Designed with input from former 4X world champion Michal Prokop, Uvex’s new convertible full/half-shell helmet promises lightweight, cool and versatile protection for enduro racers. It certainly delivers on the first count, with a fibreglass chinguard helping to give an all-in weight of just 667g (M-XL size). It looks like it should be pretty airy too, with 13 vents and a deeply channelled EPS liner. A Boa ratchet at the back gives a wide range of fit adjustment, and goggle compatibility looks good too, thanks to the adjustable peak and retaining clip at the back. If, like us, you’re a little unsure about the Jakkyl’s multicoloured look, you’ll be pleased to hear that it’s also available in two more subtle designs.
