KASK Lifestyle

Ok, so the price may be quite steep but this helmet has a lot of smart features. Designed for everyday urban cycling, the outer shell has been made from silk-screen polycarbonate with a polystyrene inner. Kask has used an eco-leather chin-pad strap for added style and comfort which is also anti-allergic, wipe-able and can be made to fit any shape.
