Team Sky have a technical partnership agreement with KASK and the riders have been wearing Vertigo helmets specially adapted to suit their preferences.
KASK is the Italian leader in the production of cycling helmets and the quality of workmanship is evident in the overall finish and attention to detail in every feature.
In particular, the helmets incorporate a unique hinged adjustment system that allows for both size and up / down adjustment, which together comfortably cradle the nape of the neck. This system also includes ventilated, non-stick pads, which work to give the helmet a superior fit and deliver a feeling of improved security that is quite unlike any other helmet.
Unsurpassed ventilation is achieved by means of 24 large air vents, a design feature made possible by the reinforced helmet frame - all delivered without any compromise to the aerodynamic qualities of the helmet. Hygiene is also well thought through and each helmet has an easy-clean leatherette chin strap and removable, washable inner pads.
On top of this, KASK has gone beyond the usual minimal consideration of visibility. In addition to the standard reflector stickers on the back, each helmet has reflective strips on every strap.
KASK also has an enviable history of designing and producing safety helmets, born of experience providing protection for those who enjoy mountaineering and work in the building / construction industry. This gives the brand the experience to put rider protection at the top of the list of their priorities when designing cycling helmets.
"By choosing KASK, Team Sky has made a powerful endorsement of the quality of our helmets and we are looking forward to working with them to secure success for the team," said KASK President Angelo Gotti.
And Team Sky Principal Dave Brailsford echoed that when he said: "We are pleased to have found a great partner in KASK, supplying top-of-the-line helmets for Team Sky. It's an innovative company with a technology-based line of products and this suits our needs perfectly.
"We're always looking for competitive advantages using only the best available and always trying to develop the products even further. I believe working with KASK will provide us with another good opportunity to do exactly that."
