KaskValegro

I’ve been using a POC Octal for years but I crashed and dented it so I needed a new helmet. Unfortunately POC discontinued that model and I’ve been struggling to find a suitable replacement. After trying several helmets I settled on this one. I don’t quite like how it looks on me as well as the Octal but it’s fairly low-profile and no mushroom head. At 236 grams it’s 10 grams lighter than my Octal although it’s not quite as comfortable. I think you sacrifice a little comfort for it being so lightweight. That being said, I barely even notice that I’m wearing it and it stays in place on my head so I don’t have to constantly tighten or adjust it like I had to do with my Octal. Aside from the extreme lightweight, the biggest positive is the air flow. This is the perfect hot weather helmet which is what I need for SW Florida. I took the little front pad out for maximum air flow (as suggested). I know the fake leather chin strap is a selling point for a lot of people but I’m not a fan. I think a thin, soft nylon strap is more comfortable. I used to wear a Kask Mojito which has the same chin strap and it wore out over time and on hot sweaty days bits of it flake off and stick to my skin. The finish of the Valegro could be a little nicer for $266 but I kept it because it fits, it looks good, it’s VERY lightweight and it’s well ventilated. My head is 57 ½ cm and I got a large. There’s plenty of room to spare and I can wear a cycling cap or a thermal beanie in cold weather and it doesn’t look too large. If the helmet cost around $200 I’d be tempted to go 5 stars but at $266 it’s four.

This model of Kask helmet has been improved tremendously from the first model. The padding is all new bringing increased confort and fit as well as being the lightest Kask helmet.

Super light and great ventilation

Muy cómodo y adaptable para incluso anda con algo abajo. Muy liviano.

After 6 months of continous use the leather peels off. 250 usd to trash.Made in Italy??? Really??

Kask makes exceptional helmets. I chose the Valegro model for the higher air flow. Very well made and good looking helmet.
