{"product_id":"kask-bambino-pro-aero-helmet","title":"Kask Bambino Pro Aero Helmet","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost of  us aren’t in the market for a time trial helmet in order to compete in the Tour  de France. That doesn’t mean our races aren’t important, though. The Kask  Bambino Helmet has been developed not necessarily to be wind tunnel perfect,  but rather to offer excellent real world performance over the course of a  triathlon or time trial.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  The Kask  Bambino Helmet has a lobbed-off tail design that sets it apart from some of the  more famous TT helmets we’ve seen over the years. But that’s no accident. The  shape of the Bambino is not only supposed to make you slippery in the face of a  front-force wind, but also offer a much lower drag coefficient when there is a  cross wind. And it will make you much more aero once you put your head down and  are hammering with your eyes focused only a few meters ahead of you. We’ve all  seen enough Tour de France time trials to know that even guys who are bred and  trained to race against the clock also spend an awful lot of time with their  heads down, just ignoring the pain. If you have a helmet with an elongated tail,  that is just acting like a rudder in the wind, causing unnecessary drag. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  Bambino stands apart from many of its competitors by the fact that it has been  designed to be comfortable, and in fact accomplishes that goal. Though ventilation  and aero seldom go hand-in-hand, the Bambino avoids feeling like you have your  head under a salon hair dryer, like the ones your grandma probably uses. It may  not be designed to be as well-ventilated as its brother, the Protone, but the  Bambino has six unobtrusive slits in the forefront of the helmet that combine  with the four exhaust vents at the back to channel enough air around your head  to keep you from overheating. That’s how a notoriously persnickety guy like Bradley  Wiggins can be willing to wear this helmet over the course of a 50- to 60-kilometer  time trial – and win the race, like he did at the World Championships. Comfort  comes also in the form of the reasonably flexible ear section that will make it  easy to slide your head in, while also enhancing the overall aerodynamics of  the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItalian  design nearly always adds a little spice of the unexpected and in the case of  the Kask Bambino; it is how they decided to affix the visor. Using five  magnets, the visor snaps into place without requiring messy Velcro or un-aero  hinges. Though you’ll need to buy the visor separately, you’ll certainly want  to do that since you’ll only get the full benefit of the aerodynamics when you  have snapped your visor in place. Kask has also been thoughtful enough to make  visors with various tints, so that you can interchange them according to the  weather conditions you’ll be facing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chin  strap incorporates soft lateral spacers, which thanks to their shape, enable  excellent ventilation and avoid that unpleasant sweaty strap feeling. The  padding is removable and can be washed once it does start to give off the aroma  of hard work. The material itself is made from Coolmax, which means that it  will be an amazingly effective fabric to wick away your sweat. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kask  Bambino Helmet has passed the CPSC helmet standards for the US and weighs in at  350g in size medium. And if you do have the misfortune to crash your Kask Bambino  within a year after purchase, Kask America will offer you a 25% discount,  according to current prices, on a replacement Kask helmet. All you do is take  it, along with your proof of purchase, to an authorized Kask dealer and they’ll  get you set up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kask  Bambino Helmet will provide you with an unparalleled degree of comfort and an  efficiency cutting through the wind no matter from what direction it is  blowing. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kask","offers":[{"title":"Red \/ M","offer_id":43652133486636,"sku":"CHE00042.204.58","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ L","offer_id":43652133453868,"sku":"CHE00042.204.62","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Anthracite \/ L","offer_id":44045400440876,"sku":"CHE00042.209.62","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ White \/ L","offer_id":44045400506412,"sku":"CHE00024.240.62","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L","offer_id":44045400539180,"sku":"CHE00042.210.62","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ M","offer_id":44045400604716,"sku":"CHE00042.210.58","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Blue \/ L","offer_id":44045400637484,"sku":"CHE00042.218.62","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Blue \/ M","offer_id":44045400670252,"sku":"CHE00042.218.58","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Black \/ L","offer_id":44045400735788,"sku":"CHE00042.211.62","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Black \/ M","offer_id":44045400801324,"sku":"CHE00042.211.58","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ L","offer_id":44045400866860,"sku":"CHE00042.201.62","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ M","offer_id":44045400899628,"sku":"CHE00042.201.58","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/kask-bambino-pro-aero-helmet-7990693.jpg?v=1771300232","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/kask-bambino-pro-aero-helmet","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
