Kask Mojito vs Giro Aeon

focuz

Debating between the two at the moment as my old helmet doesnt fit well and ive heard the mojito fits really well, but at the same time many use the aeon. Any opinions on either? or which is better as i can pick both of them up for around £115

I have a mojito, it's really comfy and light. Tried a giro before that but it wasn't a patch on the mojito.... But I suppose it's all down to head size and shape.

I just changed from a kask k10 to a kask vertigo and the fit is perfect now. I've got quite a big napper and always felt the k10 pinched the front of my head a bit. It wasn't the most secure either.

I got an aeon and its fine, gives you a bit of a mushroom head front on though

Go to a shop, try them on and buy the one that fits best...

Specialized Prevail.

I recently got a Mojito, yes it sits really nicely on your head, far better than my Spezialised did, it is very light too and excellent cradle, hardly needs any tighteness for it to be secure. Only issue have found is not too good for sunglasses, rear arms hit back of the cradle arm instead of going in between head and cradle, no room here to do so.

Oh :L

Cradle on mojito is fully adjustable up and down as well as fit so it is great for getting a snug fit

sungod

as others say, try them on, fit/feel varies a lot with head shape

the aeon is nice and light, i find the vents are not good for holding shades (at least not radar path), the lower ones are way too far apart, the next pair are too close together

Buy the one that fits best but if it's an Aeon then they are £99 here...

You have your answer right here.

ps also have the mojito, is great and doesn't give that mushroom look, have no issue with shades either.

How much better is Kask Mojito or Vertigo than Bell Volt?

Had a giro atmos for a couple of years, was in the lbs, seen a kask mojito, tried it on, what a revelation, done deal.

The best is the one that fits you best. Bell don't work at all for me - the Mojito does.

There's not much point to the Vertigo. It is heavier and much more expensive than the Mojito. Probably why Sky now use the Mojito rather than Vertigo.

A cheaper alternative to the Mojito is the K50 which can sometimes be had for silly money. I got one for £37 recently. The inner shape is the same as the Mojito so if one fits, so should the other. The padding isn't quite as good and externally it is slightly longer for and aft. For the retail (around £80) I'd pay the extra for the Mojito but if you are on a budget and can source a cheap K50 it is well worth grabbing).

I ordered an Aeon and a Mojito from Wiggle tried them on Aeon fitted lovely Mojito too tight kept the Aeon and its a joy in this weather (wonder if it may be cold in winter but f&& it its great now!)

I'm looking for something to change,whole sweat from helmet is going down on my nose.And it is quite anoying because on the hot summer days,most of the training I spend on removing sweat from nose.
I don't know what's the problem,because while I had other Bell helmet,sweat wasn't problem,at least not this big

cubicboy

Love my Aeon, but yes, you can't stick shades into the vents... mine now face backwards and over my ears... used to it now.

StillGoing

Had my Mojito for around 12 months now and easily the best helmet for me after using Giro and Casco before. My Rudy Project specs were difficult to wear with the helmet but moulding the arms slightly solved that problem. I've yet to be able to hook my specs in the vent holes but then that could just be me being cack handed.

Captain Fagor

I replaced my trusty MET Stradivarius helmet with a Kask Mojito. However, while they are generally very good, my one criticism is that they don't vent very well. I now use a Specialized Prevail in warm weather and use the Mojito in cool weather.

matt-h

i've tried on both the Mojito and the Vertigo and the Vertigo is far more comfortable to me.
Not sure its worth the price and as Rolf F has stated, Sky use the Mojito
