Klim’s new GT1 is a top-of-the -range flip-front helmet designed for well-heeled adventure touring riders. It’s got a fully hand-laid carbon fibre shell which comes in three sizes for minimal weight and uses a proprietary hinge mechanism to ensure the face shield closes flush, giving better aerodynamics and reduced noise. A Koroyd+ EPS layer provides impact protection and incorporates channeling for the extensive ventilation, which uses three front intake and four rear exhaust vents. On the inside a removable and washable Brrro fabric liner is used which has a constant cooling effect for extra comfort in hot conditions. The GT1 comes with two visors – one clear and one polychromatic – which can be quickly swapped over, and it also comes with a Pinlock anti-fog insert. Other features include interchangeable cheek pads and different thickness crown liners to tailor fit and sizing, plus cutouts to accommodate comms system speakers. It comes in a choice of four plain colours or two graphic options for an SRP of £980.
