Why We Like The Valegro Helmet
We grabbed our first glimpse of the Kask Valegro Helmet on the heads of Team Sky riders at the 2017 Tour as they donned them on the hottest mountain stages where aerodynamics takes a back seat to light weight and ventilation. Since that time, we've been patiently waiting for Kask to bring the helmet to the market for us mere mortals. The team that's known for its obsession with marginal gains once again makes—ahem—headway in helping design a product that in the end, we all benefit from.
Kask engineers carefully shaped the profile of the Valegro's polycarbonate shell and verified the results in the wind tunnel, creating exceptional cooling performance and heat exchange, the perfect recipe for a helmet to keep your head cool on climbs in July. The Valegro offers its impressive cooling through 37 vents and the new breathable and quick-dry pads. This 5mm thick 3D DRY padding is anti-static and antibacterial and has a multi-layer open cell construction process so it wicks away sweat while remaining extremely comfortable. And because your perspiration evaporates quickly, less humidity is formed so the temperature remains more constant.

If Possible, Try In Person
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
If possible, try it in person before ordering online to make sure it's the right fit for you. Used the sizing chart and the helmet fit perfectly however as others have mentioned, the side straps' length/positioning are not adjustable and were pulling up and into the bottom of my ear lobes. I purchased a size M and have "normal-sized" ears. I could see how this would be a great helmet, especially in warm climate riding, however the lack of customizable fit makes it a bit of a crapshoot
