The Protone Icon Road Helmet (WG11) has had a redesign, with subtle changes to venting to boost airflow, an improved fit system that's now more comfortable and secure and tweaks to aesthetic design details to bring it right up to date. What hasn't changed is the superb head protection on offer and that race-winning combination of comfort and aerodynamics. Multi In-Moulding Technology From the safety point of view, you'll continue to benefit from Kask's Multi In-Moulding Technology. This sees a durable but lightweight polycarbonate shell fused to the shock-absorbing EPS foam inner. In the event of a crash, this works to dissipate harmful forces that could otherwise cause serious injury. The protective foam is also reinforced internally, providing extra strength and ensuring structural integrity should you be unfortunate enough to fall. WG11 Safety Testing Protocols The Protone also exceeds stringent WG11 testing protocols. This series of scientific-based protocols focus on protection from rotational impact forces, measuring rotational kinematics from both oblique and normal impacts. With these safety protocols adhered to, you can be sure this helmet has you covered should you be unfortunate enough to fall from your bike OctoFit+ Retention System With the OctoFit+ retention system, you can dial in the fit of your Protone quickly and ensure perfect comfort every time you ride. A rubberised dial allows micro-adjustment of the fit while the vertical stabilisers of the previous system have been redesigned to achieve even greater comfort and stability. The secure fit also ensures that in the event of a crash it keeps the helmet in place to afford the very best protection. Self-adjusting lateral divider This provides great rider comfort with minimal adjustment required. After putting on the helmet and fastening the chin strap, the divider moves to fit comfortably around the earlobe. The ergonomic design means a great fit for all head shapes and sizes, guaranteeing freedom of movement and excellent ventilation. Coolmax Padding When the pressure is being applied at the front of the bunch, training is tough or the temperatures are rising fast, it's the Coolmax® padding that will deal with the inevitable sweat build-up. Quick to wick away sweat and quick to dry, you'll be kept cool and comfortable no matter what.
Aerodynamic performance, low weight, maximum ventilation, amazing looks A traditional aerodynamic helmet can be too warm but the vents on a standard road helmet can increase drag. The Protone Road Cycling Helmet (WG11) has a revolutionary design that combines the best of both worlds. Originally developed and extensively wind-tunnel tested together with Team Sky (Now Team INEOS), the Protone delivers professional performance in a sleek and stylish package. The Protone weighs just 215g and uses a 3D Dry padding with a multi-layer open cell construction process to give a more comfortable ride. It has removable and washable inner padding, made from CoolMax® fabrics and its inner padding fabric has been treated using the Sanitized® antimicrobial process. Additionally, its Octo Fit adjustment system guarantees a perfect fit for any kind of head shape. KASK has continued to use its Multi In-Moulding Technology to create a polycarbonate cover for the top, base ring and the back of the helmet’s shell. This is joined to the inner polystyrene cap via KASK’s In-Moulding Technology to improve the shell’s shock absorption. Its strengthened frame further reduces the risk of a shock breaking the shell. WG11 Safety Test The Protone passes the stringent WG11 test. This focuses on protection from rotational impact forces, measuring rotational kinematics from both oblique and normal impacts. With this safety test passed, you can be sure the Protone has you covered should you be unfortunate enough to fall from your bike. 3D Dry tri-dimensional padding The special internal padding is based on an innovative multi-layer open cell construction process that gives maximum comfort and performance thanks to a series of technical features: - Several ventilation holes that reduce the head-to-pad contact surface by 70% compared to standard designs - 5mm thick padding material that wicks moisture away from the head and moves it to the helmet’s outer shell – fast - Excellent three-way evaporation Aerator position at the top of the helmet boosts safety - The top area is reinforced with an internal plastic sub-structure that increases crash protection and helps maintain the helmet’s integrity after impact. CoolMax® material padding The front of the helmet features a highly effective sweat-absorber that is easily removable and washable. Self-adjusting lateral divider This provides great rider comfort with minimal adjustment required. After putting on the helmet and fastening the chin strap, the divider moves to fit comfortably around the earlobe. The ergonomic design means a great fit for all head shapes and sizes, guaranteeing freedom of movement and excellent ventilation. Kask Octo-Fit Rubberised Micro Dial adjuster provides an improved finger grip. Floating cradle contact points and supports are designed to oscillate freely through 180° allowing a perfect fit on any shaped head. The Skeletal Brackets of the cradle have been designed and refined to provide the best fit and support whilst being as light as possible Chin pad with eco-leather chinstrap The anti-allergy, washable chinstrap is extremely comfortable and helps prevent skin irritation. It incorporates soft lateral spacers, shaped to enable excellent ventilation and avoid that unpleasant ‘sweaty strap’ feeling.

Able to fit any Protone helmet produced by Kask, this Spare Pad Set feels almost like a brand-new helmet, thanks to the use of open cell 3D Dry material, which reduces the contact between head and helmet. Additionally, the pads are easy to attach via Velcro® strips, 5mm thickness keeps you well protected, and they also do a great job of wicking sweat away from the skin quickly and efficiently.
Given that cycling is often equal parts cunning and strength, the pros use Kask's Protone Helmet to keep their strategic organ in top shape so it can effectively direct their energies when frantic finales send all the blood rushing to the legs. In-mold construction polycarbonate shell over EPSOcto fit cradle and adjustable chinstrap14 Large air ventsEasy-clean ECO chin strapCoolmax paddingIncredibly aerodynamicWeight: 230gTactical engines of the pro's are protected by an in-mold construction of a polycarbonate shell bonded with an EPS foam body, all of which is built on a frame designed to let the helmet absorb impact while still maintaining enough structural integrity to see you safely through the duration of a crash. While safety is a helmet's first (and usually last) job, there are certain benchmarks that today's industry expects top-end protectives to meet. The current front runner in this category is aerodynamics, and the Kask ran the Protone through the expected wind-tunnel paces in order to design a model that dodges the wind whether you're head-on in the drops or in virtually any other cycling posture imaginable.The second consideration is cooling, and unlike many of its competitors, the Protone doesn't sacrifice ventilation for aerodynamics. In addition to the immediately obvious vents and rear exhaust port, the Protone incorporates Coolmax padding. Coolmax padding equates to more efficient moisture transfer and evaporation to complement your body's natural cooling process. They're also antibacterial, removable, and contribute to the comfortable, personalized fit of the floating Octo Fit cradle and corresponding ECO Chinstrap.
