I'd always wanted to get a Catlike Kompact since seeing them bobbing around on the climbs in the Tour a few years back. Well I just got this one last year, and I've never felt a more comfortable, secure helmet. Very lightweight too. Feels like an octapus has latched itself onto your noggin. My Giro Monza, on the other hand, felt like a dead cat sitting up there. The Whisper's looks aren't quite doing it for me though.
