S-Works Prevail III Helmet Review

The Road Helmet with Superior Ventilation

The Best Ventilated Helmet Specialized has ever made.

For those riders who value comfort and superior ventilation, the S-Works Prevail 3 is the perfect helmet. It is the ultimate all-around helmet that excels in hot conditions, strenuous climbs, and mountainous stages.

Wearing the Prevail III

We visited Specialized HQ on a hot summers day to try out the cooling on the S-Works Prevail III helmet before launch. See our first look video to find out more.

Increased Airflow

Pushing the limits of ventilation, Specialized have eliminated the air-blocking foam bridges from the centre of the helmet. This has created thru-air channels that increase the surface area of ventilation by 24.5% compared to previous iterations.

AirCage Technology

Woven through the helmet are aramid cables, anchored to carbon fiber side panels. Upon impact, the AirCage Technology works like a suspension bridge and is designed to distribute localized forces throughout the helmet.
