This can be a huge issue especially during the summer months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: While loads of vents are great for allowing lots of air to rush in for cooling, they can also let in insects. An under-helmet cap will stop bees \/ wasps getting tangled in your hair.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/48644_kask_mojito_x_road_cycling_helmet.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28432 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/48644_kask_mojito_x_road_cycling_helmet.jpg 470w, https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/48644_kask_mojito_x_road_cycling_helmet-150x150.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/470;\" \/><figcaption><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/kask-mojito-x-road-cycling-helmet-133835.html\">Kask Mojito X<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kask Mojito X offers light weight (Medium 230g) together with a good amount of ventilation, with 26 large vents.

An aero road helmet usually features less ventilation and slightly more weight. The upside for these helmets is that they offer better aerodynamics. Less ventilation can also be useful in cooler temeratures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: Combat the sweat build up in your helmet by carrying a spare cap for coffee stops &#8211; A fresh cap is much nicer to fit than a sweat-soaked one when it&#8217;s time for the ride home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/55579_kask_utopia_road_cycling_helmet.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28438 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/55579_kask_utopia_road_cycling_helmet.jpg 470w, https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/55579_kask_utopia_road_cycling_helmet-150x150.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/470;\" \/><figcaption><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/kask-utopia-road-cycling-helmet-145591.html\">Kask Utopia<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Kask&#8217;s aero road helmet, the Utopia, offers relatively light weight for an Aero road helmet, at 235g for medium.
