Product Review

Kask's Vertigo 2. 0 helmet is a looker -- we'll get that out of the way first, because, everything else being equal, we want the helmet that looks great. But there's a lot more to the Vertigo 2. 0 than its pretty face. Buried within the EPS foam that makes up the bulk of the helmet's protective properties is an internal skeleton that not only gives the helmet a structure, but also keeps it from shattering into pieces on impact. This means that you'll remain at least somewhat protected through each stage of a crash. To go along with the finish and technology buried within the helmet are some genuinely nice rider-oriented features. The first is Kask's Up & Down adjustment, which comfortably secures the helmet at the base of the cranium, rather than sitting atop it. Attached to that is an Eco-Leather strap, which is hypoallergenic and non-abrasive, and inside the helmet are removable and washable Coolmax pads.
