Atop Echo Tower’s exposed ridge summit, I found some dents in the Scarab’s exterior. The foam was completely intact, however, proving the helmet could take a fairly serious battering. The real test of any helmet, of course, is whether you will always tote and wear it—common excuses for not doing so include extra weight, the dork factor and lack of comfort. The Scarab invalidates such lame thinking.
This helmet got a low rating because there are numerous similar helmets that cost about $50 less.
Summary: “Straight out of Milan” is how one tester described the Kong Scarab’s appearance. This bike-hemet-style polystyrene model was easily the most exotic-looking lid in the test — the helmet’s well-shrouded vents do indeed remind one of a scarab. Aside from the excellent ventilation, the Scarab also earns top marks for comfort, with a generous — but not chunky — layer of padding inside, and a padded chin strap. While the fit system was very easy to adjust, there were occasional problems with the push-and-rotate button popping open when bumped. Headlamps were difficult to put on and difficult to adjust for position, due to the headlamp clamps also functioning as the end points of the chin strap. Ponytail wearers may have issues with the rear of the suspension.
Pros: Comfortable; easy to adjust.
Cons: Adjustment dial can pop open.
