Looking more like a 'normal' off-road helmet, the Veleno isn't as well ventilated as the others here, or as light. The cutaway section at the front is also quite severe, resulting in a slightly cooler forehead, but one that also feels more exposed to impacts.
The retention system is remarkably similar to Giro's
Roc Loc, and the cutouts down the centre of the straps expose just a little
more skin to that cooling breeze.
What we did like were the gel pads that sit at the
front of the helmet, just above your eyebrows. They prevent sweat from running
into your eyes, but they don't become smelly sweat sponges, as normal pads have
a tendency to do.
Well fitting but doesn’t
quite offer the ventilation or coverage we’d hope for.
