Top notch.

Love this helmet. I've been using catlike helmets since 2007. First the whisper, then the whisper plus and now the mixino. I've been using mine since June (2013), I've ridden about 2000 miles with it and it's by far the best catlike helmet I've used. The retention system is so much better than the previous versions and it no longer interferes with my sunglasses. It's also lighter than the whisper plus and vents just as well (or better). I have one in matte black and one in white. I tend to use the matte black one more often.

Thank you for your feedback.

Most comfortable helmet I've owned

Over the years, I've owned many of the top end Giro and Bell helmets (Giro generally fit me a bit better). When the Catlike helmets become available in the US, I decided to give this one a try. The helmet is feather light and I can barely tell I have it on. The retention system is easy to adjust and feels like the helmet is very secure. Great ventilation, nice build quality, and sharp looks. I'll definitely look to Catlike for my next helmet.

Thank you for your feedback.

Lightweight and great airflow!

I bought this for my wife after she crash-tested her 3 year-old Catlike helmet. Despite a bad crash (broken radius in one arm and another bone in her wrist in the other), the helmet gave its life to protect her. A large rash and dent in the plastic shell above the temple showed just how hard she hit the ground with her head. She had a slight concussion, but the helmet looked like it saved her from a more serious head injury.

Thank you for your feedback.

Safety I take seriously...

All helmets are made of EPS, styrofoam, which is supposed to crush on impact. More surface area touching your head less crush. This Catlike design has minimal EPS surface area touching your head, so it will crush easily on impact. That's what we want. I'm still recovering from a brain injury I got wearing a helmet that placed a lot of EPS surface area against my head, and did NOT crush on impact. For six months I couldn't make new memories. Not recommended. This helmet is an awesome answer to that challenge. And excellent fit and airflow. Yay.

Thank you for your feedback.

Featherlight and super well ventilated

This is my 4th Catlike helmet and by far my favorite. The new adjustment reel in the back works very well. The weight is such that it feels like you're not wearing a helmet at all. The ventilation is amazing. Love the design too.

Thank you for your feedback.

Comfortable, well ventilated, and light head saver.

This is my 3rd Mixino. I love them. One is with one of my bikes in another state and another one recently saved my head in a bad bike crash which left me with a broken hand instead of in a coma. The helmet did its job, by sacrificing itself to absorb the energy of the crash. Kudos to Catlike for making this incredible piece of kit!

Thank you for your feedback.

Great design, great fit, however, has a large looking profile on my head

Great aesthetics, fit, and lightweight. Only slightly negative comment is that the profile of the helmet looks big and bulgy on my head. I bought a medium (the correct size for my head per Catlike's measurement table) and it looks like it comes off my head more than some other lowerslimmer profile helmets. I'd still recommend the helmet.

Thank you for your feedback.

So unique, the wearer stands out in a crowd. Additionally, it keeps your head cool and well-vented.

It's light, fits well, looks great and keeps me ventilated.

This is my second Catlike helmet and pleased to own it. The way the padding sits, it gives this tri-mohawk look. It's pretty great for your Prodigy cover band.

Thank you for your feedback.

Quiet, low profile and secure

Only one concern is the cushion items. Small amount of velcro allows missplacement issues and one separated after only a month of use. The kit came with some extras so a simple replacement was all that was needed. It is the best looking and performing unit I have owned. Fit is superior to other brands and the comments from other riders are solely about the look. Love it!

Thank you for your feedback.

Love this helmet. A little pricey, but worth it.

Great air flow and very light. Style may not fit all head shapes.

Great helmet especially for hot weather.

I have used many different helmets and this is the most comfortable. It is the best ventilated and had enough adjustment to make the fit perfect. In hot wether this is by far my favorite helmet.

Great fitting, lightweight helmet

Just got the helmet in matte black and I'm quite pleased. Nice tight fit, loads of adjustments and a pretty snappy design in my view. I inline skate more than I cycle, and I had the mixino on today for a hard 20k skate in 88F heat - no issues whatsoever. I was slightly surprised that I ended up with a medium (was thinking large), but the medium fits me very well - not sure if the helmet runs slightly big. I had read some complaints about adjustment strap comfort, but I did not find that to be the case at all - definite thumbs up from me.

Thank you for your feedback.

Practical, unique, beautiful

Catlike has really come through with the Mixino. What I loved about my Whisper Plus (unique look, superior ventilation) has carried over, an what I didn't love has been eliminated (less customizable fit, weight). The retention system is fantastic, and when I followed the directions for fitting those w a round head, it was the most comfortable fit I have been able to achieve with a bike helmet. The only problem I have with it is that the foreward-most straps, which lay over the temples, are set into the helmet waaay too far forward. I am used to those straps laying over the temples' hairline, but these are set further forward than that, the feel of which drove me nuts. My solution was to pop out the forward connecting points of the retention system, thread the straps aft of those points, and pop the rentention system back in. That positioned the straps exactly where I wanted them, without seemingly compromising function, as pulling down on the straps as hard as I could did not result in the rentention system popping out. I'm glad I was able to figure this solution out, because I would have otherwise been forced to consider returning the helmet. Overall, one gets a very high quality helmet (even for the price), and will revel in the feeling of wearing no helmet at all (but for the straps telling you it's there). Hopefully Catlike will address the positioning of the forward straps, but until then my little workaround seems to be a good solution.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best of the best new helmets.

LikesUnsurpassed Style, Safety and technology, color combination (Matches my team kit), excellent fit and adjust-ability, comfort, and that my Oakley and Giro Havik glasses fit perfectly in the vent holes. You get what you pay for, and while a bit more expensive than some, this is well worth it.

Dislikes None.
