UVEX Wing RS Bicycle Helmet

The Wing RS is lightweight (295g or 295g depending on shell size), and extremely well ventilated with 22 openings in the shell. The double inmold process used to make this helmet allows us to incorporate vents so large that we had the unique problem of large insects impacting rider's scalps. This was something that mountain bikers, in particular, ran into (literally) so we molded in Bee Stop mesh (Molded-in mesh in the large, forward vents that prevents bugs from impacting the scalp through the large ventilation openings). As a side benefit, it also keeps hair from sticking out of the helmet vents. The Wing rs offers the Individual Adapting System (IAS): With its ratcheting closure mechanism, and pivot points, the UVEX IAS 2-system provides a unique, three-dimensional, and micro-adjustable fit. The integrated strap system guide guarantees a good and tight fit. The IAS knob can be operated with one hand, while the helmet is on. The system also features a ventilated forehead with anti-allergic, washable cushion. Monomatic closure: Most helmets use a standard click-lock, and anyone who rides knows that the fit of the chin strap can change as you get moving and start to sweat. Until now, you had a choice: stop and fiddle with your straps, or ride with a loose strap. UVEX has solved that particular annoyance with a ratcheted design (similar to what you might find on a pair of bike shoes or in-line skates, only smaller). This allows you to fine-tune how tight the strap closes on the chin on the fly. The strap itself is a 16mm wide, non-fade, uv-resistant, light, smooth, and easy on the skin.
