Kask K50 Dilemma

Zak Flaps

Hi.

Ok, I really want the white Kask K50 helmet.
Can only order online as it doesn't seem to be available in Ireland.
Sizes available are medium and large.
Medium = 48-58cms
Large = 59-62cms

I measured my head as accurately as I could. It comes in somewhere between 58 and 59 cms!!!!!

SH1T!!!!

In this case, which size should I order!!!
Medium may be too small, large too big...

I had the same problem when buying mine. My head measured the same as yours and the BBB Hawk helmet I wanted was sized the same as the Kasks. I went for the medium and it's perfect, there is even room for wearing a cap in winter and it looks very neat. The large size wound have been way too big. I say go for the medium and return it if it's too small.

I think base2race stock kask helmets, they used to anyway. If ur around Dublin I've a medium kask vertigo you can try on to see how it fits

I'd go for a size bigger to accommodate hats etc

If you've ever found that "one size fits all" helmets aren't quite as well-fitting as you would have liked, then go with the large.

Eurocycles on Sth William street stocks them

I have the K50 in medium - my head is 57/58cm and it fits like a glove. It's a great helmet - highly recommend it. The strap at the back pivots up and down so it sits perfectly on your noggin - it's also very light & comfy.


I would recommend trying on a helmet for size & fit before you buy though. Not sure where you are based but I got mine in Bike Hub in Howth and they had a decent range last time I was in. I paid €89.99 for mine just before Christmas (think they are €99.99 but got a tenner off by asking!). I have also seen them in Cycle Surgery in Dundrum.

Thanks for the input guys. I didn't realise that there are some shops in Dublin that stock them. I'll try them on for size so. The bike hub in Howth isn't too far away from me.
