Rolling into a huge step-down or kinked hand rail requires a big set of cojones and some musical motivation. The K2 Rant Pro Audio Helmet helps while protecting what little smarts you've picked up from years of night classes. Thanks to built-in speakers, you have the beats to back your park laps or morning pow-slaying, while the hard shell protects your brain matter in a skate style that's more than just digestible.
- The Level 1 Baseline Audio System comes installed in the helmet's soft ear pads but keeps a low profile and can be easily removed
- Audio cable features a single glove-friendly button for pause-play so you can talk to your VIPs on the chair
- Passive Channel Ventilation draws in cool air between your helmet and head to keep you dry and comfortable throughout a full day of charging
- Full-wrap mesh liner aids breathability and wicks excess moisture during a boot pack or hot lap down the front side (it's also washable if it gets funky)
- Low-profile brim keeps snow off your goggles and slidelock, adjustable chin strap keeps the fit snug and effective
- An injection-molded ABS shell and EPS foam liner are bonded together for a lightweight feel with strong protection in case your head meets a rail or tree
- When you do fall, your goggles stay attached thanks to the rear goggle clip
Bottom Line: Solid style and music-playing capability with a proven, brain-saving shell.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

The Rant helmet is well made and has a sturdy feel to it. It doesn't feel cheesy like a lot of other helmets do. The profile is minimal and doesn't make your head look huge.
This helmet doesn't have any fit adjustments. I normally wear a medium helmet with my 57cm head but the medium Rant was uncomfortably tight after several minutes. The white colors also seem to show dirt easily. The outer shell has a rough texture that holds on to dirt.
The audio cable cannot be detached so it's just hanging around if you don't have your tunes plugged in.
If it fits and you're always jacked in to your music I'd recommend it. Otherwise check out the Phase or Rival helmets which are adjustable and have a removeable audio cable.

I am a size 57" as well. What brands have you worked for you in the past? I live overseas and don't have the luxury to go try on helmets. Online shopping is the best I can do.
Does this come with audio in place? The Smith and Bern helmets
Does this come with audio in place? The Smith and Bern helmets require an additional audio purchase.

Yes it comes with the audio, but you cannot disconnect the cord at all.

Good product, comfortable fit, and a sweet design. I returned it because I wasn't too fond of the audio quality on it or the ability to control the music (aside from volume). If that doesn't bother you then I highly recommend this helmet!

This is a great helmet. The speakers work pretty well, the only thing that is a little bit weird is that the ear flaps are set back a little bit. Other than that it is a great helmet.
Change me.
