two smart choices, they both fit differently, get the one that fits. kask is for round shaped heads, bell more oval.

I've got a big head and I was surprised just how good a neat fit the Kask was.

Kask offer the best fit, whether you have big/small head or round/oval. Also, it's not as bulky so you won't look like a mushroom head in contrast to Giro, Bell and many others.

Have you ever had them on your head or are you only looking online?
You need to go for the best fit. There is no single information from your side we can use as reference for advise.
So Im afraid we cant help.

I'm around 59-60cm and my Large Kask Mojito fits me a treat.

For you Kask Mojito owners, did it come with a full liner like some of the Giro lids? I like the option of having full cooling to no cooling, given that I ride from five below to thirty above.

I think Kask helmets are a little better quality as Giro, and pricier too

I'm planning on visiting my local Trek store and check out the Ballista. It's got really good reviews. And very light for an aero helmet.

I alternate two helmets. I have a Kask Protone for warmer weather and a Specialized Evade for morning rides and cooler weather. I like having two helmets and there are a few benefits to this. If you want a cool weather helmet maybe check out the Scott helmet thats causing all the ruckus with the riders.

With regard to your choices you need to try them on imo but i do like the strap on the Kask.

Kask's leather strip is uncomfortable for me

I seem to have quite a narrow oval head and Kask just don't work for me. The best fit I had was an S-Works Prevail, the Evade unfortunately doesn't fit because the foam inside touches at the back before it's on properly (and I don't really fancy taking a knife to it). I'm also trying on the Ballista tomorrow.

Do yourself a favour and try helmets on before you buy one.
