Specialized S-Works Prevail 3

The S-Works Prevail 3 helmet is ideal for riders who value comfort and the temperature-regulating benefits of excellent ventilation. It is the ultimate all-round helmet that excels in hot weather, strenuous climbs and mountain stages. In a relentless effort to push the boundaries of ventilation, air-blocking foam bridges have been removed from the centre, creating effective air channels that increase the ventilation area by 24.5% compared to the S-Works Prevail II Vent helmet. When a helmet is hit, its job is to dissipate the energy of the impact. The conventional approach to helmet design is: more foam (EPS) means better energy management. Woven aramid cables run through the helmet and are anchored to the carbon fibre side cheeks. In the event of an impact, the AirCage technology acts like a suspension bridge and is designed to distribute localised forces over the entire helmet. The Occipital Base Adjustment optimises comfort by adapting the fit to the individual head shape and the helmet angle can be adjusted for compatibility with goggles. An adjustable Tri-Fix strap system offers the rider additional comfort thanks to a revised, thinner 10 mm strap that minimises strap noise. And the ultra-lightweight Mindset micro-twist knob fit system with height adjustment has been redesigned for improved support.
