KLIM Krios Pro Helmet Review - In a class of its own
Vložit

- Prepare to hear to word 'lightweight' an annoying number of times. The Klim Krios Pro is now ECE 22.06 approved and unlike most other helmets that have gotten bigger and heavier in achieving the more recent helmet safety standard, the Krios Pro sits in a completely different weight class to the rest.
It's far from a one trick pony and packs tonnes of great features, making it one of the stand out choices in the Dual Sport helmet segment in a post 22.06 world.

The problem with Klim isn't the quality alone, it's the inconsistency.
Tried to make a warranty claim on a pair of their gloves, and my first batch of photos was rejected because they were too "low quality", and the 2nd batch was rejected because the quality was too high, leading to the file size being too large for their system.
My Klim pants have held up wonderfully, and my 3 pairs of different Klim gloves have all been trash, with serious quality issues (especially regarding stitching, seams falling apart while exclusively road riding)
Thank you for the in depth review, this is one of the helmets I'm considering currently
Andrew - so are the new transitions visor stronger than the one's fitted to the older helmets? If so can they be retrofitted?
I agree with your review it is slightly more noisey thank my tour4 I made the change as someone with a big head I use 2XL &tour 5 doesn’t come in 2XL anymore 🤬. I love this Krios the sun on a up to down visor only takes a few seconds to alter so not a real issue for me . Overall it’s a 9/10 helmet imo so glad I payed out for one
This was a good review, it has been a great helmet for me, but I've had a couple of issues.
I went on a road trip to Mexico and didn't bring the peak blanking panel things so had to keep it on. After being on the highway all day around 80 mph, there was some pretty high pressure on the front of my head from where the EPS foam cuts off, it actually left a bit of a welt in my head and was super uncomfortable. I eventually stuffed a paper towel below the head liner and it mostly fixed the issue. This was my fault for not being able to take the peak off and being on the highway for so long.
Another thing is I can't get the chin curtain to seat properly after taking the cheekpads out. I can't fully seat the little tabs that go between the EPS layer and the shell itself, perhaps with some fiddling I can get them closer, but isn't a deal breaker.
Again those are minor issues, I'm generally happy with it - in fact I bought another one after I crashed in my first one a few weeks ago. The lighter weight makes more of a difference to me since I have my Sena and a GoPro on it so the lower base weight makes a big difference.
Great rewiev. Had the Krios for about 3 Months, it it is too loud. Sold it and got a X4 lel
The deal breaker is that Klim helmets only carry TWO helmet shell sizes. Small to Medium and Large to XXL. I bought the previous Klim Krios size Large. I looked like a bobble head.... I really like the light weight and style, but had moved on to different brand with more shell sizes.
Just purchased a blue colored scheme sized XL weight around 1480... Tested fitment and it was good.. Using it for daily road to work commute and realised whenever I remove it from my head it kind of like pulling my ears and feels like a 7 years old school naughty boy being pull by angry history teacher... Did you all had the same issue?
I daily the previous version of this helmet and have for the past three years. One of the worst premium helmets I've ever owned. The fid lock keeps wanting to come loose and its a pain to retighten. The face shield doesn't fully seal at the bottom and lets fine dust flow straight towards my eyes. The liner always wants to work itself out but that might be me not putting it back in right.
Love the koroyd and transitions shield. If they fixed the face shield in this version then thats great. I'm getting something else though when this helmet times out in two more years.
I wanted to buy the Arai X5 tour or the Klim Krios Pro but went with the Touratech Aventuro Carbon 2 instead because it's lighter and more premium than both the Klim and Arai
Touratech's clothing is usually just their logo on another brand's product. In this case it's the Nexx XD1 but with a carbon shell. The weight of the Touratech is 1330 in the M and L shell, so heavier than the Klim. It's also only 22.05 approved, the helmets I reference are 22.06 the newer, higher standard. Andrew
@@AdventureRiderMoto Touratech/Nexx have a new helmet Carbon Pro/Xwed 3 with 22.06 standard, a bit heavy then Klim but also have a safety release feature that you don't have on that, internal sun shade, if you have more features it will be more heavy.
Why do I never hear on reviews about helmets keeping bugs out ? It’s great having vents but what is there to stop insects getting into your helmet ..riding along and all of a sudden you have something crawling in your hair ..vents should have some sort of mesh barrier to help stop this
This helmet has a mesh vent on the mouth piece
Would you say that this helmet is light weight?
Jokes aside, not sure if you rode with it but you can't crack open the visor like most helmets, that's a huge oversight.
Haha, maybe I forgot to mention!
Regarding the visor mechanism, I didn't notice it as everything seemed fine to me so I asked one of my friends who is an off road instructor and uses it all day and he says his does not suffer this issue and he can ride with it cracked open just fine. As you say it would be an odd oversight, so hopefully it's not universally the case.
Arai...period
I will never buy a helmet without intergrated sunvisor
Expensive helmet built in China 🇨🇳 cheaply !
Arai made in Japan 🇯🇵 with passion and pride 🤷🏻
