By now, you've seen the Specialized Win-Tunnel analysis, and super cool designs, but the real story is 'How does it feel on the bike?'

use MIPS Air Node technology, which is MIPS ventilation-focused design for impact management. The new design gives way to a new retention system and updated webbing that Specliailzed calls Tri-fix web splitter. It’s slightly thinner and lays closer to the skin than the previous version, with the strap going under instead of over the ear adjustment strap.

If the wind is blowing, the helmet is very comfortable and ventilated. The air passes through like a less aero-focused design. The only time I could feel the heat was slow goings at the top of steep climbs or in the woods on a humid day. By heat, I don’t mean uncomfortable; there was no air blowing. The PC wrap around the edges will extend the helmet’s life from sweat, random hits, and everyday abuse, protecting your investment. This helmet is an investment; atit’s not something you want to roll into the A-line at your local bike park. I feel like the new Evade is like the Tarmac, coming closer and closer to a do-it-all road design. I found myself reluctant to move to the Prevail 3, very satisfied with the performance and fit of the Evade 3.got the aero treatment and more ventilation.

Like the Evade 3, the inside wear areas of the helmet are again reinforced with polycarbonate and should drastically help preserve the helmet from sweat and small bumps around in transport.Coming from Prevail 2, I was curious how the “lots more ventilation” would present itself. I’ve spent nearly all XC mountain bike season and hot summers on the road in the Prevail 2 — content.Much like the Evade 3, the Prevail 3 has a more ovalized shape, but nothing affected my fit.
