine Kask Ding Dong

I'm curious about the weight.
This is an excellent example of why you should ALWAYS buy from a reputable website, or even better, your local bike shop! Thanks for sharing!
Tanks for sharing!
A very essential video but are the 'CE' safety lables (to be seen on the white helmet) not just the European equivalent of the US ones?
I think they are but the us has different standards. And I’m sure that anyone can print some labels and slap them in to make them look real.
Tengo la réplica y ha salido excelente..

Do they weigh the same?
CE = standard safety europe
CPSC = standard safety US
AS/NZS = standard safety australia. made in italy for 2019 product, italy made for 2020 product, if no text that is fake
okay the fake one (65.$) has painted letters and the genuine (300.$) has stickers ??? do i miss something here
The new ones have permanent logos like the Chinese copies but better.
Those back stickers don’t match yours but they are correct for the uk market. So good copy there
Ive got the yellow and team sky’s ... now Im chris froome ! Hahaha
What about the weight?
There probably made on the same assembly line in China. 1st shift versus 3rd
Uh... Nope. Educate yourself. All Kask Helmets are made in Italy... again, EVERY helmet made by Kask is made in Italy, by Kask, NOT anywhere else nor by anyone else.
HA! Perhaps made in Italy Is the problem. Chinese would probably make it better...and I’m American
Could have sworn it’s design in Italy made in china ship back to Italy for inspection and then out 😅
I wonder if about the weight difference of two? Also, the fake one really looks like crap, like a cheap Schwinn helmet or something
Lol, it’s not that bad unless you start looking close. I’ll throw the weight difference up in the description this evening
Thanks👍🏻

Incorrect, Kask helmets are all made IN Italy, NOT anywhere else. You may want to educate yourself prior to making incorrect statements online.

@@remotecontrol9874 I totally agree.
is it safe to use a fake kask protone helmet? will it protect me in case i get in an accident?
Since it is a fake helmet it does not have The crash testing data. Will it protect your head, absolutely, but the protection you get might not be as good as a certified helmet. Any kind of helmet on your head is better than nothing at all.
Do they weight the same ?
Andi Hakim the original weighs more because of its durability.
BLACK helmet real？
You forgot the most important point, that is the weight. What’s the weight for both of them?
Fake one is 30g heavier than.
CE is european certificate...but can also means china export..You can´t tell just by the sticker that one helmet is fake. Stickers can be fakes too.
What about the lettering on the chin strap? Made In Italy vs Italy Made?
If its Made in Italy, its from 2019. While Italy Made, its from 2020
Thats just what I read
Mine is genuine and it has the CE on it because it was bought in London. It will have your marking on it if you buy it from Kask Retailer in the United States otherwise great video!

No every impact tests tell the different story. they are not built the same and the fake ones don't meet the safety standards.
да Виктор , лучше купить оригинал
Interesting, haven't found any references to people having accidents while wearing the replicas, it seems they get bashed a lot,
Actually there are various versions of fake. I’ve seen fake with stickers.
Why would you eaven want to buy fake helmet ???
Why not :) check out the quality, get another color.... lots of reasons
偽物頭にきますよ！
Sticker nya malah bagusan yang fake (menyatu). Yang asli hanya sticker tempel. Saya punya yang asli dan fake. Dan lebih ringan yang fake dan secara kenyamanan di kepala hampir sama. Yang membedakan hanya pengunci tali helm lebih smooth yang asli. Kesimpulan saya : yang fake worth it juga.
mau nanya om, apakah yg fake dapat dus warna hijau putih, tas bertulisan KASK, dan manual book yg melekat pada dus ???
Holding a fake one in my hands right now and it looks perfect. Why pay $300?
It won’t protect your head in the same way that why. You’re paying for the technology, not the looks.
@@J88HNT what’s the technology? The styrofoam inside? Are you sure you’re not paying hundreds more for the brand itself?
No difference in technology or crash protection there made of the same material and have the same crash absorption
turn the page to buy me a replica
Oke CE of the fake is for Europe
But still the CE is different then it should be
the ce is British standard so i was meant for UK
EU
There you buy fake helmet
It is so easy ...The real one will give you extra 10 watts! DUH....
might want to check this safety test th-cam.com/video/h0ruRh4wBbk/w-d-xo.html
tu hai 2 caschi fake....
If it's under $100; it's not Kask.
