Specialized Airnet

In the helmet world, there's an unwritten rule that many designs seem to follow:

aerodynamics, weight, aesthetics, and ventilation—pick two, there's your helmet. In

our typical fashion, however, we don't follow these norms—we innovate. And it's

precisely this mentality that led us to the Airnet with MIPS—patented protection

against "rotational violence" caused by angled impacts. Loosely based upon the

leather "hairnets" that cyclists used to wear before protection was a priority, we took

their ventilation and classic style and incorporated them into a modern helmet design

that combines all of the above features.

Although we had the hairnet shape in mind during the design phase, we started by

looking at the category leader in aerodynamic road helmets, our S-Works Evade, to see

if we could make a classic style that wasn't only aesthetically pleasing, but also helped

in the aero department. What we came up with is our third fastest helmet, behind the

TT and Evade, that's lightweight, well ventilated, and looking good no matter your

riding style.

The Airnet with MIPS also features our ultra-light Mindset HairPort micro-dial fit

system making the perfect fit easily achievable, our drirelease® Merino wool pads

provide you with increased comfort, odor control, and sweat management. You'll also

find that it's equipped with the burgeoning MIPS technology (Multi-Directional Impact

Protection System). Clean and simple, the Airnet helmet with MIPS is the ideal blend of

functionality and performance for riders seeking both adventure and style.
