If you don't mind wearing the Team Sky Editions, Planet X are currently selling:

Kask C50 Vertigo Medium size for £87.49 (RRP £165) Post Free.

Kask K10 Universal Size for £64.99 (RRP £130) Post Free.

I think they're last year's models, but still a pretty good buy.

    They are still only a few quid less than the Mojito though and, tbh, that's probably a nicer (lighter and smaller), if less flashy helmet.

    That said, if you fit these C50s they are a great price. There is a white version (only a few left - again only medium) for even less - http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/HEK ... m_(48_58cm)

    Also, if the Sky lids have the same sort of marking as the Mojito, if you don't like the Sky advertising (and who would :lol: ) it should be easy enough to peel off.

    Does anyone actually know if the 'SKY' branding/livery is just an adhesive sticker and can be peeled off? I'm talking about the K10 specifically.

    Thanks.

    The discount code was on their website or £12 off. They always have some discount code on there IME. Take a look.

    Thanks! I'm not fussed about the colours just the 'SKY' branding. I've emiled PX who've confirmed they can be removed.

    Also, out of principal I wouldn't buy from the CRC but thanks for the info.

    Mine turned up from PX this morning just as I was leaving for work - first impression were very good and I'll post again later once I've got it fitted correctly.

    The Sky branding looks like it will be very easy to remove if it's the kind of thing that bothers you. The logo almost looks and feels like it's been cut from a particularly hard-wearing sticky address label :lol:

    Just ordered one. And in one go I have spent more on 1 helmet than the last 3 cost in total :wink:

    You won't be disappointed the K10 is a quality helmet.

    My Team Sky Vertigo (C50) arrived this morning from Planet X. I had it fitted to my head within a couple of minutes (so easy!) and it literally took me 30 seconds to peel off the Sky logos. Very comfortable - love it to bits, particularly as the cycling club I belong to ride in black and sky blue kit. I'm sure it will be just as easy to peel off the Sky stickers on the K10 model.

    My vertigo arrived this afternoon. tbh I wouldn't say it's any more or less comfortable than my old helmet but it does feel more secure and better quality.

    Excellent service from Planet X and...wait for it DPD who delivered it. Ordered yesterday morning and it arrived this afternoon 3 minutes into the time slot given by DPD.
