How to choose your Gravel Helmet
Selecting the right helmet is crucial for safety and comfort, especially when it comes to the fun and technical discipline of gravel cycling.
Modern helmets now feature advanced technologies like impact-absorbing materials and optimized ventilation, boosting both protection and performance across a variety of terrains. With so many options available, however, choosing the correct gravel helmet can feel overwhelming.
To help you find the perfect fit, we’ve put together a guide to our helmets tailored for gravel cyclists of all levels, covering a range of budgets and preferences so that your rides are safe, comfortable, and enjoyable on every adventure.
PROTONE ICON // Exceptional Versatility
The Protone Icon is an excellent choice for gravel aficionados, balancing aerodynamics, comfort, and safety. While it’s a favorite among professional road cyclists, its features make it equally befitting to off-road, gravel riding. The innovative inner frame offers enhanced impact protection and the seamless shell design optimizes airflow whilst reducing drag. With the Octofit+ adjustment system, achieving a secure fit is easy, making it ideal for tricky terrain.

Whilst every KASK aero helmet has its own unique characteristics, each one has passed the KASK Rotational Impact WG11 Test which we created to ensure our protection far exceeds international norms.
We recommend replacing your helmet approximately every three years because over time its capacity for protection decreases due to the aging of the materials.
After any violent impact, even if no damage is visible, the helmet should be replaced because its capacity to absorb further impact could be impaired.
