WOW- Rudy Project wingspan tt helmet	Can't Post

Anybody else thinking this is a breakthrough design? I'm pretty quick, usually an hour for a 40k bike split and I can say I'm always concerned when I let my head drop and I can feel the hairs on the back of my neck getting tickled when I'm wearing my Bell Meteor helmet. It has such a long tail--

Anybody have any data on the new long vs short aero helmets? I just ordered a new Rudy but I hate to think I might be messing up a good thing that I already have going on...

short tail is better, ive been saying this for a long time with my armchair windtunnel eye lol.

but really, if i had to wear an aerohelmet, id def go with the rudy if it fit.

I like the helmet, but $300? Really? I'm a big believer in nice helmets since one saved my life, but I have a little bit of a hard time shelling out essentially double the cost of a road helmet for an aero one.

So is the Wingspan. One size does NOT fit all ... as they initially tried to make customers believe.
