The £149.99 Pro SL has a micro-adjustment fit system and numerous anchor points in the rear retention system. The Koroyd technology is found in the core of the helmet, and is designed to improve impact absorption. To get a CE certification bike helmets have to show to reduce risk of a skull fracture by 40%, and helmets with the Koroyd shell design found on the Pro SL claim to limit this to 5%. As well as top notch protection Endura claim the Pro SL offers superior ventilation thanks to angled tubes in the shell structure, which increases airflow.

The FS260-Pro is £89.99, and while it doesn't have the Koroyd impact protection, it's at home in the mountains with a claimed weight of 210g for the M/L version and under 200g for the small lid. It comes in white, high-vis green and black colourways, with twin striped and reflective details at the rear, and there's multiple large air vents to maximise ventilation. Antibacterial fast wicking padding add comfort and reduce the pong for even the sweatiest of days in the mountains.
Both lids are available now, check out Endura's website for more info.
After cobbling together a few hundred quid during his student days off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story), Jack bought his first road bike at the age of 20 and has been hooked ever since. He joined road.cc in 2017, having previously worked for 220 Triathlon magazine. Jack's preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking (the latter being another long story), and on Sunday afternoons he can often be found on an M5 service station indulging in his favourite post-race meal of 20 chicken nuggets, a sausage roll, caramel shortbread and a large strawberry milkshake.
