The Louis Garneau Vorttice is arguably the most advanced aerodynamic helmet on the market today. Unlike any other aero helmet produced, it has a dimpled (think golf ball) technology beginning at the front of the helmet that causes air to flow more closely over the helmet. Once air hits the “Vortex Generator” at the precipice of the helmet, the air is accelerated again, so it can glide along to the end of the helmet. This effectively eliminates a significant amount of air disturbance. Additionally a unique vent situated at the highest pressure point on the helmet directs airflow internally along 3 channels to keep the rider cool while simultaneously collecting and managing the airflow that is changing swirling around the front of the helmet. Essentially, as air is pushed in by the riders high speed, it wicks the heat produced from the cyclist’s head out the exhaust ports in the rear. Wind tunnel tested with and without, the Vorttice lens (included with the helmet) integrates with the shape of the helmet to further improve aerodynamic performance and ventilation. With this helmet visor combo, any rider will find themselves going faster and expending less energy to do so.

Features:

Weight: 12 oz/340 g

Certifications: CPSC-ASTM

Vents: 2

Golf Ball Effect: Texturized surface on the front of the helmet helps to achieve better laminar airflow.

Vortex Generator: Small blades at the surface of the helmet create vortices that energize the laminar layer resulting in improved performance.

Evacuation Channels: In order to avoid hindering aerodynamics, the vent opening must be strategically positioned. When the cyclist is riding straight forward, the air must change direction to skirt around the helmet. This creates a high pressure zone in front of the helmet, making it the perfect place to position the vent. Air goes in at high speed, moves around the head through the evacuation channels, and out by the back opening. Heat produced by the cyclist's head is then wicked out through the back.

In-Mold Construction: Industrial process binding the microplastic and polystyrene together to add superior mechanical properties to these materials.

Spiderlock SL: So light, this rack-and-pinion system can be adjusted using only one hand to stabilize the helmet around the head. It is provided with an ergonomic foam padding.

Steplock Divider:Cam locking device to quickly adjust strap position.

Sealed Airdry Padding: Washable sealed adjustment padding for enhanced durability, ergonomic design for optimum comfort.

Featherweight: Helmet light enough to make you forget you are wearing it.

Vorttice Lens Included: Designed to improve aerodynamic performance.
