You may ride for a healthy lifestyle, to beat the traffic on a commute or for social spins with friends. But whatever the bike ride, the ARO3 Endurance Helmet (MIPS) keeps you safer and more confident as you enjoy your saddle time. The low-profile design has evolved from the previous generation, now sitting lower, more securely and more naturally on your head. An increase in vents, from 11 to 19, offers plenty of airflow to your head too, maintaining freshness when the heat is on. MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) The ARO3 Endurance has been designed using innovative MIPS technology, inspiring confidence and offering the ultimate form of protection should you suffer an unexpected fall from the saddle. The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. And here Oakley deploys their simple and secure 360° fit system. Using the twist dial at the rear you have quick and easy adjustment before you set off and on the fly. It’s height adjustable too, making it easy to get the fit right for your specific head shape. Oakley Sweat the Details When you’re pedalling hard and working up some heat, the Ionic+ padding deals quickly with sweat. Not only quick wicking it’s quick drying too and with silver ions, prevents the build-up of bacteria and odours. Larger front vents also optimise cooling as you ride.
