Kask Conditioned – New Rex Helmet Announced

Kask were set up in 2004 to provide helmets for a load of different sports; notably for Team Sky on their road bikes. But a MTB helmet has been conspicuously absent – until now.

This is the Rex. Apparently, it ‘brings the very best of Italian design and craftsmanship to the rigours of today’s demanding mountain biking requirement.‘ Coo.

But it does seem to have a pile of neat features. It’s got 20 vents, special ‘evaporation technology’ in the sweat pads at the front, and optimum airflow at slower speeds.

It comes in four colours, and ‘The rider’s entire head is protected including the Lower Occipital bone in the rear and added temporal coverage in front for additional safety.’ So it goes down low at the back. And the temporal bones are at the sides, so they get a bit of extra protection too.

There’s a removable visor, an integrated goggle retention clip and a Lux leather chinstrap. They’ll be available by Christmas, prices TBC.

Barney Marsh

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.

Got a leather chinstrap on the Mojito, its so nice against the skin compared to the normal nylon strap.
I love my Mojito roadie lid so this is going straight to the top of my list for replacing my ageing Giro.

Leather chin strap is great.
