Review: Catlike Mixino Helmet

Bex Hopkins tests out the lightweight Catlike Mixino, but what is it that took her fancy about the helmet?

So comfortable and lightweight, you can’t even tell the Catlike Mixino Helmet is on!

5 Surprising Things it’s Legal To Do When Cycling

The Catlike Mixino joined the range in 2013 and is worn by the Moviestar Pro road team and we can certainly see why. The slim profile minimizes drag when you’re riding and it was really noticeable even at the lower speeds of a club rider.

Being a lot less bulky than most other helmets on the market, it’s extremely light and comfortable and thanks to the Micro-Dial fit system with lateral and, vertical adjustment it’s easy to get a snug fit. Spare pads and a helmet bag top off the package nicely.

All those features mean it’s barely noticeable on your head, yet the Catlike Mixino provides an incredible amount of protection with the internal Aramid Fibre Roll cage and reinforced brim section.

There are loads of vents incorporated in the design, with clever Dualflow exhaust vents at the rear to pull the air through and keep you cool.  With all that pro-level technology you’d expect a stratospheric price tag not the £120 RRP – impressive and a pleasant surprise.

Verdict:

Great fitting helmet with lots of adjustability, bags of high tech protection features and at a good price too!
