Kask Protone rear cradle pads

Hi, has anyone got a source for replacement pads for the rear cradle of this helmet. I do not mean the standard set that includes only the pads for inside the shell of the helmet.

Thanks

Have you tried their customer service direct - sometimes these companies even take pity on you and send out a freebie!

Thanks Daniel! I need some replacement pads for my K50 . . . just emailed them

So I'm drawing a blank on getting replacement pads for my Kask K50 (discontinued helmet). Does anyone know where I could get some "proper" self adhesive universal pads from? everything I can see on line requires the addition of velcro pads to the cage/helmet.

So the original pads are glued in permanently to the helmet and don't use velcro?

If you went the same route, you'd need to glue to the already glued area, unless you could somehow clean it off, but I thought helmet materials could be quite susceptible to issues dependant on the makeup of the adhesive you used.

I'm pretty sure they always say not to put stickers on the outer shell for example, as it can, apparently, compromise it's performance should you require it.

If you do buy the aftermarket generic ones, would sticking velcro on not make more sense (As there will be glue involved either way), as then you can easily remove the pads for washing, or have two sets to rotate?

Yeah - good point! I think the existing ones are applied using a self adhesive backing - definitely not velcro and I was trying to keep it the same. The pads affix to the cradle as opposed to the helmet shell.
