Since Kask Utopia is alredy in the shops, I was wondering if somebody has managed to get one and could share a few words on its fit and suspension system.
I have Infinity and Protone as the reference point.
I'm currently using one, fit is same with the Protone. Feels a bit quieter than the Protone at speed, suspension retention and strap is the same with protone. Hope this helps!
Very much so, Sir
Limar is looking good, but for me its a bit unknown territory. Knowing what to expect from Kask, perfect fit, very good suspension system and quality retention strap, probably I will stay with their offering. Thanks anyway.

The BMC boys (rip BMC) only wore the vanquish on shorter flatter stages from what I remember. The Vanquish is probably too hot for daily use.

sorry to resurrect this thread, but how's everyone doing with the POC Ventral?

Hi guys,
is there any new aero helmet on the horizon for this year? To be honest I'm not quite happy with the looks of many current ones (and/or they don't match my oval head).
I don't mind waiting a little bit, but I assume any new launch would be happening in the next few months if at all.

I am interested in an aero helmet for cooler days. Has anyone actually seen any speed gains from wearing one?

Spesh S-Works Evade is pretty good for cooler days, it has noticablely less cooling than my previous Kask Protone but still vents well. Would echo the comment above about buying a helmet with slip plane tech in, most of the science shows it's safer.

I recently picked up an Evade II after wearing a Prevail I/II for years. I just rode it on a 90+ degree day for a quick ride and didn't seem to have a problem with not cooling enough. I wouldn't wear it on a long climb or anything, but keeping up speed, it provides plenty of cooling.
As for speed gains, who knows haha. I got it for races mainly, so I'm hoping every little bit helps!

I just picked up a Evade II also. Replaced my worn out Giro Ionos, seems to be fine in everyway. It's never really that hot around here. The hottest was about 80F so far.
