This helmet is very comfortable and lightweight. It has good ventilation. I've had to retire a few helmets because of crashes, so the number one safety rating was very important. The only thing I dislike is that it doesn't have a magnetic chin strap clasp.

The Kask Protone Icon is an incredibly nice, terrific-fitting helmet. The fit mechanism is simple, effective, and highly adjustable. I love the chin strap which is not made of the typical weave, it is more of a leatherette material which doesn't get saturated with sweat during a long ride. Super lightweight and great cooling airflow. I love every bit of it. Only drawback is it doesn't use MIPS, but it is still a very good performer in testing. Highly recommended. Worth the price paid. I got the dark blue version and its absolutely stunning.

Over the years I have used Giro and Kask road helmets but decided to try the Sweet Protection Falconer 2Vi due to it being at the top of the Virginia Tech helmet safety ratings (5-star with MIPS). Sweet Protection is fairly new to cycling but have been manufacturing snowboarding / ski helmets for years and is currently used by the UNO-X Mobility pro cycling team. After 6 months of use it has become my favorite helmet. It fits well, comparatively light - I sometimes forget I have it on, good ventilation, sleek looking - not a "mushroom" look, convenient sunglass storage, comfortable retention strap. Highly recommended!
