Aerodynamic

This high end cycling helmet was designed with speed in mind. It was developed in the wind tunnel to cut through air with as little resistance as possible. First time in history a manufacturer included the fit of sports eyewear in it’s design. The Aro 5 cycling helmet is the most aerodynamic helmet available on the market. Speed, comfort and design match perfectly!

MIPS® & EPS foam

The helmet was made in EPS foam & a polycarbonate shell. They added the MIPS system for extra safety. MIPS stands for Multi Directional Impact Protection System. This actually is a shell inside the helmet which is able to rotate slightly during impact. This makes sure pressure will spread over the surface more evenly and protect you brain against this brute force. By its integration you won’t notice a thing when wearing the helmet, but it will definitely make a difference on impact.

BOA® FS1-1 360-degree fit system

An adjustable fitting system to provide secure and thight fit. You can adjust height and size very easy. Oakley even focussed on eyewear integration. The fitting was provided with a TX1 Lace. It’s less thick than conventional straps used by other brands. This ensure perfect fit with all types of eyewear. The fit is secured evenly around the head, so no pressure points build up.

X-STATIC® brow pad

By adding silver particles to the padding, this ensures a natural antibacterial coating on the textile. No stains or odors will build up over time, even in the hardest conditions when sweating heavily.
