Klim Krios Pro Carbon Helmet

The Klim Krios Pro helmet is an adventure helmet derived from the original Klim Krios and is intended to be the lightest adventure helmet on the market.

Crafted from Krios' hand-laid full carbon fiber shell—both spelled with a K by Klim—the helmet is designed to protect your head.

With its aerodynamic superiority and unmatched acoustic and touch comfort, the Krios Pro helmet makes every ride the ultimate ADV experience

. As it is an ADV motorcycle helmet, you can fully adapt the various features, including the visor and peak, to your riding needs. This means you can use the Krios Pro for the road, adventure, mud, or trail riding, as the visor opening is large enough for goggles. Material The material of the Klim helmet consists of a high-performance carbon fiber construction (carbon fiber), which is why it is so light in a category where helmets tend to be heavy.

This is often the case due to the off-road design of the helmet and extra features such as a large peak. But with its light weight of around 1300 g, the Krios Pro helmet is very practical when you leave the road.

It is also both ECE and DOT certified and is available in 2 shell sizes. Ventilation For ventilation, the Klim Krios Pro off-road helmet has an adjustable vent at the chin and another on the forehead. Both are large and should allow a lot of air through, although you can always switch to wearing goggles if you want to let even more air through the helmet. There are three exhaust vents on the back, two of which are on the sides and one on top under the spoiler. Visor The helmet visor has a good selection of features. The visor opening, as is customary with adventure helmets, is large enough to wear goggles in the helmet. The Klim Krios Pro helmet comes standard with a clear visor designed for a Pinlock, but the Pinlock insert is not included. Instead, you receive a Transitions self-tinting visor, which is great considering that everything together is included in the price of €500, and these visors alone cost around €150. A self-tinting visor means that the face shield automatically changes color depending on the amount of light. The visor can also be easily replaced without tools. Comfort When it comes to the interior of the Krios Pro, things get really interesting. The liner is made of Klim's Klimatek material, which is moisture-wicking and antibacterial. The Krios Pro uses a magnetic Fidlock chin strap to make proper closing easier. The helmet was designed to be compatible with the Sena 10U system, even though there are no speaker cutouts. However, what is very interesting about the helmet's liner is that the Krios Pro uses Koroyd material and construction instead of standard EPS liner. This liner basically looks like a row of drinking straws, but absorbs impacts better and more evenly than EPS. But the other advantage this structure brings is that it is ultra-light, better ventilated, and also absorbs oblique impacts better. We have seen similar improvements in helmet safety from other off-road helmet manufacturers such as Airoh with their AMSS system in their motocross helmets, even though that was mainly designed to reduce energy from oblique impacts rather than overall energy. Summary The Klim Krios Pro manages to hold its own against its main competitors from Shoei and Arai. While Shoei and Arai offer some more premium features such as more shell sizes and quality, Klim has produced a good helmet with some innovative features that definitely makes it more than just a normal ADV helmet.
