Illustrative image—not the exact model.

The useful differences are the fastening and equipment package: the Krios Pro 3610-001 uses Fidlock and includes a photochromic shield, while the original Hornet ADV uses double D-rings and a CNS-2 visor. Try those controls and confirm the exact version before comparing offers.

Versions compared: The Klim column uses the US 3610-001 listing; the Shoei column uses the original European Hornet ADV in the 2019 catalog. Hornet ADV 06 and US Hornet X2 are separate models. Original Hornet approval revision and size-specific weight remain unconfirmed in the cited model pages.

How to choose between them

If included light-adapting eyewear matters

Examine the Krios Pro’s supplied shield package and price replacement shields for the exact 3610-001 model.

If considering an original Hornet

Ask for the original model label and parts availability. Compare D-ring operation with the Klim’s closure during the same fitting.

For either helmet

Check the view in your riding position and the approved peak/shield configuration. Use the weight for your size and accessories; the available figures cannot establish a like-for-like weight winner.

Consider the newer Hornet ADV 06

If you are shopping for a newer European adventure model, see the Hornet ADV 06. Shoei lists ECE 22.06 for that model. Compare its documented features with Krios Pro, keeping their regional versions separate.
