Anyone have one? Are the sky logos easily removable?

Thinking Medium (I'm at the top end of medium in Giro, medium in Lazer, medium in Catlike)

Want mine? I think I'm going with giro next season. It's not sky.

I’ve got one with Sky logos successfully removed. Was not particularly easy. Just kept after it with rubbing alcohol and fingernails (I’ve got very robust fingernails). There’s very faint ghosting where the logos were, but not noticeable from > a foot away.

Giro Pink?? Those are crazy prices

Protone is the best helmet around, can't wait to get a Valegro when they finally ship...

Yes, as you said yesterday, I have a helmet problem

New Kask that Froome wore at the Tour and Vuelta. Basically a super vented/Climbers version of the Protone (which is already very vented). In theory it replaces the Mojito..

I want one SOOOO bad. And I haven't bought a helmet in 3-4 years. At least

Coincidentally, they just went on sale. But I doubt these are what you had in mind....

No shops around here have any for me to try on. I'm thinking of getting the matte blue version. They have so many good colors to choose from.

Well, I'm thinking someone switched a helmet into a different box at some point, because the one I received is def not the one pictured -- it's the pink/navy one (which honestly, I like even more!) and no sky stickers to peel off..

I LOVE that colorway. Don't think I can pull it off, but it's seriously cool. Next helmet for the GF for sure.

Yes, and yes. I jumped at the TdF Protone from Excel a couple months ago. The Sky logo takes no more than a fingernail to pull off slowly. Additionally, the Protone fits my next to impossible to fit head very comfortably. I recommend it.
