Kask Rex Helmet reviews and deals for sale

No bueno

The strap design in the back of this helmet is no good. Whenever I change my head position I here a zip tie ratcheting sound.

Great Fit

This is a great fitting helmet with a little extra coverage. With that said it still vents very well and is fairly lightweight. Lots of colors to choose from if you're into that.

Enduro

Not what I was looking for as a cross country racer. The Go-Pro mount is not removable, just coverable with the included cover. Looks cool with visor but very silly without. It's somewhat heavy (again for CC), but would be a good choice for enduro riding as the fit is excellent and the head coverage is super. Excellent construction as seems to be par for Kask. Going to stick with… read more my beloved Protone for now on the mtb.

Great fit!

I've tried several other helmets and this one by far had the most comfortable fit! There are no noticeable pressure points, and it feels very secure around the head. It doesn't look to bulky or mushroom-y either. Ventilation seems decent, and the gopro built in worked great on a night ride! I like how the visor is sturdy and can easily be tilted up to set how you want it. One note-… read more the gopro cover slides in and is a bit tight; to remove push down on the front tab, then slide the covering out by pushing it towards the front of the helmet.

I love the fit and the chin strap!

I really love the fit of the Kask helmets. I started with a Kask Protone for the Road and followed up with the Kask Rex for the woods. I really like the Up & Down hinge fit adjustment - the retainer on the back you twist to tighten. It is comfortable and secure, so secure that I believe I could crash with the chin strap un-buckled and the helmet would stay on my head. The Eco… read more Leather strap is 87 times more comfortable than a nylon strap. It is also super easy to adjust. (My old Bell helmet was a nightmare to adjust with the single strap where when you re-adjust it for your left ear it screws up the adjustment for the right ear.) I'm looking forward to mounting my head lamp in the built-in Go-Pro mount when the days get a little shorter.

A hug for your head

I've gone through pretty much every helmet brand (Bell, Giro, POC, Lazer, Uvex, Specialized) and found that while some fit well, there were always compromises to be had. The Rex is the first helmet that just felt perfect as soon as i put it on my head. The retention system is in my opinion the best on the market, and it comes with a nice leather chin strap as well. I can't comment… read more too much on ventilation besides that it seems at least in line with the other top ventilating helmets on the market. At 200, it definitely isnt cheap for a mountain helmet, but considering how much i ride its definitely worth it for the comfort.

Comfy and light!

The Kask Rex is hands down the most comfortable, well thought out helmet that I've ever owned. I've tried all of the top major brands and Kask nailed it with the Rex! It's very lightweight with a slim less bulky profile than many other brands. In the past I've had a difficult time getting the helmet to sit down on my forehead but still provide good coverage in the back and the OctoFit… read more works perfectly. This is the first helmet I've seen with the amount of adjustability they offer. Well done!The Kask Rex is hands down the most comfortable, well thought out helmet that I've ever owned.

Comfortable

4 stars and not 5 only because of sweat displacement. They claim that the forehead pad keeps sweat off of the eyes, and while this does a better job than any other helmet I've owned, I still get an occasional bead running straight down my face. Other than that this is an incredible helmet with great features. The GoPro buckle on top is nice when used and almost unnoticeable when… read more unused. The flip up and removable visor is great. The chin strap is extremely comfortable and the included bag is a nice touch to keep your helmet nice.

Rounder heads prevail

I wanted to love this helmet so bad! Good weight, great retention system, well ventilated and the coverage I needed. Plus I really wanted a blue trail helmet. All that aside, I have a slightly more oval head and although this helmet fit, it is definitely better suited to those riders with a rounder noggin. I found the fit to be similar to the TLD A1 helmet as far as shape,… read more just wasn't for me, but if you have a rounder head, this helmet should be at the top of your list.

Impressive Ventilation

While I haven't been able to spend much time on the Rex helmet, it was apparent that they took ques from their road helmets to bring good ventilation over to a MTB helmet. As far as comfort, the padding on the Rex is thicker than most making it quite plush and comfortable. I found the Go Pro mount to actually be quite slick with this helmet. It sits low in the helmet making it not… read more stick up as high, and be secure. The downside is that I had to have the bolt tension tight prior to snapping the mount in since I could not adjust it once installed on the helmet. It certainly wasn't a deal breaker though. All in all the Rex seemed like a good helmet providing ample protection in a lightweight, comfortable package.

Kask Rex

My head is 23" which is exactly inbetween size M and L. What do you recommend? (a different helmet?...) Thanks

What is the manufacturing date for the Medium (M) color Red?
