Anyone have one and what do you think?

Have been, commuting, training and riding sportives in a 3 year old Giro Hex mountain bike helmet that is now falling/ disintegrating on my head with each ride. :(

Saw that there are some Kask Vertigos on sale for £80 (they are normally over £120)
and thought that might be a good deal.

I know helmets are individual to each head and some brands are better than others but sorely tempted by this deal.

    I have the K10. It's the nuts. Very high quality & great retention system.

    And Italian champ colours 8)

    +1 to that (WC colours for me!)

    That said, the K10 is a very different shape to the Vertigo so probably best to try one on before you go for what is a really great price

    I've got a Vertigo. It's very comfortable, a great fit for me, light enough but most important for me is the very effective venting. A bargain at that price. I've given up wearing my Giro Atmos.
    I’m a sprinter – I warmed up yesterday.

    Ebay , It's the Vertigo C50 not the C10 the other guys have.

    Had my first ride out with it today. 3 hour run and it's night and day from my old beat up giro. Much lighter, better ventilation, good padding and most of the ride it didn't even feel like I had a lid on my head.

    My Kask C50 Vertigo helmet, white/blue arrived this morning. Bought from the fellow on ebay, super fast delivery, very reasonable post charges. Cost me £80.00 + £6.00 pp, cheapest I can find them on the net is £138. Bargain.

    BTW he still has plenty of the Team Sky C50 Vertigo left.
