POWERSLIDE Kaze 90 (908400)

The Vento Kineticore Helmet features the perfect mix of comfort, aerodynamics, and safety that you seek for your next race or training ride. Kineticore technology lines the helmet, protecting your hea more→d from direct and rotational impact during an unwanted crash. Finding your perfect fit with the ScrollSys adjustment belt gives you lasting comfort for long days in the saddle, while the floating headband helps to increase airflow and keep your head cool during those hot summer days. Designed with a sprint position in mind, the Vento is built with a 15-degree angle to maximize aerodynamics for a podium performance.

Before heading out on our next road ride, trail adventure, or daily commute, we strap on the Bell Falcon XR MIPS Helmet to keep our noggin protected. It features a lightweight, durable fusion in-mold more→polycarbonate shell with MIPS Evolve technology for added protection against rotational forces in the event of off-center impacts. For a snug, secure fit, we tighten down the Fidlock buckles and no-twist tri-glides.

Finding the right aero helmet can be a challenge. There are a number of boxes that can be tricky to check, firstly, aerodynamics, then breathability, comfort, fit, and style. The first few may be easy more→to tick, but many aero helmets are a bit lacking when it comes to the aesthetic department, and result in you resembling a bobblehead or cartoon character. In spite of the challenge in the design department, Smith has pushed beyond the com1petition to deliver a helmet that offers protection, aerodynamics, ventilation, and it looks damn good too, with the Ignite MIPS Helmet. The Ignite is built with Smith's signature Aerocore in-mold construction, combing a hard polycarbonate shell with EPS foam,…

Even if you know the twists and turns of the trail like the back of your hand, your noggin still deserves reliable protection against unexpected falls and impacts.

Its polycarbonate shell is designed to act as the initial barrier when charging trails, and underlying EPS foam absorbs impact through every fall. The A3 offers additional coverage along the temples and base of your head than its smaller sibling, the A2, but doesn't go overboard with chin bars that are better-suited for the bike park. MIPS technology repositions the helmet to soak up angled impacts, and a ventilated shell keeps you …

Everyday protection shouldn't mean breaking the bank, and it certainly shouldn't mean skipping out on critical technology when it comes to shielding your noggin. With the Smith Convoy MIPS helmet you more→can have your cake and eat it too, with an accommodating price point, and in-mold polycarbonate shell that takes the brunt of impacts. Additionally, Smith equips the helmet with MIPS technology to reduce forces in rotational hits.

When we head to the resort, we strap Smith's Level Helmet to our dome every time we click in. This is one of Smith's newer, lighter helmets designed with a hybrid Aerocore construction and honeycomb-s more→haped Koroyd inserts to increase levels of protection while minimizing weight. The hybrid construction combines tough ABS with flyweight in-mold technology for a light, protective fit.
