P108 PRODUCT REVIEWI • BEST-LOOKING MODULAR ON THE MARKET • EXCELLENT VENTILATION • SUPERIOR OPTICS • BEST-LOOKING MODULAR ON • SIZING CAN BE TRICKY List Price: $999.99 Website: https://www.klim.com Klim employs the idea of pas- sive and active protection in all their products. Passive protection keeps the rider alert by ensuring they're cool and comfortable, while active protection uses technology in the equipment to protect the rider in the event of a crash. This concept is tangible in this helmet, as you can clearly see, touch and feel the level of thought and in- novation that went into developing this premium product. It's not inexpensive at $999.99, but you pay for what you get, and what you get with the GT1 Expedi- tion is a top-quality, great-looking to the GT1's super-quiet interior. Klim didn't forget how real custom- ers use this type of helmet, and the build is ready for easy installation of the most popular communica- tion systems. Ventilation is excellent, and I love the ratcheting lower vents. Because they're spring-loaded, they are easy to open and they stay open, even at freeway speeds. The vent on the top of the helmet is easy to operate and clearly indi- cates whether it's open or closed. The Koroyd impact-absorption material and the channeled EPS foam keep air moving through the helmet and are designed to prevent excessive heat buildup inside the helmet, making long days under a hot sun safer and more enjoyable. helmet with ECE 22.06-level protec- tion and modular functionality without the goofy-looking chinbar you see on other modular designs. For my money, the styling, function- ality and highest level of protection are worth every penny. Keith Dowdle The Klim GT1 Expedition's styling, functionality, and highest level of protection are worth every penny of its $999.99 price.
