Generally with helmets, the more you pay, the lighter they are. Uvex’s i-vo bucks that trend big time. The very lightest lids weigh around 180g; our i-vo tipped the scales at 205g without its peak – even lighter than Uvex claim.
It has an excellent quality finish and offers a high degree of adjustability and decent venting. Uvex don’t skimp on the padding either, with plenty throughout as well as a padded chinstrap. The tongue-and-groove retention system does take a bit of getting used to, though.
