FAQs
What does WG11 compliance mean for safety?
WG11 is KASK's internal, objective, and scientific protocol for measuring helmet performance against rotational impacts. Compliance means the Protone Icon has been tested and verified to meet these advanced safety standards.
How is the Protone Icon different from the original Protone helmet?
The Protone Icon features updated aesthetics, improved ventilation, enhanced aerodynamics, a refined fit system with a new rubber dial and vertical stabilizer, and seamless construction technology for a sleeker look.
Can I wash the helmet's interior padding?
Yes, the interior padding can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Ensure it is completely dry before re-inserting it into the helmet.
What is the best way to clean the helmet?
Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaning agents that could damage the helmet's shell or finish.
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
The Kask Protone Icon WG11 Helmet is specifically designed for road cycling. While it offers excellent protection, its aerodynamic and ventilation features are optimized for road conditions, and it may not provide the coverage or features required for mountain biking.
How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?
A correctly fitting helmet should sit level on your head, covering your forehead. It should feel snug without any pressure points, and it should not move excessively when you shake your head. The straps should form a 'V' under your ears, and the chin strap should be snug.
What is the warranty period for the Protone Icon helmet?
Please refer to Kask's official warranty policy for detailed information on the warranty period and coverage for the Protone Icon helmet. Typically, Kask offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the over-injected rubber dial at the rear of the helmet to tighten or loosen the fit. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head before adjusting.
Straps are uncomfortable or not positioned correctly
Re-adjust the side straps to ensure they form a 'V' under each earlobe. Check that the chin strap is snug but not constricting.
Difficulty fitting long hair comfortably
Utilize the redesigned vertical stabilizer to adjust the helmet's rear cradle for a more accommodating fit for ponytails or longer hair.
Padding feels uncomfortable
Ensure the interior padding is correctly positioned. If necessary, remove and re-attach the padding. Replacement padding may be available from Kask.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Adjust Straps: Loosen the chin strap and side straps. Place the helmet on your head, ensuring it sits level and covers the forehead. Adjust the straps so they form a 'V' under each earlobe and the chin strap is snug but comfortable.
- Fit Dial: Turn the over-injected rubber dial at the rear of the helmet counter-clockwise to loosen the fit system. Once the helmet is positioned correctly, turn the dial clockwise to tighten until the helmet feels secure but not overly tight.
- Vertical Stabilizer: Adjust the vertical stabilizer at the back of the helmet to accommodate your hairstyle, ensuring a comfortable and stable fit.
Compatibility:
The Protone Icon WG11 Helmet is designed for adult unisex use and is compatible with most road cycling setups. The fit system is designed to accommodate various hairstyles.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the helmet's exterior and interior padding. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet materials.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ideally, store it in its original box or a helmet bag to protect it from scratches and dust.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn straps. If any damage is found, the helmet should be replaced immediately.
