The S-Works Prevail 3 helmet is perfect for cyclists who appreciate the comfort and thermoregulation characteristics offered by superior ventilation. It is the ultimate multi-use helmet that excels in hot conditions, strenuous climbs and mountain stages.
In a never-ending quest to find the limits of ventilation, we eliminated the central 'jumpers' from the foam material, which block air from the center, effectively creating 'channels' that increase the ventilation surface area by 24.5% compared to S-Works Prevail II Vent. The all-new S-Works Prevail 3 has the largest ventilation zone of any helmet we've ever made.
When a helmet suffers an impact, its job is to dissipate the energy generated. The conventional approach is that more foam (EPS) means better energy management. We rewrote the book on cycling helmet design by going beyond foam. Aramid cables run through the helmet and are anchored to the carbon fiber side panels. Upon impact, AirCage* technology works like a suspension bridge and is designed to distribute localized forces throughout the helmet.
Occipital adjustment allows for a custom fit, and the helmet angle can also be managed for goggle compatibility. The TriFix system now has thinner straps to avoid any irritation. The Mindset holding system with micro register is very light and has an even better grip for on-the-fly adjustments while pedaling.
MIPS Node Air technology is integrated into the padding with a thin layer designed to dissipate rotational forces. Perforations have been added to further improve comfort and performance.
