250 grams - this is surprising because the helmet is by no means slimmed down: The shell is hard and comparatively thick, and because it has built-in "expansion joints", it can adapt well to different head shapes. The Wiflex Pro can be customised using the padding strips supplied. The fastening under the chin works magnetically and is easy to operate, the strap is comfortably padded. The ear pieces are perforated for better hearing, which means there is a little wind noise in the ear when you are on the water. If this bothers you, you can easily remove the ear covers. One small drawback is the elasticated strap at the back of the head for adjusting the size, which quickly slipped through on the test model - if you have a head circumference of less than 58 centimetres, you should try the helmet on first.
surf conclusion
The Wiflex Pro helmet is light as a feather and barely noticeable on the head, it also impresses with its good fit and impact-resistant shell. And at just under 70 euros, it is not even overly expensive.
